Story from Jam Press (Disgusting Reno) Pictured: Beth and her fianc??. 'We bought the worst house on the street ??? it was disgusting, now it's unrecognisable' A woman who bought the ???worst house on the street??? has revealed the unrecognisable transformation on the once ???disgusting??? property. Beth Bird has become a property owner for the first time aged 24 ??? a distant dream for many in their 20s ?????after plunging her savings into a doer-upper. She purchased the home with her fianc?? [who doesn???t wish to be named] a few months after graduating from university and got stuck in right away with the renovations. Now, she has spent only ??6,700 transforming the entire home ?????and claims it???s estimated to be valued at XX higher than the purchase price. ???I felt excited over anything ?????but a little disgusted at the state the last owners left the house,??? Beth, an ed tech worker, from East Yorkshire, told NeedToKnow.co.uk. ???It was the worst house on a nice street. ???Rather than buy our dream house, we bought one with lots of potential. ???I was really eager to do everything myself, so I got cracking with decorating ?????but it???s safe to say that the house needed a lot of freshening up.??? Beth, who worked several jobs alongside her degree, such as cleaning caravans at a holiday park and running her own sweet bouquet business, managed to save up more than her 10% deposit. In April 2021, they purchased the two-bedroom, semi-detached home for ??140,000 ??? and six months later, their dream home was complete. She said: ???I'd never even painted a wall before this renovation and it's amazing seeing how far I've come with my confidence and skills. ???After months of waiting to get moved in, I couldn't wait to get started with the process. ???I ripped up the carpet in the bathroom the morning after getting the keys and started stripping the wallpaper the same day. ???Walking on the bathroom carpet for the first night was pretty horrific.

She explained, "Randy and I met on Tinder. My first intention was to milk him dry and peace out." But her feelings towards Randy developed over time, as he supported her to get back on her feet, even purchasing her a BMW so that she could drive to work. "I felt sorry that I was neglecting him and his feelings when he was doing so much for me," she said. After a year they met in person, and their relationship blossomed. Carrie is now a stay-at-home girlfriend, living with Randy. Despite the 33-year age gap, they enjoy their time together, going travelling, to festivals and fancy restaurants, all paid for by Randy. However, some people in her life are unsure whether the relationship will last the test of time. Carrie explained, "People typically assume that I'm a gold digger. People stare, I've seen them make fun of us." Even her long-time friend Sabrina has had doubts, appearing in the film she asks the couple: "Does this guy just want some young hot girl to take advantage of?"
