They’re also working on a garden room and changing the girls’ bedrooms as they get older.
“I’ve worked in the financial world, and this was a natural fit,” Ryan said. “In my experience working at other banks, I think it’s extremely unique that GreenStone is willing to work with us in this way. Letting me be the general contractor on my own build, start financing in the middle of the build – it’s unconventional in the industry. With all the rules and

restrictions, it’s nice to have someone allow you to do your own thing.” With the tight margins on house flipping, the Hausers are not planning on buying another home soon. “As the market changes, we’ll reevaluate. Right now we’re just enjoying our own house,” he said. ■
