She was a stylist and he was an AFL and SANFL player \u2013 now the couple have become masters of house flipping and are preparing to sell their latest project.<\/p>\n

It started as a passion project but 18 months later flipping houses is turning into a full-time job for Jodi and Jesse White.<\/p>\n

\n

The couple had limited experience when they started \u2013 Jodi was a hairdresser and Jesse, a former AFL player with Sydney and Collingwood, was starting a graphic design business while playing for Glenelg in the SANFL.<\/p>\n

But they were keen to give it a try and confident they could pull it off.<\/p>\n

Now they are preparing to sell the third Adelaide property they have renovated, this one a three-bedroom house at\u00a0Clearview<\/a>\u00a0they bought in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first one we sold in December 2019, that was all in between having our second child and the SANFL grand final so it was a very busy time,\u201d Ms White said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we tackled this one was very different to the way we tackled the first one.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has since become a full-time job for the couple, with Mr White working on his graphic design business at night.<\/p>\n

They have a team of tradie friends they call on to undertake building, electrical and plumbing work but Ms White said they do the rest themselves.<\/p>\n

This time they have taken a few more risks, including choosing bolder colours, and have worked many 15-hour days in the past few weeks to get the house at\u00a020 Walton Avenue<\/a>\u00a0ready for auction on February 12.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
