“Karen E Laine and Mina Starsiak, a mother-daughter team, are on a mission to rebuild their city of Indianapolis one property at a time. They are purchasing run-down houses and refurbishing them into spectacular urban remodels.”
It continues:
“With Mina’s real estate expertise and Karen’s no-nonsense legal experience, these women are unstoppable in obtaining the land they want and rallying the assistance of their family for demolition and construction. It all boils down to the women of Good Bones when it comes to fascinating new houses in the city of Indianapolis.”
