I was wondering why the heat vents are in the middle of the floor? You did a good job polishing up an old trailer for a renter. As some people were complaining about this and that, but it's a 1978 trailer home, you're not going to put in marble countertops or fancy bathrooms!
kcanded I own a 2002 Solitaire 18x80. One of the finest built homes in the USA (total wood, like a site built home). The vents are in the middle since that’s where the “tube” underneath that conducts heat and air runs from one end to the other. I’m a woman without building vocabulary. Don’t know what to call it. But that’s why. I’d love ceiling vents but I don’t think mobile homes have them.
Thank you for clearing that up!
@@cubbylevi1764 The more modern mobile homes can be built with the heating vents in the ceiling, if you wish.
That's what I'd prefer if I bought a mobile home, don't like the thought of little critters being able to crawl into my home!
kcanded
I mean... you could. Or update appliances.
My home had vents in the floor. I had them covered, new flooring install in every room, and bought a 24,000 btu mini split air conditioning and heat. It works great and don't have to worry about floor vents. My home is a 1985 and i bought it for $7,000! Get a deal and make it into what YOU want it to be!
I lived in a trailer just like that. It was the only place that would accept my cats. It would get terribly hot in the summer, but I had a garden, my own parking and it was very affordable. Now I have my own home.
How old were you when you bought your own home
its way bigger than most apts a good investment to rent out if people dont destroy it
Ground fee ain't cheap, a year cost over 5g
Yup...that's what a ''rental'' looks like folks.
Substandard to most peoples expectations, but in all reality it takes alot of hard work to turn a sows ear into a silk purse, especially when you never know what or how much damage the new tenants may instil.
650.00 a month is fair but on the lower rung of the renters spectrum. He'll get it and because it's not outragious he'll keep it occupied. Smart fiscal move.
As a current renter ( have been in my home almost ten years) my landlord would rather I stay and take good care of this place than to charge what its worth and risk unscroupulous tenants.
Very well said.
Why rent for 10 years? Wow u threw away a lot of money...how bout a tiny home?
@@tinawindham6958a lot of people don't own homes. Get with 2023.
I love how people think this should be finished as a custom home, it's a 1978 mobile home people! I think you did a great job and the people will have a good home to rent and call home that couldn't afford a place to live otherwise.
Hahaha yeah it’s kind of surprising for sure ;). Thank you!
I absolutely love the idea of adding trim to the front of the cabinets. Great job!
Thank you!!
I love this modest reno!! My boyfriend and I are in the middle of doing a similar project with our trailer (she's around the same vintage). We aren't doing anything too fancy because the whole point for us is saving money, but we want to make it nice and liveable. Thank you for posting this! It's getting me excited to finish our little home :)
Thank you! Good luck and let me know how it turns out for ya!
Excuse me if someone already mentioned this; I would definitely put steps at the back door. I don't know about rental property laws or liability laws in your area, but your'e taking a chance if you don't have steps back there.
Sunshine Day - yes - that should be part of insurance....
As fast as a trailer can burn once it catches fire, I'd say definitely put in stairs... the more escape routes you have the better.
So true!
Remember to put smoke detectors in My brother died in a fire when the landlord had none working smoke detectors
We have them in all rentals and it is the tenants responsibility to change the batteries and push the test button monthly, in contract.
So sorry for your loss:( but Not really the landlords fault, everyone should check there smoke detectors where they live... I always inspect mine because I'm paranoid!
Sorry for your loss that’s so sad
I am so sorry to hear 😢. Thank you for sharing because it is things like this we take for granted. Also, I just bought a mobile home and didn’t even THINK about smoke detectors. Thanks again!
@@HammerIIHammer no need to test just burn some toast every once in a while haha
Decent, cleaned up,modest reno. This will give an appreciative renter a decent dwelling. I would rethink back steps. Some zoning, fire restrictions mandate those for quick exit. Your insurance may require it also. Decent job on a low budget.
I wonder if maybe in general people don't know what it is to flip a house. I think the point is to get it back on the market, either for sale or rent, as quickly and cheaply as possible. When renting many people don't take care of the property. Often there is damage either due to neglect, lack of knowledge or on purpose. Though there is a deposit required it may not cover the damage.
What kind of paint did your wife use? Was it the same for the cabinets as for the walls? Were the walls vinyl covered or wallpapered? Thank you.
moviemakerwannabe the walls are panels.
Nice job we live in a 1958 mobile home my husband has done alot of work in it he put hardwood floor in the living RM we have been in it now for 9 years.
Come on, whoever rents this place is not expecting perfection. They will be thrilled with the nice floors, new paint, etc.
fantastic job! Love how you and you wife work together. My boyfriend and I are buying a trailor in similar but worse condition. im looking forward to renovating it.
+Stacy Enos thank you. Yes we like doing renovations together. Stay tuned for a full home renovation video soon.
I think you did a pretty decent job. Simple reno for a simple renter. It looks just like the trailer we had in the early 1980's when my husband worked on a farm. Ours had three bedrooms and the same floor plan, but this is in much better shape actually.we did have a small set of steps out the back, which led down to a small concrete pad, with a little shed covering it and we kept a big freezer out there. My husband used to come in the back door from the barn and get undressed of his barn clothes out there and went straight into the shower. My girls were really young, brings back memories. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! and thank you for watching! ;-)
woah, you bought and renovated this place for an amazing price. congrats man, i'd love to live here
Very clean, it will make someone happy. I would have invested in some thermal windows.
Looks 100 times better. Good job
Crazy how many "experts" there are sitting at home watching these guys do this. You guys did a great job. Can't believe it was only $1,000 renovation.
+Josh Tyler very true!! Yeah Im happy with it, obviosly could do much more to it with more $ invested but turned out good for little investment. Thanks for watching!
If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!
Love it so much good job!
I wish people would stop putting cream/yellow/tan/brown paint on the walls it makes your rooms like 1000% times better if you get a light/nice grey.
Except for those of us who don't like grey.
Grey is a gloomy colour
@@cherylbooth5649 There are some very nice hues of gray I think, especially if you're going very light. To me though, once you start to deepen the color, you need to have good size windows and lots of light. Also for me, gray doesn't go with deep brown furniture, so there's that. 😊
@@Annmarie-gd3fv That's true but again grey is not a favourite colour of mine .
I do understand however what you have explained to me 🙂
I prefer white or an off white
Wow looks good ..
Very nice job guys. Renters should be very proud to call this home. I love in Southern Cal so your asking price for rent is "nothing" compared to what it would go for in our area. No matter where this home would sit, you have a lot to be proud of and I hope all works out well with you and your renters. God Bless.
+NANCY HOPPLE thank you very mich!
+Deborah Davis thanks but yes this is not located in commie california!.
Good economical redo , the trim on the cabinets, a big improvement. Great flooring!
We are remodeling the exact same home, except ours is from the 1960s! Nice to see how great yours turned out and hoping ours does the same!
Whole place was nearly gutted so we took put closets and made the bathroom larger, and the utility room is a build on from my girl's grandpa or great grandpa (it's a family home). Would love any advice on fixing the place up!
I live in a 1977 trailer two bedrooms I love it i just payed 4,000 for it and I save lots of money living there is just me my husband and son! Is so comfy for us we made updates. I love how this one looks
I just purchased a late model trailer. Paid 1600 for it and the lot fee is only 577 a month. I'm currently updating it but so far, the cost is no where near what I spent in my home. I'm loving it!!!
You people complaining don't know what you are talking about! This was a great reno at a budget price for someone on a BUDGET!
Good job, you've had lots of negative comments, but you did make the place look better.
Thank you!!
I'm just responding in defense against those calling you a slumlord. You got new subflooring, you got new floor coverings, you refurbish the cabinets, you have ceiling fans in an air conditioner for every room, you have usable appliances, the walls not being dark paneling are always a bonus, it's clean, painted, and livable, it has running water with no leaks, heat and air and fans and there are no broken windows. And you didn't fix it up for resale. I think it's fine.
Hi Thank you! Yes it is not perfect, it is not new and not being advertised as new. It is a good home for average price for the area, that has had its functional problems repaired but may not have perfect paint and matching trim. ;) thank you for having common sense ;-)
I love the light, bright colors.
I can't believe you would put a $5 faucet on that Kohler sink. Makes the whole kitchen look bad!
Sacred Society
Lotta rentals look like hell. I recently looked at some townhomes for rent. They were awful. Exposed wiring, unfinished cabinets, and just plain nasty. I asked the person showing the place if they were going to fix these things. Was told "a lot has been done to get them 'move-in' ready but they'd get taken care of."
🙄 Looked horrible for being move in ready. Read more reviews online about the place apparently things had been "about to get fixed" for going on 3 years. 😂
@Claude Brewer you can buy a cheap one at walmart for like 25 bucks
Having a deck off the back would be awesome to me, secluded and in the woods..!!! 👍👍👍
It would have been great if you would have replaced the kitchen faucet when you changed the sink.
I agree
Nice job--I like the trim work on the cabinets and I would definitely have some steps by the back door just in case their was a fire and it was the only way out. The last thing you want is a law suit and be sure to put in a working smoke detector. Great work and good luck with your renters!
Thank you
The range hood can easily be painted to match better. The gold on the ceiling fan can be painted to match the black light in the kitchen. I did mine in a house that I bought. Its an easy fix. Two little changes that will make the kitchen look a lot more updated.
Yeah but that is time AND money that doesn't get you more rent. If you rent it out I'm sure they will let you do all that for them. Landlords job is to fix it up for the cheapest and fastest time and get it on the market fast so you start making your money back quickly. Get in and get out make that paper!
@@hotrodhog2170 THAT IS NOT A LANDLORD JOB! A landlords job is to not to fix it the fastest and for cheap! U take your time and fix things right! U don't put somebody in something that u wouldn't live in!
@@amandakemp5090 My point was to get it ready to move in condition quickly and cheaply. Most (not all) tenants cause damage to property. There is no point in spending a great deal of time or money fixing up a mobile home just so it can be destroyed. The person I was replying to said to paint the oven hood and ceiling fan which would not make the landlord anymore money but cost them money and time to do so. If it was a house, that might be different. Most landlords don't like spending money on frivolous things. Less money they spend, the more they make.
@@amandakemp5090 Well theres landlords then theres slumlords, lol. Ya know?
Love the wall paper under the sink
Hey that looks the same like the one that my parents had for rent to and there was a gas stove in the kitchen but it was replaces with an electric stove. I do remember that there was a tub in the bathroom but we replaced it with a step in shower instead.
That vent hood in the kitchen is a must go but pretty nice place overall
I was thinking the same thing !!
Good job man. Amazing how many people are quick to tear every detail apart and complain. I'm sorry but people are RUDE! Get some manners jeez. Great job!
For sure! Thank you!! :)
2 Hammers you're very welcome
I think you did a great job, especially considering the reasonable cost. It wouldn't be smart to invest any more. Some renters are destructive, and it's not always possible to tell through referrals. Notice I said 'some' renters. Some homeowners are just as bad.
I think you did a great job! Pays for itself the first year?!? Change that to FANTASTIC job'!
A new stove hood would make a world of difference!!!
This mobile home looks alot like mine. (1979 skyline) I clicked it to get ideas.. our lot space is $555 just went up from $530.. 2 bedroom 1 bath.. very lucky and grateful to have found it :) thanks for the ideas!
Thanks!!!
You pay way too much lot rent.the land Lord laughing all the way to the bank.he knows you can't afford to move
The reducer strip between living room and kitchen is gonna cause a tripping hazard!
Good thing you dont live there...it keeps the floor from warping
I like the 🔷️🚪
cheaper way to get into real-estate and rental properties. very nicely done,
Thanks!
I’ll take it very good job
Thank you!
I would’ve updated the kitchen a lot more. Cute home
I don't know if you have did this already but make sure you insulate all those water lines very well. The pipes in mobile homes are notorious for freezing and bursting in the winter. I have had this happen to us in the past and it can make a huge mess. Just and FYI.
Love the floors, kitchen nice and bright! Great job.
This is amazing compared to most mobile homes. Some are nasty AF... If youve never lived in a mobile home, then you havent lived,,,
I love my mobile home live in a very nice park. Don't know where you must live to have nasty mobile homes
To be honest for $650.00 dollars a month for a 1970’s Mobile home is outrageous. The finishes could’ve been a lot better. No central Air, old appliances and it have panels on the wall instead of drywall. I’m just so confused.🤷🏾♂️
yeah, it looks like it's on private land instead of in a park but i still can't imagine that's a fair price in missouri unless utilities are included
It is going rate for area. Mobile homes don’t have drywall, the flexibility of walls would lead to cracking and deterioration.
@@HammerIIHammer sounds more like going rate for a nicer home in the area. if your renters are happy then you should be, too, but don't be the kind of landlord that overcharges for something like this- it's a nice place to live, but it's not $650 nice.
good job, i have a mobile home that i need to start renovating as well! this video has given me motivation !
+Albert Garza thanks, just did another one also but didnt have the time to make video of its progress.
Thanks for sharing:) I enjoyed the walk through! UMMM :]
Great job. Someone is going to have a nice place to live.
Need new appliances.....need new stove hood....finish trim on all cabinets
So someone can tear it up? Nah. He spent more than enough. People don't always respect their own property let alone someone else's. He did a great job on this for minimal cost.
Thank you!
@@HammerIIHammer - You're welcome.
Tenants tear up shitty homes. The cheaper the place looks the more they will tear up and this place looks like it's ready for the next disaster tenant.
champagne tastes nastier than a trailer park hooker.
It's a nice looking place. Obviously if I was living there I would upgrade more but as a renter, I would live there. I definitely wish you luck with Pergo in the bathroom. I love Pergo and my condo kitchen and the hallway leading to the bath and bedrooms had this flooring. This year I had what I call the Great Flood of 2020 occur in my first floor condo. Had 2 copper pipes break within 6 days 😭. The water leaked out of the bedroom and under the Pergo...what a disaster! Mopping up basic spills on Pergo is no problem but once water gets underneath - it has to be ripped up. I now have laminate, not Pergo, and it's beautiful but it's not the same. 😕
Guaranteed mice have nested in the insulation in the walls & eaten vast amounts of it.
What's with the lopsided kitchen drawer? It's skewed clockwise creating a gap on the upper right hand corner!!!!!
Lol your a hater man
Some of us just notice these things because they're out of whack and it bothers us. No hate here, maybe just a little OCD.
Slumlords don't care about stuff like that, LOL!
I'm with you..take another 10 mins and fix it right. If you as the landlord don't give a crap, neither will the renter. I'd use thirst front steps n port then on the back (safety). Put an 8 x 8 deck on the front. In TX Gulf Coast, you could easily get $900 for that.
Qq
Thought the siren was here where i live
Kyle Outen right!😂
You guys did a great job on it like the floors👍
Thank you!!
nice work! A lot of counties around here only allow double wides of at least 1000sqft. youve got a great deal going on there
Thanks! No size restrictions here.
Why not make all the cabiners white? The brown one stick iut like a sore thumb. I noticed under the sink it had a leak at one point why not paint it or cover it with a thin piece of painted plywood. Match all the flooring.
I agree. Why sand it end poly when all white is fresh and modern. In fact, fresh white throughout is preferred to the dingy ochre color. Ditto range hood. I would definitely have decks front and back in such a beautiful setting. Overall looks good.
Was thinking the same damn thing, some people have zero taste.
Wow....how come you would be rude about the cabinets? With all the nice touches, you pick out something that is really a non-issue. If you notice, the cabinet doors you are referring to are not actually cabinet doors. They are wood. Not MDF. Kitchen cabinets are different material. That trailer is probably 40 yrs old. Looks great for a rental and the owner will make a great income over the years. You figure he spent less that $8000 TOTAL. Like he said... “pure profit” after the first year. Be positive people.
Thank you!
Rogue Life
Truth. Never liked that tawny brown color on cabinets. Doesn't look good in my opinion.
Just like to say thank you for investing in rentals their by increasing the price of rentals by compeating investors. Theres a special place for people like you.
Your welcome!
Good info. Congrats
I like that it's on isolated property and not in a trailer park
Missy AllThat That alone makes it worth the cost of admission.
Ppl are so rude maybe this was done on a budget it takes money and some ppl dont have as much as others. They like it thats all that matters
One thing is for sure, they will definitely be needing that deposit.
Exactly.
Realistic! Not all that number talk and idea bs most people post about
I thought this was a before picture, now knowing it a rental for that price and area it
nice.
All that work and not replace the heat vent covers on the floor? The egdes are sticking up so someone can rip their foot apart. Hmmmm.
Very nice and spacious! 💕
The tub in the Masters bedroom bothered me.... A lot.
Same.
Everything bothers you.
The damn commode should have been in that little recessed area near the sink, that way there would be complete open access to the tub/shower. That thing is configured assbackwards.
The correct spelling is renovations, just FYI. Because incorrect spelling is a lack of respect for the English language.
Its not bad. Id like something just like it for a hunting trailer. Not everyone needs a fancy place. Clean warm and dry will do the trick.
Enough to drive you insane during lockdown,such a depressing,soulless place
Lol. I don't mean to laugh but, that's funny.
Great looking home & your rent seems quite fair 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😉
Thank you!!
Can't believe people are complaining about $650.00 rent. I live outside a metro area and can rent out a my old mobile home for $900.00 granted the ground rent is $600.00 :-) BTW the renovation looks good!
i agree 600.00 is good try paying 1,200 &75 dollar late fee than complain.
BennysBenz ewwww
I love it...
you should invest more money in the kitchen make it more atractive ...is cute
I liked the kitchen. Nice sink. His wife did a nice job on it. Some people like wood counters, but formica is def. more sanitary for renters, esp!.
I think most that look at this, aren't thinking its a rental. Not a designer home. @@kgx29
Hey it works for people that rented ..
this is for the people that are complaining its not that easy or cheep to remodel a trailer trust me i should know i bought a trailer to remodel and it got pricey to fix it up theses people i think did a good job heck i wish i still had my trailer and they lived near me id have them remodel my trailer
Nice clean up. The outside of the home should be painted. Two inch blinds in the living room would have looked better. At least its fresh. 👍
Thank you! Yeah lots could be done for sure, but simple and fresh.
Very nice I did 1 also came out awesome
Good Congratulations to Both of you
You needed hardware on the cabinets and under the sink didn’t look well at all - kitchen is important to renters 💚
Wow that’s a lot for the renter to come up with for a trailer.
I think you did a great job on the renovation. Except the counter top. Rent at 650 and they have plywood as a counter top? Not nice. And the 2 cabinets facing the kitchen should have been white like the kitchen. The 2 facing the living room is ok with the stain. Great job on the bedroom floor and the bathroom.
Nice flip!
Ok not to bad ❤❤❤❤
In sc you have to have both porches to get your power on . I think at least 4 by 4 with steps and rails . Finish trim on all cabinets add back porch and steps . Good job will be a nice rental !
When replacing spongy old floors with OSB, it helps to paint the floor with a semi gloss paint to make it somewhat "water proof" when considering future leaky faucets and toilets. You may never have to replace the sub floor again.
You can't water proof it. Even if you paint OSB or plywood with a armor seal. If water sits on floor for even short period the wood will still bend, bow, and mold, weaken. I have had this happen more times than I care to count. It will slow the time it takes to ruin but if water leaks for months usually there's damages that has to be fixed. I usually put oil seal on flooring and use linoleum but often times I still run into renters that won't tell you when something needs fixed. A lot of good people out there and yes keep place clean but not good at thinking with common sense and you find its been leaking for 5 months...
Very nice💞
Seriously I thought this was the before. The front steps look dangerous.
Cute, and ur wise...... I would of finished the framing on kitchen cabinets and looked 4 a 2nd hood 4 the stove. I did a great job.
Nice Be Even better With Furniture
Nicely done. It California, a space like that would be much more expensive.
StephenNu9 there not in California. In Arkansas they are robbing people with that price and the way it looks. I would not rent that for no more the 350.
@@wasblind4835 Well, no. You can't get anything for 350 unless its trashed and holes are in the roof.
Was Blind
Agree!
@@wasblind4835that's why we call them landleeches.
it's sad the comments on this video because alot of people live in trailers like this. people need to realize not every family can afford a huge luxurious home I live in a single wide and I love it it's perfect for our family I posted a video of mine because I know others live in them as well but you barely see videos of them probably because the hateful comments they might receive . You did a great job not sure If I missed it in the video but what would you say was total cost to do repairs ? And what would a place like this rent for in this area ?
Btw I watched on silent because my kids are asleep so I didn't hear anything you said lol sorry
Nope nope nope! So many missed opportunities. Too many different toned woods & colors going on. Things look unfinished. It's a hodge podge of mismatched things.
If something looks cheap -people are less likely to take care of it. If it looks nice people tend to take pride in their homes and maybe pay a little extra for rent.
Agreed! I thought this was the before, before they did any work to it.
Agree but slumlords don’t understand this.
@@ilovejesus3659 I wouldnt call them slumlords, they sound young and was trying to do something, they just should had not cut those few corners.
Tracy Raia-dowd you’re jumping to collusion’s just using your own opinions...it’s a 1978 mobile home probably with a value of 3 grand....plus I have done apartments very nice to only have them trashed.
You got it exactly. 👍
The Mrs. did and AWESOME job with all the paint work... she needs to do a video of just that...
Looks good on the inside but I don't like all those trees around it to me that would be a major issue come storm season.
You might want to exchange the conventional water heater when it dies) with an on demand in-line water heater. Reduces space and saves electricity. Makes an attractive feature for renters.
great work keep up with your efforts it looks like it will pay off soon
That's great u only spent $1000 fixing it up. Plus rents usually only increase so as time goes by u will make even more
