- I can hardly believe it myself, but it actually happened. I bought my first ever piece of real estate. Out of all the crazy places in the world I could have bought my first home, it was here in Kiev, Ukraine (Kyiv). Here's the video tour of me visiting the property for the first time, as well as when I went back with my home inspector, plumber and electrician before finalizing the deal by putting an advance deposit with my lawyer and realtor.

And now, a city under siege, at the whim of a madman. I wonder where everyone in the video is, the realtor that helped Johnny, the people looking at his property. All happy prosperous people, now refugees or freedom fighters. Devastating. Breaks my heart to watch this knowing now what's happening. Glory to Ukraine.
Freedom is only a generation from extinction..
RULE #1: Do not invest in any country that is outside of NATO or close allies of the US (Japan, South Korea) if you don't want to live with the uncertainty of losing it all some day because a madman decides it.

In Australia, you can't even buy a parking spot, in Sydney, for $145,000.
@@mariahewitt9787 No, but in Bulgaria and Romania, possibly even Croatia on the Adriatic coast, you can buy luxury apartments or even build a house for that money. All of these countries are in the EU, all are protected by NATO and touching any of them means nuclear destruction of Russia.
@@braves9652 My comment was not meant as criticism of Johnny, just a sad recognition of the political and social realities of this world. Hell, I probably would have bought an apartment in Kyiv too, if I had the money. Ukraine is a lovely country with lovely people. Or at least it was and will probably will be again. But the sad reality is that the only real progress in the world today is happening under the protection of NATO or the USA directly. With only a few outliers such as Singapore or UAE.
Feels like a dream this video. Such nice people, peaceful city. They really didn't deserve the shit that they're in right now 😢
Such a lovely home. I sure hope it survives the invasion and you are able to live there after the dust settles.
could be many years from now
Probably a little sketchy with ruskies in rule and what’s left in the rubble sadly.
I do not think he needs the place. He simply ran away from Ukraine because I think he was a permanent resident and could have been subject to military conscription. He just hated to take someone's place in the army.
@@gregg3877 He's still a US citizen.
WHERE ARE YOU NOW? ARE U OKEY??
Hi my son congratulations- I like this apartment -when I first saw it I love it looks like a new house
Hello Johnny's Mom....although I've never met Johnny....been following him for the last year....
From what I can tell a great guy, son and someone I'm sure I'll meet up with at some point while I'm out vlogging as well.
I'm sure you are very proud.
Yeah was a great purchase, current value -$1.00 well done great investing skills lol
Best real estate investment ever. A very quiet neighborhood except for few explosions here and there I say.
Are you sure? Under war county
@@goldenhorn53 I guess you didn't get the sarcasm in my comment.
July 1945: I'm just putting a deposit on a condo in Nagasaki...it's been untouched by the war so far...looks like a bargain...
Awesome, Johnny! Congrats!!! Love the 12 foot ceilings!
It's a beautiful place and it is strongly built. Hope it survives. I can see that outside room full of plants, Himalayan bamboo etc.
It's a wistful process watching these videos of Kyiv. Good to see the city and the real people there. Best wishes to you.
I saw your new place that you sent a link for. Tou did well. I too like the brick work and your style. Congratulations.
Thank you very much!
Kinda weird going back through these old video's and seeing Johns place before it was Johns place
Congratulations, Jonny!
This is definitely the best apartment you have showed.
I am also interested to buy some real estate in Ukraine, because I have ukrainian roots and would like to spend more time in this country.
I also like the old classical buildings. It has a lot atmosphere and you can be sure its lasting for centuries.
Congratulations ! The property looks newly renovated and very beautiful
Hi Johnny! Congrats on your purchase. My biggest cause for paranoia would be the "empty dirt courtyard" outside , you can see that a building used to stand there, and usually what happens to those "empty areas" after a while is that a greedy construction company comes in and builds something, and trust me if it will then it won't be 3-4 stories. The biggest risk there (apart from having less light/a worse view outside) is that in order to achieve this they first dig up a huge pit, and the overall construction often causes other older buildings outside to develop cracks - better ask around your neighbors if they know anything about this and if they already have some sort of "court ban" in place to prevent this
The only thing in this apartment I would keep is the realtor.
I think it's a nice place, it doesn't matter how it looks. It's how you make a home.
wanna see so badly what it looks like in the end and congrats johnny
The backyard would be a good piece of property to build a tri plex single level apartments! Johnny! The American Dude!
I hope that when you return to Kyiv you will find the whole apartment safe
Awesome place you have Johnny! I’m new too your channel sending love from Orlando Florida USA ❤️
Can we get an update on your place? I hope it and all around are okay still
@@c.james1 thanks bud !
I'll be heading to Kiev sometime this summer. And if Kiev looks like a place I could see myself staying, then I'll definitely check things out with these people you worked with. They seemed great and professional.
It took a while to find a good team, but so far they're great. Details here: It's written here: www.johnnyfd.com/2021/04/why-i-bought-property-in-ukraine.html
How’d you go??
Marsha is a cutie. I hope she and the other Ukrainians in this video are safe.
isso envelheceu mal...
Praying that you, all of the people in this video, and your apartment are safe.
Congrats on the place!
These vlogs ended up as a nice guide on buying an apartment in Ukraine :)
If you'll be traveling west Ukraine, visit Lviv as a "cultural capital" of Ukraine.
Drop me a message for a tour!
You still alive? Would love a tour
@@K0J0K "still alive"? You mate should either watch some proper news, or try communicating better.
R.I.P
Congratulations Johnny! All the very best to new beginnings!
Good stuff man, glad it worked out for you! Yes it is a nice place!
Johnny, I just watched two of your videos where you were looking for apartments to buy in Kiev and Khakiv. What terrible bad luck for you. I hope your apartments remain intact. What a shock for you and all Ukrainians and the rest of the world.
It is a big thrill to buy your first home. May the new home bring you happy times in abundance.
What a difference a year makes geeze. Very sad situation now.
Kyiv nice city. Capital of Ukraine 🇺🇦. Like capital of UK London 🇬🇧 . And capital of Poland 🇵🇱 ❤ Warsaw. People of Ukraine didn't deserve it what they have now in their country. Old Polish soldier.
Godbless Poland 🇵🇱 ❤.
Godbless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏.
Godbless UK 🇬🇧.
Greetings from UK 🇬🇧.
Congrats on getting a great apartment that you like. Please share the furnishing process and result.
Thank you! Will do!
There's $145K flushed down the crapper. So it basically cost you about $24K a month to live there before you were forced out of it.
Thanks for the reminder. Very helpful!
R.I.P. worth dropped shortly after you signed..
How is the investment now?.....I hope you're building is safe and sound and the war is over soon
9:15 - I would not keep any of the furniture. I'd want to choose my own. But it depends on how much money you want to spend.
Congrats, Johnny! Great location! Right down the street from one of the best pizza places in Kyiv.))
I rented a flat on Baseina St. in 2015. I'm talking a walk down memory lane watching this.
Enjoyed watching your videos
Good luck the rest of the travels and hopefully you’ll get back to your apartment
Hi Johnny,
Slava Ukraine!!
My wife and I plan on visiting in the spring. Cindy (my wife) brought up the idea of buying a condo there in Kiev or Lviv. We will rent out our Portland condo for the time we're there. But maybe we will do like you, buy a condo for citizenship. Cindy really wants to connect with her grandparents legacy in Odessa.
Your thoughts?
Dean
100% rent out your Portland Condo while you travel, but don't rush into buying anything here yet. I'd recomend you wait until the end of the war, as rent is cheap now, and you can see how things go and how you feel here. Kyiv real estate is still expensive, but Odessa is super cheap.
@@JohnnyFD Thank you, Johnny!
We enjoy watching your videos!!
I agree that buying during Putin’s invasion is foolish.
Soon Victory for Ukraine 🇺🇦

That real estate agent is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope you kept in contact with her, Jonny.
Yeah she's a cutie. Thanks for reminding me to message her. 😚
Average girl in Kiev
@@jorgef1422 all the women in his videos seem to be fine
My congratulations Johnny. This is the best place when compared with previous places. What a nice choice. When will you all come to visit Sri Lanka. Don't forget the paradise. Wish you all the best and good health. Keep it up guys.
Jonney happy for you. Sri Lanka's loss is Ukraine's gain.
Sri Lanka should have given PR visa to you. You would have done a good job for our tourism
Nice Place Johnny! The wood furniture looks good, high quality.
Hi Sir ! I am very happy that I found your Chanel on TH-cam. I like your content !
I visited Kiev for 8 times. I was always living at Lesi Ukrainka 12. It is a very good district ! Enjoy !!!
So happy for you! You deserve it! 😀
Very happy for you Johnny, great job!
What’s there/left now?
I hope you can go back, and that its ok, or repairable. No guarantees in life - at least you had the experience, and you are alive. I hope your friends make it too...
Ukraine doesn't look very poor. Nice.
I am so happy for you. Congratulations.
Congratulations Johnny!! I love the ceiling and the wooden floor
Johnny CONGRATS! Best way to shop for a flat is via remote review. local agent will provide a NON BIASED review for a small fee.
I don't think anybody should be left out when going for digital assets
HEX is great for longterm APY.
Congrats, this location is AA+
Congratulations Johnny looking great place and house happy you got what you like.
Just curious what you are doing in Kiev ? I lived there for about 5 years and foreigners are basically dollar sign for them..so be careful..goodluck for your new endeavors
So happy for you man, be where it makes you happy.
Congratulation Johnny for your new life.
Hi Johny, congratulations! Nice place and great location. I am actully planning on selling mine so this came in just in time as price/value benchmark.
Perfect location,maybe litle bit noisy,but it is center,where you can just walk around.just great
Great video Johnny and congrats!
all gone now . what a sad situation for some million people . life upside down
Congratulations, you made a good investment !!!
Are you sure about that?
He sure did
Next week he's heading back to the USA on a ship owned by a mob called the White Star Line.
Are you kidding us? 75m square $115k. It is funny. This home shoud be max $75k. Since you are foreign, they sold it at that amazing amount.
you can not sell this home more than $80k
@@appadi4969 There come a sucker!
Congratulations Johnny!
Congratulations. But I did not understand it. why did you buy a flat in Ukraine?
It's written here: www.johnnyfd.com/2021/04/why-i-bought-property-in-ukraine.html
Good for you, Johnny!
place looks amazing, great location, tons of potential - also looks like an amazing team 🚀🚀🚀
Amazing. Happy here for you. Congratulations
Good luck with your new place try and keep some furniture if you can and no need rush into renovations for two reasons many builders are working in Poland etc also high ceiling may need extra heating
Very interesting and thanks for sharing 😀
Ceilings are soo high so good
Congrats brother!
Congratulations Jonny! Let it be a cosy home for you!!
The only thing Id be worried about if its staying or not would be that awesome picture of a bear laying on a log haha
Lost money and dreams. God bless you.. Bounce back when you can.
This did not age well. Sorry for your loss Johnny.
Masha, the realtor looks like Ana de Armas :)
crazy the value you get for your monney! congratulations.
greetings from France

I wonder if the appt is still there ?
The war is really terrible thing and unfortunately destroy all life for everybody especially who lives inside the war. On the other hand I'm really wondering what is gonna be to your apartment after the war? I mean for example when you want to take money back in some way to value of your property or when you wanna live there again what kind of process gonna be do?
congratulations Jonny, Personally I wouldn't keep the outdated furniture, and it would be practical to knock down the wall between the bathroom and the toilet room.
outdated furniture does not emit chamical fumes
Congratulations! Not my type house but its in a good area, after interior design it can look so great. This kinda houses make me depressed. I have no idea why :S I wonder if ur buying this house for investment. Btw real estate lady was so nice. She sounds like exactly like Lena :)
Congratulations Johnny,good decision..
It's central but that view isn't at all prefferable for this inflated price.
Does the apartment come with claymore mines? For when the russians come to use your apartment for a firing position?
We stayed at Shota Rustavelli just around the corner from your place and loved the location- restaurants , bars , shops and a short hop from the main Khreshchatyk area . Enjoy 😊
The term 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' comes to mind. Easy with hindsight , I guess.
Hello. I just discovered your Chanel and subscribed immediately. I am planning to purchase an apartment in Ukraine. Loved the one your purchased. Would you be able to recommend your realtor? Thank you! Anna
Hey, glad you enjoyed it. Her contact is: Masha Filimonova

Ukraine very beautiful people beautiful country 👍😎👍
Not my cup of tea, but if you are happy, congratulations and all the best. Does this mean you will be living here for a while, will you go back to the USA.
The real estate agent's soo cute..😊
Well done, see you were very carful about rushing in to buying, checking every thing out first.
I hope your property is still standing?
I have visited Kiev 3 nights, Odessa 1.5 weeks only at 5 star hotels, Kharkov 1 week and find Ukraine nice country and most of the developments of infrastructure had been done in 1940s, very old subways, trams, buses, factories. My younger mechanical and computer engineer brother had visited Ukraine 10 times, mostly stayed at airbnb , contemporary apartments of Lviv, Odessa, Kiev, Kharkov and 6 other Ukraine cities and enjoyed himself paying high prices at ukraine restaurants with ties and smokins. He had always returned back to Ankara single as he is against money paid interminglings unlike me 537 various paid and intermingled ladies with me and I am pork eater and orderer at restaurants.
Congrats Johnny..!!! All the best
Thick walls, built like a bunker and located in the backyard. Don't worry!
Could you add in your videos how much charges are for building upkeep service charges please
@@CanadianNomadBiker
By the looks of it none of those are estate agents but mere unnecessary middle men/woman ... very weird !!
prob not much ($5-$20 USD/month) but they still gonna charge him 4x
Congratulations Johnny!🎉
Ukraine is a beautiful country with friendly people.
