How did you guys finance the renovation? Loan or Cash?
It has mostly seperations and thus feels kind of closed inside walls, thought you might break some walls down and make it open feel but it comes with lots of extra work, anyway great job done, good deal, and mostly, satisfying
We usually finance but we did this one all cash.
We probably would have on a higher end project! Thanks for watching!
No vapor barrier before hanging sheetrock?
You bought a $5000 piece of land and it came with a free house lol
Just what I thought! Nice deal.
Yeah if u build enough money to flip the house and rent it out that's great
free house that nobody should live in even after renovation... this is disaster
@@e36fanatics why? there is nothing wrong with it after the reno. its safe, cozy and everything up to code.
It came with a house that should’ve been demolished so it really cost more than 5k

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months. I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.
I’m thinking of doing the same but not sure if I should use different brokerage accounts? Just Curious. Pros and cons ?
@@obodoaghahenry9297 Instead of using different brokerage accounts to purchase index funds or individual stock, compare your age(s) and how much time you have estimated till retirement, you can also opt to consulting/working with a fund manager/advisor for an “optimal strategy” to outperform the bear market.

I lived in a house that was built in the 40s and two of the three bedrooms had external doors with small, private porches. I was told that this would allow a woman whose husband was away at war to earn an income by renting out one or both of those rooms, while still maintaining her home and caring for her children. I loved being able to open the doors and windows to catch the breeze!
How interesting!
I just bought a house with a similar set up. You must be up north. I was wondering what those porches were for. Mines are in closed.

Louisianaian here...Yes, you paint porch ceilings blue to keep bugs/spiders/ wasps from building their webs and nests on your porch! It truly works-
I’d never heard that but will pass it on to family that just purchased a house. Good to know!
Any light color will do but "haint" blue is common in the South.
The Orkin man just told me that info. Thanks.

J Fuentes,
Aww! Hey, maybe y'alls bugs are smarter in Florida!😊
Fast forward 3 years and you were spot on about the rental market and taking advantage of low interest rates

I've been renovating a distressed property in Texas also. I've been spending a lot and sometimes feel there's no end in sight. Seeing your finished product give me a boost. Thank you
Considering what you started with, the end result is very nice. One thing I noticed about the bedrooms is the lack of storage. I did not notice a single closet. There were no dressers, either. The master is nice, but put a couple of dressers on and it will shrink very quickly. The kitchen is not a good layout at all. There is no room to work in it.
To those who keep saying “why didn’t they change the floor plan”, this is meant to be a rental property. Bedrooms sell!
Yes anything with a closet can be called a room in some states which equal long term renting from big 👪
People who rent are part of the colossally high rents
Not if you can’t function and feel good at $1100 bucks a month ! 🙄
3 bedrooms and no place to eat a meal...ya fuck that floor plan
You can keep the number of bedrooms but make the layout make sense….
Not only does the light blue on the porch ceiling help keep bugs away, the practice actually originates from Gullah folklore from the Lowcountry sea islands of South Carolina. The Gullah/Geechee people believe that painting the ceiling of your porch blue will help keep the Haints (evil spirits) from entering your home. The haints supposedly cannot cross over water and are fooled by the blue ceiling. This color blue is commonly referred to as “Haint Blue”, especially here in South Carolina and Georgia!
😨
Love the history!
i’m from & Currently live in South Carolina but i’ve never heard of that…. guess it’s true we learn something new everyday
@@zybennett9083
Yep! I don’t know where in SC you live, but if you drive around Charleston or any other city in the lowcountry tons of porch ceilings will be painted blue.
Interesting!! The beautiful city of Chefchaouen in Morocco is painted all light blue for similar reasons. I wonder if the origins, from hundreds of years ago are the same?
WOW! you guys did a fantastic job on that place. I noticed the video was posted in 2020 and I am very certain material prices are way much higher in 2022 which should offer more motivation to renovate older homes because by doing so you save bundles of money on the materials already in place such as the skeleton (frame) of the house. So long as the frame is not rotted or deteriorated by termites. Fantastic job guys.
Just casually binge watching your videos and clicked on this one because it looks like a house in my town…plot twist.. it is in my town! Love seeing Brownwood get some love! It really is inspiring for this small town!
This is a whole TV show. So good.
Definitely giving me tv show
Didn’t expect to see you here lol
Basically flip or flop
Probably has to do with the constant B-roll with narration and the 3-D renders of the house. Definitely gives of some HGTV vibes.
Oh look the gta 6 clickbaiter cant get any money from his youtube channel so now he is looking into real estate LOL
I don't get this comment section? He's a freaking real estate agent, they are SUPPOSE to talk a lot. And notice that's it's an HOUSE TOUR so again, THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO TALK. And he was going through what he was doing with the house.. 🤦🏾♀️

In spite of how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, there is already an excessive amount of demand waiting to absorb it, which is another reason it's less likely to happen that way. This forecast was not made in 2008, at least not by the general public, as I will explain below. The ownership rate peaked in 2004, according to the other statement. We reached a peak in the second quarter of 2020 and are currently at the median level. From 2008 to 2012, it fell by 3%, and in the second quarter of 2020, it dropped from 68 to 65.
Due to their familiarity with bull markets, the majority of people find it difficult to handle a decline, but if you know where to search and how to maneuver, you may make significant gains. Your entry and departure strategies will influence this.
We are not used to such uncertain markets, therefore the fact that the American stock market has been on its longest bull run ever makes the widespread anxiety and excitement comprehensible. There are possibilities if you know where to look, as you pointed out that it wasn't difficult for me to make over $780k in the previous 10 months. Given that I knew I would need a reliable plan to get through these challenging times, I engaged a portfolio adviser.
Because my portfolio has performed poorly for the whole year, I tried researching new ways to make money in the market, but everything I attempted just seemed to miss the target. Please provide us with your financial advisor's name.

I dont understand all the negatives. If this video isn't the info you're looking for then don't watch. The title said before and after and thats exactly what it was. They never claimed they were going to show a step by step. I thought this came out nice considering how the city was ready to tear it down 🤷♀️
i did not give a negative opinion i gave an honest opinion of what i was expecting to see. and a title as "before and after" is pretty vague. I did not expect it to be step by step but more of a quick overview of the steps. if it is even that
You should watch zombie house flipping ma'am.
Man $5,000?! Maybe $2,000, LOL. Negativity all the way baby! :-)
Thanks for watching Peter. Our audience is mostly female actually.
@@petersilva037 actually, its mostly women who watch their shows and most of the audience is not looking for info about technical stuff. Just because u do, doesnt mean majority does. (im sure they run the stats on who watches and for how long and analyze it frame by frame). there r plenty of channels on here for dudes to get their knowledge on about all the things u mentioned. they do a fun, easy on the eyes house design and mostly want ppl to sign up for their course (rightfully so). they give great stats at the end and those of us that subscribed love their energy and overall channel.
Great job, but I honestly don’t understand with so much of the house having to be rebuilt, why didn’t y’all knock down some walls and relocate certain things like the kitchen, and do more of an open concept instead of making the weird layout pretty?
Its because they are renting it and not selling it. They could have taken this house to the next level with a new layout but would have had to sacrifice a bedroom most likely. But with renting its all about the quantity of bedrooms. But personally i agree.
Cost. And time
More time consuming. If they rent it out faster, they will start to earn revenues sooner from this property and that’s all they care.
Or at least take out the door to the outside in the first bedroom...
And the crappiest furniture ever. And he said high end. Lol
One thing I want to say about renting a house; if you take the depreciation you must depreciated it for 27 1/2 years to full depreciation of asset. If you sell before that period, there is a depreciation recapture that reduces the cost basis of the house and that is usually taxed at 25%. So, investors need to be aware of this before deciding to take the depreciation expense.
Amazing flip! And good choice on the windows. The style is great and energy efficient is always good.
For all the geniuses yapping about the foundation here's a primer for you.
In Texas we get droughts regularly, 3 months of no rain at my house this summer is not even considered a drought...just normal. We have limestone and clay soil. When you have a concrete slab foundation and there's a drought guess what happens? The ground splits. You either spend a great deal of time and money (not to mention harming the environment) leaving a water hose running around the perimeter of your slab or in a few years you have a cracked, busted, heaving slab. I have seen beautiful, newer homes demolished because the slab was beyond repair. So the very intelligent builders a couple hundred years ago started using pier and beam which allows for shifting with no damage to the home. Those multiple stacks of "small tiles" are where a "foundation" leveler has gone in and jacked up the house incrementally. Those tiles are very easy to pull a few out or stick several in raising or lowering as needed. My current home is 98 years old and will need leveled within the next couple years, but it will cost me less than $1,000 and hasn't been done in almost 30 years. Just because you're not familiar with it doesn't make it wrong.
I live in Washington. My house is 100 years old with the same foundation. Most of the houses in my town are. We just had to level an addition. It's a totally valid foundation option. Some banks don't like it around here, but done right it's fine.
Do builders still use pier and beam or has modern building code prevented it? I am curious why they use slab now if it will crack.
@@apweaver3498 very much depends on the place and the builders. Post and pier is very much used across the nation, but codes vary by county and not all builders put in good foundations.
Thanks pretty interesting. I always wondered why houses were built to float on a few wooden beams. Unfortunately when natural disasters happen, either the house gets ripped out or floats away.
Interesting explanation to what had seemed odd to me. Very sensible! Thanks for sharing the knowledge :)
“It has been de-ghosted so that will add a lot of value to the house.” 😂 lol the best comment.
I came to the comments to find out if anyone asked how he did it. Is that even possible?
I'm curious as well
Houses do need to be de-ghosted. Not a joke.
@@juliedeane4327 How do you deghost a house ?
@@riquepr don't know about other religions, but islam has a ceremony to "de-ghost" homes, usually involves reciting some verses from the quran.
This was an absolute blast to watch! I can’t believe I haven’t stumbled upon you guys sooner thanks for sharing this rehab with us! I’m going to look into your training videos as my biggest dream is to get into real estate investing to free ourselves from the dreaded 9-5 life.
My dream too.
WOW! The transformation on this was amazeballs! Unbelievable! Cas
Neighborhood is my top consideration. I wouldn't live in that flashy house when all the neighbouring homes look like slums.
I was thinking the same thing. You become a target to burglars.
🎯
How do you know the neighboring houses look like slums? Windows are costly but probably the best investment for any property improvement
So, keep it crack house lookable :/?! K, got it 👍. Im just here to take up space. I have no clue about these things. Idk if ill ever get to a point of flipping when i havent even grasped the initial process of buying something to fix. 💁🏻♀️ I figure i can just hire individuals who fix for cheaper. Im sure those types are everywhere 🤔💡😋👍. I figure if i stay obsessed enough on these things, i surely make it. One way or another. Only until then, ill stop. Also, maybe if i go live in the middle of a forest, no one will care what i do for looks.

@@lealarsen2017 then this house would not be for you. I love what they did to it. I would have done it differently though.
Impressed by the lack of graffiti in a derelict house with no security.
The lack of curtains in the finished house did weird me out.
They never have curtains because it limits how much that comes in. I've noticed it in several TV shows.

@@st0911 Brainless comment. " ..it limits how much *light* that comes in .. " that would be true if the curtains are drawn. How does it limit the light coming in if they are open?
@@jovitavillalpando9127 yeh..right 🙄
It's fascinating to see how different design choices can completely transform a space. Well done!
Looks great! I would have loved to see a dinning room set up on the other side of the living room.
Yes me too!!! I wish they would have at least put the console they put in the kitchen over in that big blank space. And they could have put a taller shelf where they put the console at or a small bistro set.
I have spacing issues. I think I could have figured out a dining table spot
why didnt they put a dining table in that other space next to the front door
Maybe they were gonna let the people who rented it buy the table
Agreed it needed a table and chairs, if you’re going to stage do it right!
My question is where is the fridge gonna go?? 🤔
And the closets?
@@laurasimmer9612 the fridge is probably built in that long cabinet to the left or you can place it to the right at the end
“Just so you know, we’ve officially de-ghosted this house….. so that’s gonna add a lot of value.” I laughed out loud on the toilet.
I laughed out loud too but I was in my bed, that's my favourite part of the video 😂
So funny i think
I have the same vanity in my house looks great for the price also 5000 for a house you can't go wrong not really a house but with renovations well worth it nice transformation
Man I love watching these house transformations
Nice Job! Good luck with the flooring, I put the exact same stuff in my entire house and it didn’t even last a year. I purchased it because it was highly pushed as “life proof” and 100% guaranteed. When the edges started peeling and lifting I filed a claim with them but they denied it stating the warranty was null and void because in one area of my house there was a 1/4 inch grade variation over a six foot span.
Buyer beware and don’t be fooled! Read the fine print and you will see that they have written it so they will never have to honor the warranty.
feel like that one "bedroom" off the kitchen was actually a dining or living room originally, which would make walking through it to get to the other bedroom a less awkward layout decision.
I feel like the kitchen needs more things such as backsplash as it helps to easily wipe spills, grease and other things vs just drywall. Also hardware hulls on the cabinets will help them stay white and clean longer vs no hardware. Also I would’ve chosen a white countertop vs black because it would show less dirt and streaks. Other than that I think the house looks great.
I agree with all that!
Where’s the dining room?
What about… a fridge
@@breeze3402 could put a table on opposite side of living room. that would be pretty normal for a small house like this. I lived in a 2bed 1bath in texas, smaller than this, and that's what I did...dining table in same room as my couches
@@tbmusician in some areas of the US, fridges are standard provided. In other places, appliances like fridge, washer, dryer move with you. There was a space between counter and door for a fridge to be installed
You did it without changing the original look I love it well done. House doesn't look that big from outside and my size house so cute nothing to fancy perfect I would live there it's so cute I hope renters take care of it
I wish they wouldve closed off the door in the room. I wouldnt feel safe, personally. 😭😭 but everything else came out so beautiful
cute house but no counter space, creepy door in back bedroom, no refrigerator or dishwasher, no closets (I didn't notice any), cheap looking bathrooms and every time someone move out everything will need to be replaced. You guys could have design the house to have a larger kitchen plan with counter space and cabinets along with a linen closet. A house without any storage is just a box with windows.
THANK U!
Exactly!
Build in fridge left of the stove, I think
Eddit: You see those allot in Europe, so it blends in with the cabinets
ThaWord looks more like a pantry. Theirs room for a small fridge to the right of the sink. Don’t think I would put a table in the kitchen. Their is plenty of space for a small one in the living room!
@@Word187 IDK about that. I've always heard that a fridge is way more efficient when it's not placed beside a hot oven.
Love the house. Great job. A few comments. Add a fence around house. Take the door to outside out of bedroom. Stage a small dining area across from living room.
I love that you brought this little place back to life instead of a tear down and rebuild. Very cute home.
It’s a cute little house, but having to renovate the entire house, I would’ve done more open concept and not spend so much money adding walls, windows, etc. And the staging was awful. Hire me to do the staging the next time!
Totally agree. A more open living room would add so much to this house.
And the exterior looked better before. Just needed some refreshing.
You'll do it cheape?
if you were than successful you wouldnt be on a youtube video critiquing other douchebags
The living room furniture was way too big for the room. It made the space feel really small. I think instead of a bedroom in the front of the house, it would have made more sense to put the kitchen there and keep all the bedrooms in the back. As a rental it would probably work but people will be forever saying...Why didn't they do this...or why is that there....?
My only expertise is a few remodels on my own home and about 500,000 hours of watching HGTV. I will humbly defer to those that have flipped in real life. Thank you.
You guys honestly did an amazing job for a home that’s being rented out. Of course it’s not going to be a luxe home but it’s sustainable and livable. I see so many rentals that are absolutely disgusting and sometimes they’re bigger than this one that you guys worked on, but the cozy feel and that fact that everything works, isn’t broken, has actually nice + genuine landlords is amazing. It’s exactly what somebody needs.
Thanks! ♥️
Amazing the transformation! I'm always for saving a home that has good bones, but even I was cringing at the level of rehab needed, lol. Here in Oregon, the labor costs would've probably been too high to even consider it, vs doing a tear down and new home.

Aww thank you!
Yeah and people should stop being so negative about them in the comments, it's their decision how they fix the house, and they are the ones actually doing the work so people should just let them make their own decisions without hating on them
Nice light-colored and sturdy roof! We painted our dark brown metal roof a nice light gray and it makes a HUGE difference in our summers.
Hahaha I laughed when you mentioned the green screen, literally my thoughts too 😁
Hahaha and the cat crime, this was just hilarious!
Yes, the color is called "haint blue" in Louisiana and some of the Gulf states. According to studies, gnats and mosquitos are less active and do not swarm when surrounded by haint blue. It actually does keep the bugs away at dusk, when they are typically most active. Doesn't do much the rest of the time and certainly nothing at night. It is only a gentle hint, however. I still recommend planting the porch with a shoo-fly plant and burning citronella candles.
Whoa! Thank you! Knowledge bomb! 💣 🤯
@@AustinFlipsters Thanks for asking that question. @Linda Grace Thanks for answering that question. I'm from New Orleans. I was thinking about painting my porch and trim that color. I forgot the color name. I first heard of it while taking a digital design class.
They used the blue a lot in post Soviet Union countries and Russia
We used to have blue kitchens in the past in Norway to keep the bugs away from the food. In the times before the refrigerator came in the 1950s this was sought after.
The haint in “Haint blue” referring to “haints” or ghost is a color used on porches initially within African American communities like the Gullah/Gechee to keep away spirits. Now they say it’s used to keep away bugs. Lol

Cutaways and cat pictures aside, this video is the perfect house flipper story. There is no shortage of stories of off grid or fringe properties being constructed or renovated, but what I personally find more alluring are stories of unloved, lowly valued properties that exist within city or suburban limits, receive an overhaul and return to the world of homeowners and renters. Not only did Austin Flipsters take a neglected property within the limits of society and make it livable again, but they also described the process in such as a way that I felt emotionally invested. I wanted the house to be loved again. Even the expense report and the potential cash flow analysis add character to the property. Thankfully, the video does not end with a cliffhanger. Rather, the house will operate as a rental property for the foreseeable future. Either way, I hope there are more videos of neglected urban and suburban homes reborn.
I’d be rich if I got $1000 for every time he said literally 😂
It’s kinda repetitive talking
Nice job! However, I would have switched the kitchen and the front bedroom and knocked out the wall between that room and the living room. Much larger kitchen. Open concept. Room for an island.
Also, Lincoln - you're the most hilarious. I love everything that comes out of your mouth. :D
That's what I was thinking too
That's a lot more expensive though
@@jubmelahtes Maybe, maybe not. The house has already been demoed when they bought it. They had to lift the house up to level it, which would have meant they would have to do the piping over anyway. Most people nowadays like the open concept so it might turn out to be a win win situation.
What a GREAT IDEA!
I thought they were going to. Spoiler!
I love what you've created with this property. Just awesome 👌
Looks absolutely beautiful! Great job 👏
I feel like every room in the house has a door to the outside. 🤣🤣
you gotta escape quickly or the cat lady gonna get you
That would be awesome, never seen a house with an outside door to every room.
The master bedroom looks like a porche with a bed in it.
@@issuesster LMAO
@@issuesster hehe 🐱
This man brings so much to this video with just his words. “It’s tore up from the floor up” 😂
Hello Patricia how are you doing!!
@@larrybill2661 I’m doing awesome! It’s so cool of you to reply to my comment! 🥺
@@patriciaparker2504 Thank about that Patricia
@@patriciaparker2504 It my pleasure having you as a friend and where are you from?
@@patriciaparker2504 Hello Patricia how was your day going over there hope you had a nice and wonderful day over there?
Turned out great! I’m sure someone already said this in the comments but some blue porch ceiling folklore is that it keeps out the evil spirits. I head that a lot when I lived in New Orleans and I hear the same thing about the blue doors here in Santa Fe.
😳 y’all did amazing! I really love these videos because it shows you that a little vision can go a longgggg way!
VERY NICE! Can you actually list the master bedroom as a bedroom, since there's no closet? It looks more like a sun room.
Check out our sun bathroom!!
That apple green in the kitchen was very popular in the 70's. I used it, lol. It was considered then "Bohemian." It was seen a lot of places. I cringe when people make fun of old houses.....lives were lived there. It mattered to someone. You did a fabulous job "rehabilitating" this house. More happy memories can be made there.....
That same color was in my older house when we moved in. I feel like “modern” white is going to eventually be made fun of like the green color is now lol
@@monicarenee7949 "modern white" is in my grandmother's house (mother's side) built in 1928, and remains elegant and beautiful to this day
aqua green and salmon pink is in my other grandmother's house (father's side) built in the 1950's, and is tasteless dated and ugly
some styles and colours are timeless, others belong in the landfill
pls, it was hideous
Bad taste is bad taste and painting you house blue, green, yellow or red on the inside or out, is really bad taste.
@@monicarenee7949 White will never be made fun of because it is a neutral color. It' like blue jeans and T-Shirts. It will never go out of style.
This was like the most funny house renovation I’ve ever seen. I completely lost it at the detective kitten case
People: "Wow, it's so cheap!"
People's Mind: "Here's your wake up call- you still can't afford that."
People can afford that anybody can. The fact is is who the hell wants to live in Brownwood.
i mean, they said they could list it at $120k. that's damn cheap for a remodeled house anywhere in the USA.
@@nofurtherwest3474 Yeah, and I'm sure that price tag makes it way above the market value for that area. Like, yeah... you can go to the ghetto and buy a $5-10k house, but if your remodeling puts it at +$100k, no one's gonna pay that much for a house that's still in "the hood," regardless of how nice it is.
@@DarthMohammedRules True. i'm surprised it was that cheap just 2 hrs from Austin. I wonder if prices will eventually rise there as things spread from Austin. Hmmm may be a good place to invest? Or is Texas just too big, ie there is a ton of supply of land houses outside of the big cities so prices just won't rise. Too much supply and no demand in these towns?
@@nofurtherwest3474 I feel like texas is too big, if the urban areas and suburbs get big enough flow to start to fill out these boonies, then maybe.
The person who designed the layout should be fired. That kitchen is awful. Seriously. Putting the sink half in front of a window and half with the corner of the cabinet practically hitting you in the face? Terrible.
You could have changed a lot more to make it a space in which someone would actually want to live. I really cannot see you getting the ROI from it as a rental.
Yeah agree with u ..
And where is the fridge.??
Agree. For what they spent renovating I would have moved the window over.
yeah if the wall was opened anyway and probably was for plumbing another few hours and could have moved that window opening.
I think she was right in saying the space was awkward but they did the best they could. Without moving internal walls (medium hassle), or moving the window (large hassle) I think what they did was a pretty good solution. and if you don't think people can get a good ROI with owning property and having rent cover the mortgage and stuff you're crazy.
I love how simple and cozy it is now. Beautiful work!
I love the old houses, the high ceilings, big rooms!! They are the best!
Me looking at $5K on my savings account like: 👁👄👁
You can do it!
Yeah pay $5,000 plus $90,000 back for the bank lone. $5,000 is better in the bank for you now with the virus still about, you need it.
@serendipidus1 Can I inquire why you're such a DEBBIE DOWNER? IF you don't like channels such as this MOVE ON....no one FORCED you to comment here did they? Of course not.
@serendipidus1 buy it for 5k re-sell it for 10k? 🤔
Austin Flipsters Care to respond to all the other people not kissing your butt??
I love the editing. It’s like a tv show
Turned out great good job, especially thank you for the break down with the numbers at the end✌🏾
It really turn out beautiful.
I could never imagine it looking so good.
Good job
We agree! Check out our remodel too!!
Digging out a piece of history. The old sidewalk was cool.
Being southern European and seeing a house stand on wooden blocks (or whatever they're called) made me feel a little.... Uhhhh.... Let's hope it doesn't get windy.... But other than that cute renovation!!!! And these two have great chemistry!!!! Nice job!
It’s Texas. The last thing they have is wind
Hah! Wind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 💨
@@jadebear0717 ever been to Dallas? They have hard wind and tornadoes there all the time.
@@theguy9234 we don’t have tornadoes in Dallas but the surrounding areas. Also pipi how does the houses look in Southern Europe?
The great big windmill turbines might help you understand there's lots of wind in Texas. There are also many pier & beam foundation homes.
Watching this video a year later, the foreshadowing of our current inflation situation was spot on. Great video.
Nailed it
“It’s tore up from the floor up like me on a Saturday night” if I didn’t love this channel before I definitely love it now!
This house is mostly eye candy, until you go inside. I understand keeping it basic for renters, but the kitchen sink is divided by a window and a cabinet....😒😒😒
Considering all the windows were replaced, it could've been centered over the sink. Someone's going to hit their head on the corner of that cabinet.
Hahahaha there is a cabinet on top of my sink and of course I’ve hit my head several times! You are 100% right
I'm an interior consultant. And in school I specifically remember that the dishwasher goes beside the sink and if you have cabinets at all then its nice having them above the sink to easily just put the cups and plates away. I'd much rather have the window above just a bench. So I can look out while making food or open the window to the terrace and serve food through it for guests.
But I guess thats mostly just a culture thing. But I definitely agree that the sink shouldn't be centered in between.
@@TheLucila123 Hahahaha Me too!There's one above me, RIGHT NEXT to the stove, in the corner🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️I got tired of bumping my head on it so I cut a slit in a pool noodle and slid it right on. It hugs the bottom edge of the cabinet well😄!
It’s all about the numbers. If rent is low, you lose money doing all the extras🤷🏻♀️
Since they had the walls knocked out and replaced all the windows, it would have been better to have a cabinet where the window is and move the window at the end of that cabinet about halfway down the countertop with a sink centered on it. Literally no more than $100 in lumber to move that window. And as a renter, I'd hate to have to buy all the curtains needed for that master bedroom. I hope it isn't on the south side of the home because you'd be baking in the summer sunshine.
It looks better definitely, but the Master bedroom looks like a closed in porch with all the windows for the neighborhood to stare at you. Lol. I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping there. Just saying.
boy wait until i tell you about these things called curtains!
@@treasurehollis8040 let me tell you about cats moving them
By the way I have drapes in front of my large picture window and a sofa in front of it and I still have to pin them together in the middle to keep the neighbors from peeking in and they are lined too!
Not everyone loves living in a cave. 😉
@@bethanyfern6869 don't have to if the windows are higher up, not glass patio . Also, real easy for somebody to break in. Hey, if you like it, you live there, it's a matter of choice.
“Tore up from the floor up you know just like me on a Saturday night”. Iconic quote
I lve in Brownwood you did them a favor with this house! this place has so many dilapidated houses please come back and fix a few more ❤ awesome job!
Hey that was my dads house!!! He sold you guys the house!! That’s crazy! Great to see it remodeled!
So what's the story behind the cats on the wall? ;)
nsejita Great question! So they were there since we bought the house a couple years ago! The next door neighbor fed them! And there was an old lady that was super sweet that lived at the end of the street, kind of to the right of this house! And she was lonely so she told us she would feed them, but she recently passed away! So there’s a lot of grown folks who like to take care of them! My dad had tried to get them to leave because he was going to remodel the house! But they stayed 👆🏻
Javier Castro what

Way cool!! This was awesome to see! I would love to do something like this with my husband. The transformation in this house was incredible! It’s beautiful!!
Super wow, what a difference and nice colors.
Peace Love Happiness Kindness To you and your family and your team! Great work.
God Bless 💪✌️🫶🌞🕊
That's AMAZING WORK!
I’ve never lived anywhere that you could level an entire house on cinder blocks.
they had wood blocks (basically big shims) it looks like.
That might have been a temporary part of leveling the house.
@@kippen64 Nope. That's how it's done down south. It's all about air circulation:) My house is on brick piers.
It's a pier & beam foundation but I've only lived in homes with concrete foundations.
It's so common in the South. Coming from up North with foundations, I found it super sketchy for the longest time lol
Lowkey feels like when I bought my home.. everyone said it needed demolished.. and now I am happily living in it!! It's also my most viewed youtube video!
Hey guys I love the house. You kept it simple yet classy.. I just bought a 2300 soft Church in Virginia on 1/4 acre for $60,000.
I plan to make a house out of it. The Church is in excellent condition and hardwood floors are simply beautiful. And it has a kitchen with two bathrooms next to each other so not sure what to do.. move one bathroom to be between the two offices which could already be two bedrooms. I bought it because of how well maintained this old church has been through the years by the church members.. so would not be as much work as if a total renovation. Just needs a few walls added. The heating and cooling looks brand new and I can hardly wait to ring the steeple bell. I love to watch what you do to these flips, thank you. I think I will make a before and after video out of the church.
I absolutely love this I would live in it, the only thing I would change though is putting a small dining table where the open area is near the front door :)
Opening it up and putting the laundry room next to that back door makes way more sense. This is the cost of not having the designer do a walk thru before starting work. The neighborhood looks sketchy and a fence around the yard would have been a good investment. I can't see you guys getting back the investment in this one.
Nice comment dear 👍🏼....... Where are you from ?
