I would've picked number 2. It was beautiful and while the counters weren't in granite or quartz, they were in a good state and clean looking. I mean, the place wasn't a dump that needed to be fixed right away! They say it's a project but I disagree. I would live in this place without doing any work and be perfectly happy. Then perhaps I would change the counters and renovate the bathroom 5 to 10 years later when I have more money aside.
He's cute. Aside from that, I don't understand why unmarried couples would ever invest in property together. That's A HUGE MISTAKE. I know people who dated for years, moved in and lived together for a few more years, then broke up. They fought about who bought what, who was taking this item, that item, etc. Thankfully, it didn't end up in court. Granted, getting married is a risk, but at least with marriage comes established laws about property distribution if divorce comes into the picture.
Agreed. It looks like a great place, but why the renovations right away? Especially after going over budget and that bathroom was really nice beforehand. He seemed to have more financial sense than she did, but he completely caved in about the budget and about the renovations. They are also not accounting for the four-year property tax increase that The City of Chicago initiated in 2016 as part of a planned four-year property tax increase. There actually was a 10% property tax increase in 2017 alone, ouch. (not to mention the cost of a Chicago wedding. That's another $50K easy). I wish I had that kinda money, congrats to them though.
Yup I totally agree. They could've gotten something way better at their budget if they kept on looking in some other areas on the north side. While the rooftop deck was nice, that unit seemed narrow and small. And yikes that place in Bridgeport was ugly as hell.
I was thinking the same thing. She looks like she is with him because there isn't anything better. I bet 5$ she had a brief relationship with someone else in these 3 months between them seeing each other for the first time and when they decided to be a couple. She dated someone else but he was probably a big prick so she thought "Oh, well, at least this guy is being nice to me". But she will jump in the arms of the next charming guy.
Why do so many couples on this show seem so pretentious? Getting upset that the bathroom didn't have two sinks? Then they keep cutting the places down and saying they all need charm or renovated. Their off their rockers. WTF! So then the place that they do buy they rip out a beautiful bathroom that most people would envy... these people are just yuck!
I really like the penthouse. It's a really cool building. And the good news is that the couple that moved into it after these two broke up and he was almost driven to drink by his gf will enjoy a brand new bathroom for no freaking reason other than her not liking the tile color. So really it's a win-win for everyone.
They chose the property that is EMPTY. This is all staged. The episode is shot after the new home is bought. The other two options are fake. Some are not even for sale.
No matter how ugly it is.. if that was the only choice then you'll be stock into it. Many buyers could only wish but if it is the only available house then that's it. Love it, embrace it! Live with it. 😃😃😃😃
I think the roof top deck made their choice. They compromised without a 3rd room for office space. They were way over budget, but I think they wanted to be near all the action. I like the way the guy expressed his thoughts. Excellent observations. I like the 3rd Condo/but no outdoor space.
I would have picked the second house, updated it, and built up the deck to add more privacy, maybe adding a sort of noise cancellation effect to lessen the train noise.
she's a gold digger, gives no crap about the guy, like who says it took three months for me to even like him, it's like she was forcing herself to like him.....lmaooo
Diane Big yes I'm 5min in and had to check the comments to see if it was just me picking up on her condescending remarks to him, like I think she "settled" lol
Dee Bell Yes. And hell is the consequence to a sinners choice. The Bible ( Jesus ) says, marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled ( not dirty for the married ), but the FORNICATOR AND ADULTERER God will judge. God is the potter and YOU are the clay. The clay cant tell the potter how to mold and make you
I don't know - this couple seemed to have their priorities all in the wrong places - all on the superficialities - the surfaces. What about the long term investment value, structural issues, home owners association (or whatever it is in Chicago). Their head was more on what colour tiles they absolutely had to have rather than does the plumbing work in this building and who maintains it ... and that's before they got to the mortgage on this over budget property.
Ewww Chicago sucks I used to live in Chicago and it’s dreadful because the people are uneducated and the weather sucks now, I live in South Florida and it’s 100% better because the people are nice they are very smart there are less neighborhoods and more gated community’s and the weather is 80 degrees everyday and when it’s cold it’s 70 degrees I love it!
tbh i liked her a lot more than him. I think she made sensible comments in terms of what they're looking for, and he always made snipy comments back at her
What is the big deal with the trains? Oh no, the trains!!! LOL... When they were outside, I didn't even hear them on the video so unless they edited out the noise, it's a stupid thing to whine about. I lived not far from an airport at one point. There were times the planes would go over and were so low and so loud if you were on the phone, you would have to wait until the plane passed so you could finish your conversation but even then it wasn't such a horrible thing that I was in a panic about it and needed to move. Some of these complaints are just silly.
I feel sorry for him. He seems so nice and into her, can’t say she feels the same about him.
Beverly Huttinger you're in every comment saying the same shit. We get it
sheisaquarius..........😅😄😃😂😁😀😃😄😅😃😂😁😄😅😃

Beverly Huttinger who hurt you
Malika Bala its the truth tho 😒
Totally agree
This was horrible. They went way over budget, didn't get what they wanted, and then did renovations that actually didn't need to be done right away

Exactly! Not a wise move to choose that house
I feel sorry for him. She wanted to do the projects yet it looks like he's the one doing most of it.
All that tile and the countertops looked brand new! Why change them right away.....it’s not like they are not livable that way......
I'm just waiting for that realtor to go into labor.
They seem like they hate each other’s guts. I would reconsider purchasing before marriage
Is it me or does every young couple in Chicago that goes on this show seem like the same people?
Of all the great places in Chicago I would have kept searching.
I wasn't impressed with any of the places they viewed. There's definitely better in Chicago within their budget.
Yup I totally agree. They could've gotten something way better at their budget if they kept on looking in some other areas on the north side. While the rooftop deck was nice, that unit seemed narrow and small. And yikes that place in Bridgeport was ugly as hell.
Wow she doesn't seem that into him as he is into her. This won't last long.
I was thinking the same thing. She looks like she is with him because there isn't anything better. I bet 5$ she had a brief relationship with someone else in these 3 months between them seeing each other for the first time and when they decided to be a couple.

It's just something about her that's not right. He seems like such a nice guy. Wonder what his family thinks of her. Smh

If you want to learn what houses they'll select just choose the one they try to make you believe they don't want....And BINGO!!!
Digby Dooright Is that only in the west coast?

your video is great, thank you
@19:45 => his face = "I'm hurting so much inside right now but I need to smile for the camera."
No matter how ugly it is.. if that was the only choice then you'll be stock into it. Many buyers could only wish but if it is the only available house then that's it. Love it, embrace it! Live with it. 😃😃😃😃
He could be related to the property brothers lol
Kelsi' Taylor I was thinking that he looks a lot like Jonathan and Drew.
He looks like an Indian Ross Gellar

Nice looking couple...wishing them all the best!
He’s voice sounds so much like one of the guys on Property Brothers!
she's a gold digger, gives no crap about the guy, like who says it took three months for me to even like him, it's like she was forcing herself to like him.....lmaooo
CHICAGOOOOOOOO CHICAGOOOOOOOO ITS A CITY THATS EXCITING ITS A CITY THATS INVITING ITS A CITY FOR A WOMAN JUST LIKE ME
mophead I sang it just like she did 😭😭😹😹😹
mophead now its stuck in my head! 😹
Is it just me, or do any of you sense some tension between these 2? She seems a little tense and maybe even rigid to me.
Diane Big yes I'm 5min in and had to check the comments to see if it was just me picking up on her condescending remarks to him, like I think she "settled" lol
The title of this video reminded me of a song by Leon Russell, "Sweet Home Chicago".
"Making pocket joints for the tables".......his voice went really high when answering her......lol.
the led lights belong in a bar🤣
That place looked traditional but they were trying to make it modern. It wasn't a successful combination of the two styles.
Why rip out a perfectly good bathroom? Spendthrifts!
Shacking no marriage = not happy
Not always the case, you can be married and not happy lol.
I bet good money it was her choice.
Dee Bell Yes. And hell is the consequence to a sinners choice.
The Bible ( Jesus ) says, marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled ( not dirty for the married ), but the FORNICATOR AND ADULTERER God will judge. God is the potter and YOU are the clay. The clay cant tell the potter how to mold and make you
that roof top is so romantic
So... Y'all ain't married but you're buying a house together? Shacking up much? Kmt
BIG MISTAKE!
500k for a two bed is absurd
Chicago is crazy expensive. 500k gets you a mini mansion in Nevada.
500k in NYC gets you a closet. Hell, there was an abandoned house a block away from me that sold for 700k...mind you, I'm not even in Manhattan.
Jeremy Esters 500k in south Texas gets you a 3500 square foot mansion lmao
If tgey moved 40 min outside of a Chicago they could get 3000 sq ft house with half an acre
She's so negative. This dude gotta run while he can. She just wants his money.
She is a nurse manager. He is a student. He is using her for money.
I am no expert but their house choice is NOT IT. They don’t have any chemistry it’s a mess... she is all about herself...
He's Indian.Diptiman is an Indian, Bengali name.
I don't know - this couple seemed to have their priorities all in the wrong places - all on the superficialities - the surfaces.

Hard to believe 400k don't buy much in Chicago
452K but no wedding? um...
Why did their real estate agent take them to the worst neighborhoods in Chicago? Who moves to Bridgeport?
Ewww Chicago sucks I used to live in Chicago and it’s dreadful because the people are uneducated and the weather sucks now, I live in South Florida and it’s 100% better because the people are nice they are very smart there are less neighborhoods and more gated community’s and the weather is 80 degrees everyday and when it’s cold it’s 70 degrees I love it!
She left Arizona for Chicago 😳
good morning noe 01/02/2018
Neil is cute
Why does the realtor seems to be talking to the girlfriend only. She gives her more eye contact..hmmm
Armelle Desi cause she knows the guy will eventually give in to his gf. N gf seems to be wearing the pants.
@16:28 - "You disappoint me."
I'd never move to Chicago...too much crime and TOO DAMN COLD. I would have stayed in the desert...
Shezza Sparkle Then you don't know Chicago very well because all of Chicago is not crime infested.
PandasDontShare maybe...but it's COLD...even if there are decent areas...if y'all need to have heated side walks...we have a problem...lol.
She’s just not into him. And she puts him down too
look like its really very very popular in US to do tooth whitening:)?
complaining and complaining. That's what these guys are doing. They want it all but dont want to compromise.
The husband is very cute and put together, as for the wife....eh :/
So glad I don't live in Chicago
I like home #3!!!
RAE!RAE! you complain too danm much
Harsh😂😂😂😂😂
Never a good idea to make major purchases with a boyfriend/girlfriend
These guys are very irritating
tbh i liked her a lot more than him. I think she made sensible comments in terms of what they're looking for, and he always made snipy comments back at her
I didn't like any of the homes
What is the big deal with the trains? Oh no, the trains!!! LOL... When they were outside, I didn't even hear them on the video so unless they edited out the noise, it's a stupid thing to whine about.
