Thanks Elisa for sharing the great details as usual. I bet that yard added a good amount to the budget. I had a house sit for 3 months before finally getting an offer from July to October, and took a nearly 0 margin, so I feel your pain. Thanks for being honest on the channel too and not presenting it like it’s always easy
Everyone is going to throw in their two cents, and try and tell you what you should have done different ! You did a Fabulous job on your flip house !!! It looks totally up to date and refreshingly modern !!! I don't think you could have done anything better than what you did ! The house looks spectacular !!! The fact that it didn't sell immediately like you are used to, has nothing to do with your decision to fix this house up, it's just the market ! No one wins all the time, it's part of life and to be expected !!! You are doing a phenomenal job, keep it up !!! Times are difficult on everyone right now, we just need to roll with the punches !!! It will sell to a very happy family !!! 😃
Some plants take decades to look nice. I hate that they all get removed. Newly planted yards look sparse and ugly. If a buyer knows little about plants one might not appreciate what has been done. Nice yard though I loved the rose bush though shame it's gone now.
Why not link to where the home is listed on your video? Your video has engaged with 62k people in 9 days, surely some of those people are potential buyers.
One change I would suggest is adding a border of river rock to keep the mulch from spilling out onto the concrete. It's a tiny little thing but it draws the buyer's eye to the sidewalk instead of the beautiful front door you have chosen.
I love everything. The only think I don't agree with is removing the coat closet. The coat closet is typically also used to store the vacuum cleaner, broom, and other larger household items... not just coats. The only place is I see that now, is all the way in the basement laundry room. I've literally not bought houses because of lack of storage like this.
I think this is an interest rate driven problem. The work is impeccable, and very tasty. The problem is that the Fed is making cash tight and expensive at the moment.
Why did the Fed raise rates? Because of inflation. Why do we have inflation? Because of Biden and Democrats excessive spending. I’ve been in the mortgage industry for over 30 years. I predicated this would all happen when Biden was elected president. I sold my home in June last year at the peak of the market. We can expect continue rate increases, falling home prices and a recession in 2023.
What shame 😢. This is one of my favorites houses you’ve renovated. I hope it works out and you can sell for a profit next year. P.S. I love the black and white exterior. Fits the house so well
😳 WUT?! This is post-war era. Soothing and warm earth-tones. Easy on the eyes, solid wood, brass and brick. Smooth, classic, 1960's classic. You guys have ZERO respect for American craftsmanship and architecture. Go buy a NEW house, and let us ENJOY original and historic architecture, PLEASE! 😡
I would like to point out the mulch just spilling everywhere and the outside is what ppl see first. Over here in missouri there are plenty of houses now. In 2018 we could barely get one and settle for one that nobody wanted . Now there are too many and no one buying. You could get a 100k house back then and is now 200k is ridiculous.
Just saw your video for the first time. Lovely home. It would have been nice to see you report what your purchase price was, renovation cost and sale price. Also the city or area the home is located in. I love watching house flips on tv. Keep up the good work!
Every flipped house I looked at when buying couldn't pass the inspection without major red flags. All the paint in the world will not hide HVAC, plumbing, termite, and foundation issues. When I estimated what it would cost to "fix" the flip, it would have been 59% of the sale price, higher on some. I spent probably $2000 on inspections before I found one I could "afford" to take on.
It's a really nice flip but the market is really difficult. I am renovating an apartament right now in Germany and will just rent it out. The rents went up since the Ukraine crisis and it is not worth it to put it on the market now.
lol, you can gold plate that house and it won't matter. Interest rate so high that you need to make 250k-300K a year to be able to get a loan from the bank for a house in the bay area. Other than cash buyers, you're out of luck for the next 8 months.
From the outside th house looks very small, with no windows, and kind of ugly. But on the inside it's like another dimension and it's huge and beautiful. So sorry you having a hard time with it. Maybe it's just the economy or location. Lovely home.
I love what you did, especially in the backyard. where you connected all of the levels and made it so welcoming and as social as a person wants it to be. The rest of it is done well as you always do, I love how you kept the light coming through in general. Painted bricks are fine with me, the house I bought not to flip, about a year and a half ago has painted bricks, and I never thought I would like them, but it makes such a difference. I will never undo it! Good work, as always!
Here is another lesson you can learn, im also a flipper, so the guy right next to me when in and try to filp the house, he when in making a lot of noise, saw running, even when they talk in their backyard i can hear them loud, i have put up with their noise for 2month and couldnt take it any longer, so i call the city, they came over shut them down, and it has been sitting there for over 1month, i dont hear anything from them or any work next door, lesson here is dont just come in and making noise pissed off the next door neighbor.
Hi Elisa, thank you for the breakdown on your project. May I ask what paint color you used for the walls? It's a nice refreshing color tied together with the blonde floors.
ปีที่แล้ว +8
I wonder if a different color on the house would make it stand out more, its so white now. I'm not a fan of the fireplace brick paint, the grey makes me think of my high school's painted concrete. Can you tell us what the potential buyers didn't like about the home? Would be great to know their opinions.
Nice job, though I am sad you changed the finish color of the wood floors. The former color is really coming back into fashion. At least you didn't make them grey, though. Haha.
It is a gorgeous and inviting smaller home. Only changes I would make is to not have had the sink on the peninsula. My personal preference is to have the island or peninsula space uninterrupted by sinks or cooktops. I agree with the comment regarding the gray paint on the brick fireplace. I think a lighter color would be a better option. Even the same as the wall and break it up with a floating mantle of some sort. If there were room in the budget for a half-bath on the lower level that would be really nice, but I realize for flipping purposes why that expense may not be worth it in the end. Thank you for the interesting and inspiring videos!
Sorry to hear that....To me a big downside is the living area...the placement of the fireplace, entryway and stari and hallway openings makes it very hard to lay out a decent living area. The TV would have to go on the small slice of wall opposite the window. But you cant extend a couch on the kitchen side because it would break up the flow to the kitch/dining...further to that point your back would be towards the fireplace. I think you get alot more value had you closed off the stairwell and made the opening from the hallway...or barring a big change like that, you would need to work on staging the living area to make better use of the space and allow buyers to see how it could be used since it is an awkward space
Except for the fireplace, I never agree with painting brick. You turn a house with no maintance into a house that has to be pressure washed and never can go back to brick. Also, I never agree with doing away with a garage. Now you are leaving your car out in the elements, you can't have a charger or the extra storage for a mower or whatever. What homeowner ever said, yes let's have less storage...it doesn't have to be coats, but anything you want in a closet.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We didn’t touch the garage, and we converted the bonus room BEHIND the garage. There are also other hallway closets in the home.
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE BLOOPERS AGAIN. I’d love to flip houses and get my ideas out there. Unfortunately that’s a wealthy persons hobby. Hopefully the market is back to early 2022 movement due July. You did a great job with this flip. I see you painting the fireplaces in that gray to mute them out and almost make them disappear from the room. Have you thought of doing a mortar wash -removing the hearth and adding in a wooden stained faux beam or even (what I see is popular) removing the hearth and having a ceiling length concrete veneer fireplace? Then you could tint the concrete whatever color goes best with the home. The grey ruins the look for me. It’s a sore in the wall. Consider these on your next flip!
I see you put a lot of over the range microwave. IS it vented or the non vented one. I see a lot of condo in bay area with no vented type , so was wondering
Everything looks amazing! A few details that I noticed… the exterior front window trim was painted grey but the window trim was white on the rear of the house. I also would have faced the fireplace in the same marble-look tile/Schluter edging as the bathrooms vs painting the brick and upgraded the exterior deck railing to be more appealing/let the beautiful views and backyard speak for themselves. - If I’m seated, I’m looking at railing because it’s what is at eye-level.
Im in entirely complete agreement with regard to the FP. It's the one thing that just jumps off the page as a cheap-out. My attention was to the small bathrooms and lack of dual vanity anywhere but it's a compact footprint and little anyone can do but that Fire Place stood out like "HEY!! There's a WHOLE lot more could have been done here!!" and it was left SO lack-luster. Not good!! Would have taken so little to make a huge "WOW"!
I really can't believe you didn't sell that beautiful house right away. Even with the market, the way it is that's an amazing job you did. Sorry you cut down that tree that apparently was obstructing the view. Wish they had just trimmed it down. As usual, your stagers are right on point! Less is more. They Always have clean, simple but elegant. I love that they don't try to "fill in" each & every space. It's so distracting when dtagers place so many unnecessary things all over just to fill a space. Space is good & your stagers have what it takes to make everything aesthetically pleasing. How you sell quickly! Good luck. 🥰
We cannot sell our flip as well in Baltimore. Everybody just scared to buy. We started to advertise it as rental. Good luck with your sale. You did awesome job!
Simplesmente deslumbrante.... a cada dia mais e mais apaixonado por esse tipo de negócio. Tornou o ambiente mais leve, integrado e aconchegante. A simplicidade da cor clara com detalhes mais escuros, pacificaram todo o conjunto. A maior amplitude da Sala com a Cozinha deram uma sensação de espaço ainda maior a dois ambientes sem alterar seu tamanho original. As janelas se tornaram mais destacadas por conta do visual das montanhas lá fora. As luzes acrescentadas ao teto, padrão Brasileiro, derma um tom de modernidade irrefutável. Os quartos ganharam e os banheiros ganharam mais vida. Só deixaria ambos sem a banheira. Isso valorizaria muito mais os ambientes. O basement com acesso ao quintal é a cereja do bolo, tornando-se um ambiente de aconchego à família. Agora algo que não pode passar despercebido, é a tranquilidade da apresentação da profissional. Sua atuação, desenvoltura e calma na apresentação, sua voz tênue mais audível conseguiram passar tudo que o ambiente sugere ser. Parabéns à apresentadora, à profissional.
The staging was off! I saw no area for a media room. The living room furniture allowed no access to the view or fireplace. Downstairs the couch was put against the wall , that a entertainment area could have been .
Interior is awesome as always. I think a big deck at the entrance would have been better. The front garden doesn’t really serve a purpose. So buyers may have been put off knowing they would have to change it themselves. Nice views tho!
I am a fan of your flips and have learned so much by putting your creative ideas into action. I also flip homes, and have had success trying different styles, including Victorian, horse ranch, desert, contemporary, etc. Like you, most of my homes so far luckily sell within a month or less. This home in your video is very thoughtfully done, and the end result is wonderful. I love the openness and how you maximized the great views. Also how you changed the laundry area downstairs into usable space. The light colors chosen make the interior of the home seem more expansive as well. I see this current financial envirornment of high interest rates a great time to buy. I am open to hold for an indeterminate time as homes for sale in TX, NM, and AZ are currently flooding the market where I primarily do flips.. When sales warm up eventually, and interest rates come down, it will be a big relief. Flipping should become easier again.
I love all your choices for the renovation. I noticed you are sticking with white kitchen cabinets. Do you think you will continue using white in 2023?
ahhh yeah the market! I could not for the life of me guess why this house was sitting for so long. The only singular complaint I had was the glass dining table. and obviously that wouldn't have anything to do with the home sale. I was SOOOO confused until you spoke about the interest rates
With so much private decking and such a beautiful view, I'd be over the moon if I ever get to live here ❤. Also this house could be a nice Airbnb because there's so much space for entertaining and parties.
We are currently in The Great Housing Bear Market, 2022-2032. This 10-year housing depression will see homes fall from 50% to 70% over the 10-year period. The house flippers are trapped by buying too high and spending money on renovations that will bankrupt many flippers. The homes are suffering from one central fact: There are no more home buyers. Home buyers cannot afford nor qualify for homes. This is growing to a high level and creates the illusion of a housing market.
Really good choices in the finishes of this flip. I like the way you modernized it without a huge reno. I had to sell one of my flips to another investor because the market was softening too quickly. I still made money because I bought at a huge discount but gave up about 30k in profit.
I don't see a $$ return on spending money. replacing real hardwood flooring that appeared to be in great shape with composite flooring. Cost $$ and time. Nice job on kitchen! Backyard is nice!
This market condition is very difficult for house flipping. But I like this flipping as well. I was wondering if a larger retaining wall and some Italian cypress trees would make better curb appear
If you stay in the flipping business long enough, you will eventually have a loser. Flipping while the economy is in flux can be trickier than many unforeseen upgrades. But the house looks great, and you have learned to be more conservative.
The inside and backyard look great but the front of the house look plain like a mobile home. Front of the house make a huge difference. Maybe re design and add windows and more depth to the front house and add values. I like the property but I ain't got million to pay a plain looking house from the front
Unfortunately, inflation has caused home renovation costs to increase and higher interest rates are causing home prices to drop. Hope things get better in 2023.
The inside is wonderful, but the outside is uninspired. That white window with the dark frame around it, detract from the look of the house horribly, and if that were modernized somehow in the entranceway made more appealing. It would go a long way to leaving a good impression. I think the inside is wonderful though.
I love your videos! Where did you get the light over the table, please! And I really appreciate your honesty about the pros and cons of flipping. I hope you sold this house by now!
Nice transformation. You are very young and have a lot more to learn in that business. Most importantly greed and/or ignorance is a recipe for loosing in Real Estate.
Others in the comments seems to like the white exterior. Personally I thought the natural brick was more attractive. I like brick...non painted brick. For paint I would choose a complimentary color like green or a dark teal. White if not paired with natural elements or color can give a cold sterile feel that is not homey. White/off white usually reminds me of cheap apartments instead of classy warm and elegant homes. The exception might be a colonial style home where the white with black is traditional. Basically I would choose my pallet to fit the home and neighborhood.
If you're open to refinancing and holding on for a year you can sell this on a lease option + 10% on the ARV. Happy to help advise if you would like guidance
Part of your loss is you bought the house when the housing market was high and the materials were more expensive due to inflation, and now the market is declining, which slows down the sales of home in some areas.
use articles "take the home off the market" not "off market" Use the plural form when appropriate."since the fed started to raise interest rates" not "interest rate"

This flip project looks so luxurious than others. But so sorry to hear that it was a failed
Why not link to where the home is listed on your video? Your video has engaged with 62k people in 9 days, surely some of those people are potential buyers.
One change I would suggest is adding a border of river rock to keep the mulch from spilling out onto the concrete. It's a tiny little thing but it draws the buyer's eye to the sidewalk instead of the beautiful front door you have chosen.
That's a good idea. I noticed that and it would bother me. haha
Yeah. Rocks. Great idea. Or we could get the federal government to stop lighting our money on fire and sending our economy further in decline.
Great suggestion! Got any more swell ideas Long Dong?
@@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi- awesome response 🤣🤣
Excellent suggestion.

The only place is I see that now, is all the way in the basement laundry room. I've literally not bought houses because of lack of storage like this.
I agree with you imo not a good idea to remove coat closet . A lot of Reno’s seem to take away storage especially for the things you’re referring to.
I'm shocked the views alone didn't sell this place. The home is absolutely beautiful and well done.
High interest increases the TCO.
I think this is an interest rate driven problem. The work is impeccable, and very tasty. The problem is that the Fed is making cash tight and expensive at the moment.

Sorry to hear you had such a difficult experience with this flip. FWIW, it still looks quite nice, like always. Those views are quite impressive, too.
Such a great video. You have good taste. Do you mind sharing the numbers? How much you bought it for and how much are you selling it now for?
May I ask for the price? I think I missed it...
Hard to flip houses when fed goes nuts and pumps mortgages to 7%
I cant speak to prices but that is a lovely looking house now.
Always love your transparency, Alisa. I'm crossing my fingers you get an offer soon.
Every flipped house I looked at when buying couldn't pass the inspection without major red flags. All the paint in the world will not hide HVAC, plumbing, termite, and foundation issues. When I estimated what it would cost to "fix" the flip, it would have been 59% of the sale price, higher on some. I spent probably $2000 on inspections before I found one I could "afford" to take on.
Could you rent the house out in the meantime and try selling sometime next year?
It's a really nice flip but the market is really difficult. I am renovating an apartament right now in Germany and will just rent it out. The rents went up since the Ukraine crisis and it is not worth it to put it on the market now.
lol, you can gold plate that house and it won't matter. Interest rate so high that you need to make 250k-300K a year to be able to get a loan from the bank for a house in the bay area. Other than cash buyers, you're out of luck for the next 8 months.
A stunning transformation. Removing the tree to open up the view was the best decision in the entire project.
The concrete staircase in front of the house is horrendous, you might want to try changing it with a wooden deck, stairs, and handrails.
$2.1M for 1500 sq feet.. man the Peninsula Market is crazy
I love the house. You did a great job flipping.
This one is my absolute favourite. The feeling you have created in the home is so peaceful. Well done on all the challenges.
From the outside th house looks very small, with no windows, and kind of ugly. But on the inside it's like another dimension and it's huge and beautiful. So sorry you having a hard time with it. Maybe it's just the economy or location. Lovely home.
I wish you lime washed the fireplaces because that solid color is too harsh.
What is the rental demand in the Bay Area? Maybe look at renting this one during down turn?
I love what you did, especially in the backyard. where you connected all of the levels and made it so welcoming and as social as a person wants it to be. The rest of it is done well as you always do, I love how you kept the light coming through in general. Painted bricks are fine with me, the house I bought not to flip, about a year and a half ago has painted bricks, and I never thought I would like them, but it makes such a difference. I will never undo it! Good work, as always!
Are those flooring new? Or just repaint?
Everyone wants to live here, but most can’t afford it
In an up market, anyone can make money flipping. In a down market, only experienced flippers can make money. Everyone else will get slaughtered.
Tons of investors brought Evergrande business model to every corner of the world. I don't think she can use that OTR microwave. Need tall buyer.
Here is another lesson you can learn, im also a flipper, so the guy right next to me when in and try to filp the house, he when in making a lot of noise, saw running, even when they talk in their backyard i can hear them loud, i have put up with their noise for 2month and couldnt take it any longer, so i call the city, they came over shut them down, and it has been sitting there for over 1month, i dont hear anything from them or any work next door, lesson here is dont just come in and making noise pissed off the next door neighbor.
This is a nice one. I like it.
I love the bathrooms with the beautiful white modern marble and the floating sinks. Beautifully done. It looks like a beautiful house.
You probably could convert the downstairs to legal sqft by just have the drawings especially you already did all the work.
Love the transparency and the bloopers. Thank you for keeping it real.

That’s really good work making it light and airy, it just needs to find the right buyer in this tough market.
Why would you paint a beautiful natural brick chimney?
Seriously.. painted brick looks really tacky.
@@Robert-un3cf Plus they are forever ruined once you do that. This is basically just more "shabby chic". I am so tired of it .
Just rent it out, for more than your mortgage if possible and you’ll be all set
Sorry to hear that....To me a big downside is the living area...the placement of the fireplace, entryway and stari and hallway openings makes it very hard to lay out a decent living area.

The new front door looks so much better. I'm curious how much is labor to install that door, and also the cost of the new door.
Both times a new front door (with frame) installed cost me $2000; once from Lowes and once from Home Depot.
Except for the fireplace, I never agree with painting brick. You turn a house with no maintance into a house that has to be pressure washed and never can go back to brick. Also, I never agree with doing away with a garage. Now you are leaving your car out in the elements, you can't have a charger or the extra storage for a mower or whatever.

Love the design, Love the honesty.Hope you mentioned the purchase price and the rehab cost.
IM SO HAPPY TO SEE BLOOPERS AGAIN.
I’d love to flip houses and get my ideas out there. Unfortunately that’s a wealthy persons hobby.
Hopefully the market is back to early 2022 movement due July. You did a great job with this flip. I see you painting the fireplaces in that gray to mute them out and almost make them disappear from the room.
Have you thought of doing a mortar wash -removing the hearth and adding in a wooden stained faux beam or even (what I see is popular) removing the hearth and having a ceiling length concrete veneer fireplace? Then you could tint the concrete whatever color goes best with the home.
The grey ruins the look for me. It’s a sore in the wall. Consider these on your next flip!
a lot of lipstick and rouge was used?
I see you put a lot of over the range microwave. IS it vented or the non vented one. I see a lot of condo in bay area with no vented type , so was wondering
For taking only two months that’s a phenomenal transformation. I Love the bloopers 😂 btw.
The house is lovely! That’s too bad that it isn’t moving quickly!
Everything looks amazing!
A few details that I noticed…
the exterior front window trim was painted grey but the window trim was white on the rear of the house. I also would have faced the fireplace in the same marble-look tile/Schluter edging as the bathrooms vs painting the brick and upgraded the exterior deck railing to be more appealing/let the beautiful views and backyard speak for themselves. - If I’m seated, I’m looking at railing because it’s what is at eye-level.

There's a WHOLE lot more could have been done here!!" and it was left SO lack-luster. Not good!! Would have taken so little to make a huge "WOW"!
The house looks beautiful! Great job as always and thank you for sharing your experiences. I hope someone will buy it soon
2023 will certainly not be a "rainbow and butterflies" type of year for flipping houses in the Bay Area. Good luck with the sale.
I really can't believe you didn't sell that beautiful house right away. Even with the market, the way it is that's an amazing job you did. Sorry you cut down that tree that apparently was obstructing the view. Wish they had just trimmed it down. As usual, your stagers are right on point! Less is more. They Always have clean, simple but elegant. I love that they don't try to "fill in" each & every space. It's so distracting when dtagers place so many unnecessary things all over just to fill a space. Space is good & your stagers have what it takes to make everything aesthetically pleasing. How you sell quickly! Good luck. 🥰
Regarding exterior, I liked the brick look in the before shot.
We cannot sell our flip as well in Baltimore. Everybody just scared to buy. We started to advertise it as rental. Good luck with your sale. You did awesome job!
Simplesmente deslumbrante.... a cada dia mais e mais apaixonado por esse tipo de negócio.
Tornou o ambiente mais leve, integrado e aconchegante. A simplicidade da cor clara com detalhes mais escuros, pacificaram todo o conjunto.
A maior amplitude da Sala com a Cozinha deram uma sensação de espaço ainda maior a dois ambientes sem alterar seu tamanho original.
As janelas se tornaram mais destacadas por conta do visual das montanhas lá fora. As luzes acrescentadas ao teto, padrão Brasileiro, derma um tom de modernidade irrefutável.
Os quartos ganharam e os banheiros ganharam mais vida. Só deixaria ambos sem a banheira. Isso valorizaria muito mais os ambientes.
O basement com acesso ao quintal é a cereja do bolo, tornando-se um ambiente de aconchego à família.
Agora algo que não pode passar despercebido, é a tranquilidade da apresentação da profissional. Sua atuação, desenvoltura e calma na apresentação, sua voz tênue mais audível conseguiram passar tudo que o ambiente sugere ser. Parabéns à apresentadora, à profissional.
If you list in the new year, the sale price should be much better.
Are you thinking about renting the house?
The staging was off! I saw no area for a media room. The living room furniture allowed no access to the view or fireplace. Downstairs the couch was put against the wall , that a entertainment area could have been .
Finally someone say true true!!! Thank you for sharing your real experience
Interior is awesome as always. I think a big deck at the entrance would have been better. The front garden doesn’t really serve a purpose. So buyers may have been put off knowing they would have to change it themselves. Nice views tho!
I am a fan of your flips and have learned so much by putting your creative ideas into action. I also flip homes, and have had success trying different styles, including Victorian, horse ranch, desert, contemporary, etc. Like you, most of my homes so far luckily sell within a month or less. This home in your video is very thoughtfully done, and the end result is wonderful. I love the openness and how you maximized the great views. Also how you changed the laundry area downstairs into usable space. The light colors chosen make the interior of the home seem more expansive as well. I see this current financial envirornment of high interest rates a great time to buy. I am open to hold for an indeterminate time as homes for sale in TX, NM, and AZ are currently flooding the market where I primarily do flips.. When sales warm up eventually, and interest rates come down, it will be a big relief. Flipping should become easier again.
I love all your choices for the renovation. I noticed you are sticking with white kitchen cabinets. Do you think you will continue using white in 2023?
ahhh yeah the market! I could not for the life of me guess why this house was sitting for so long. The only singular complaint I had was the glass dining table. and obviously that wouldn't have anything to do with the home sale. I was SOOOO confused until you spoke about the interest rates
With so much private decking and such a beautiful view, I'd be over the moon if I ever get to live here ❤. Also this house could be a nice Airbnb because there's so much space for entertaining and parties.
Well how much was the purchase and the Remodeling of the House. I Bought my for 134,000 and hitting around 100;000 to fix it and still not done.
What a beautiful home. I'm sure someone's gonna fall in love with it and pay the full price. Good luck
We are currently in The Great Housing Bear Market, 2022-2032. This 10-year housing depression will see homes fall from 50% to 70% over the 10-year period. The house flippers are trapped by buying too high and spending money on renovations that will bankrupt many flippers. The homes are suffering from one central fact: There are no more home buyers. Home buyers cannot afford nor qualify for homes. This is growing to a high level and creates the illusion of a housing market.
Really good choices in the finishes of this flip. I like the way you modernized it without a huge reno. I had to sell one of my flips to another investor because the market was softening too quickly. I still made money because I bought at a huge discount but gave up about 30k in profit.
I'd rather have the kitchen sink by the window. The sink where it's at now looks out of place.
I don't see a $$ return on spending money. replacing real hardwood flooring that appeared to be in great shape with composite flooring. Cost $$ and time. Nice job on kitchen! Backyard is nice!
This market condition is very difficult for house flipping. But I like this flipping as well. I was wondering if a larger retaining wall and some Italian cypress trees would make better curb appear
If you find PCs laptops Chromebooks gaming systems or tablets please let me know! Thank you 🤓🌹
I think you did an amazing job on this house!
It’s absolutely stunning!!
Hope it will sell soon…
If you stay in the flipping business long enough, you will eventually have a loser. Flipping while the economy is in flux can be trickier than many unforeseen upgrades. But the house looks great, and you have learned to be more conservative.
You do awesome flips, present your houses well and your bloopers at the end were too cute/funny! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
The inside and backyard look great but the front of the house look plain like a mobile home. Front of the house make a huge difference. Maybe re design and add windows and more depth to the front house and add values. I like the property but I ain't got million to pay a plain looking house from the front
I'm from Iowa, we need the closets for coats for sure. I love this house. The lower level is an amazing bonus!!I hope it sold by now.
Unfortunately, inflation has caused home renovation costs to increase and higher interest rates are causing home prices to drop. Hope things get better in 2023.
The inside is wonderful, but the outside is uninspired. That white window with the dark frame around it, detract from the look of the house horribly, and if that were modernized somehow in the entranceway made more appealing. It would go a long way to leaving a good impression. I think the inside is wonderful though.
I love your videos! Where did you get the light over the table, please! And I really appreciate your honesty about the pros and cons of flipping. I hope you sold this house by now!
I always like your before and after renovation, and what a view tho
What paint is used throughout the home? Is the main color Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee?
Nice transformation. You are very young and have a lot more to learn in that business. Most importantly greed and/or ignorance is a recipe for loosing in Real Estate.
Others in the comments seems to like the white exterior. Personally I thought the natural brick was more attractive. I like brick...non painted brick. For paint I would choose a complimentary color like green or a dark teal. White if not paired with natural elements or color can give a cold sterile feel that is not homey. White/off white usually reminds me of cheap apartments instead of classy warm and elegant homes. The exception might be a colonial style home where the white with black is traditional. Basically I would choose my pallet to fit the home and neighborhood.
If you're open to refinancing and holding on for a year you can sell this on a lease option + 10% on the ARV. Happy to help advise if you would like guidance
Part of your loss is you bought the house when the housing market was high and the materials were more expensive due to inflation, and now the market is declining, which slows down the sales of home in some areas.
use articles "take the home off the market" not "off market" Use the plural form when appropriate."since the fed started to raise interest rates" not "interest rate"
The inside is good but the front is structurally not interesting. It’s just a window and door. It needs a better structured front.
Where is the house located? It's beautiful done, I'm in Bay area and looking for a place similar to this
Very good information. First time finding your channel. Thank you.
