You guys are not just showing us awesome house flips, you make us laughhhh and that's why I enjoy your videos so muchhh 🌺🌺
And, “Nothing worse than a bad-on.”
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
Me living in an untouched 1950’s house looking at my sinks and shower 🥴 now I can’t stop thinking about that old rotted plumbing 😂
And big spiders
@MJc music channel Chvojka got that sick rgb led huh?
lead
Yes....we just replaced all our under house plumbing in December.
$30,000.00.
It is not cheap, but a great investment. We only paid $43,000.00 for the house 41 years ago.
Only 99,956 more likes to get him freed from the Hans Solo wall!! 🤣 Love the tile in the kitchen!

A black house with a black roof in the middle of Texas? I like the colors but man, I'd hate to be the person to have to pay the electric bill with the amount of A/C that thing is going to need!
creo igual, Carnal! 😉😉😉 Saludos desde eSpringdale Arkansas, BuenGente!!!
A silver metal roof would have been much better
perhaps the shade from trees helps .... ?
@@valerieann2751 A metal roof is waaay more expensive and they've got to put this house back in order so they can sell it. Maybe the buyer could put the metal roof on the house? I think roof materials last 15 years or so.
Came here to say the same thing. Really crazy.
Man, I can’t believe that wasn’t just a tear down and rebuild on the slab with a partial 2nd story for that renovation price.. and put the garage back. Who wants to buy a $750k house and have no garage!?
Yeah I can't believe they didn't turn it back into a garage, or build a new garage
In Texas, it's pretty common to not use your garage since the only thing that's a concern is heat.
@@dianaadamo5574 And HAIL! And people breaking out your car windows. 9 years living in Chicago and never happened. Few months in Texas and had a window crowbarred and seen windows broken out like mad and even the tail lights stolen out of F150s!
@@dianaadamo5574 I guess Houston doesn’t have vehicle break in problems though because every neighborhood is gated? Haha
@@NealD that sucks that that happened. What general area in Texas are you in if you’re comfortable saying?
I bet the neighbors are really happy you updated it. Sometime these things just stay in a dilapidated state. You guys rock!
I thought $68K profit wasn’t bad until you reminded us it took a year. Ouch. Lesson learned.
Isn’t that a years salary?
@@Val.Kyrie. after capital gains tax and then being split 2 ways it might approach half of someone’s salary. I think you have to hold a home at least 2 years to avoid the tax, but validate before you take my word for it.
@Felicify admittedly overall they’re doing great. For sure beating my salary. My point was their point. This house didn’t help their average.
Flippers can make that in 4 to 8 weeks
You know what. Maybe this flip didn't make sense from a "profit" standpoint, but your guys did so good and you built a "HOME" for someone to Love. You did Good!
I did not think I would like the bold tile in the kitchen but I really liked it when I saw the finished product!
SAME. I was like “oh no no noooo” at first. But it works!
You know what really says "garage conversion"? Yep, leaving the garage door shapes on the front of the house.
Right?! I was wondering about that.
Way too dark on the outside with nothing to lighten it up. Especially in a hot state
You must not live in Austin, this color scheme is very very common here with new builds
Remind me not to move to Austin. I agree with Teresa - a black house? NO.
@@grayonthewater Has been shown to be 80 degrees hotter than the outside temperature for black roofs or homes. Have fun with that ac bill.
Exactly, that is totally not a color for resale.
Black is a little too heat absorbent for my taste, especially in the Texas heat.
@Titts up your ass I probably would have done a creamy white on the brick with that natural wood look for the trim and a red door would have been 🔥. Only way I would have done black in the Texas head is if solar panels were on the house.
@@xthatwhiteguyx insulation isn't 100% effective, if it was you would run your a/c once a month
Oh my, that house is crazy expensive. On top of that I can’t imagine those utility bills with that color.
Blah blah blah
I bought my first rental recently and still yet to grab my head around the real estate market coming from a background of aerospace engineering. have around $110k in balance. not enough for the 25% down i need for a choice property mortgage. so it's lying around doing nothing in a savings account. don't really wanna get my hands dirty due to my job so I am thinking of buying and flipping or stocks.. maybe REITs
Thinking of it as a small business is a good way to look at it. A lot of my coworkers are similar to you, with degrees in management / engineers / comp sci. A few of them have purchased houses and then moved away. Because our field simply just moves around a lot. Even last month, someone took a higher paying job at Facebook and now has to sell their house, which he's trying to do remotely. my take will be to try something called algorithmic trading. it's a hands off approach to investing in stocks and can get substantially more profitable than RE if you do it right and it's a trending wave now
@@joshh6078 interesting. how does that work?
@@robertlambert1786 it's about translating someone else's trades into your own account. trick is knowing who to mirror. i've had bad luck doing it with some etoro traders and stayed in the red. these days I've stuck with Josephine Guevara Laporte. she seems to know what she's doing seeing as my account has done some ten percent in growth monthly. been with her for over two years now and have not seen any reason to complain. would highly recommend her to you
@@robertlambert1786 You really don't sound like you have the drive to do all that it takes in RE. i will go with the algo trading guy. it's quite popular these days for most people who cannot get into the nitty and gritty of the various markets owing to full time jobs
@@joshh6078 I am interested in this. what is Josephine's fee structure like and is there a minimum amount required to use her services
Thanks for showing the bad and ugly. You all bought a stack of bricks and a few windows, basically a blank slate.
Only thing, the pillars out front need to be a bit more beefier. Kinda tooth picky.
Agreed!
Agreed!
Agree, also, even though toothpick supports are unfortunately common throughout the country.
Yes and i would have went a tad lighter wood so they pop more.
Agreed
I prepared myself for a sad "we lost our shirt on this one," but $68,000 is a decent profit. Great tile in the kitchen and the hall bath. Kind of a miss with the exterior paint colors. Seems dark and gloomy, plus there's no contrast between the walls and trim.
But did they sell it for that? That was what they asked for it. I would not pay that for that particular home....
$68,000 surely isn't enough for the level of work and coordination that went into this.
It is seriously about a 10% profit. Not great at all.
Thank you for the vote on the previous exterior color scheme. I agree and this isn't the first time. The brick was much nicer off white than dark grey. And no reason for the dark roof. If you really had to have the dark exterior, could have been contrasted nicely with a nearly white roof.
Boy that was a hideous house at first, lol. Even if the process was a bit of a nightmare, such a beautiful end product!😍😍😍
🙏🏼♥️👍🏼
Yikes, I couldn't imagine spending over $300k for a shell of a house and then that again for fitting it out + it taking a year to do so. You guys have perseverance! Great episode though, loved the transformation. Perfect house for multi-generational living too, with the two master suites.
I was astounded by the cost of the renovation, I was thinking it would be under $200k. And then I was amazed that they sold the house for over $700k and made a profit! These guys sure know what they are doing and what the real estate market in Austin is like.
@@caseyflorida Tech companies moved to Austin in between. That’s why they made a profit. If they had waited a year and sold the house as-is, they would have made the same profit.
Doesn't a black house soak up more heat? I'm surprised to see that in Texas.
Same. Trim is one thing, but the whole house? 😶
The owner could easily paint it over if thats the case
@@SG-uh6sw painting over black takes a LOT of paint, because it needs a primer that covers dark colours & often that requires many coats.
and its ugly ugly ugly. UG.
@@montanateri6889 just dont make the same mistake is all
I love watching your videos! I previously did a house flip in Ireland where I am from and It’s so much harder to change the plan of the house due to the fact that all the walls are brick or concrete blocks! With 3 steel beams later, we did it but or profit margin was decreased due to the extra support 🥲Next time I’m going to not hire as many workers and on my weekends off I’ll bite the bullet. I now have the money made from the house to add on to a better house for my next time around!
Love that
Well done either way! :)
The upside to it lasting a year is it probably appreciated a lot 🤣
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS, I love that they have jokes and it isn’t all serious ❤️
♥️♥️♥️
Too dark ! No cheerful feeling 😞 there. I think wooden shutters would have brought it up
Benjamin Moore painting- a mexican guy painting with no mask.. very proffesional hell yeah
I was really prepared to not like some of your tile choices, but it came out peaceful with good energy, just lovely
I'm genuinely surprised that you guys don't have your own HGTV show yet
I know this took a lot to accomplish. I know it was not a big money maker. I see through process, a lot of people worked hard to provide for their families. SCORE!! It looks awesome too.
For staging, close the toilet lid! Looks so crass with it up.
The exterior colours are popular up here in Alberta, though, the trim is usually black.
That black exterior looks sleek, but black absorbs heat and in 100f+ heat, that AC is going to work harder and cost more.
Yeah, the black is nice, but I’m definitely not a huge fan of it. Gonna be super hard to paint over in the future, and like you said, it’s gonna be super hot because the black absorbs sun.
It also noticeably fades...not a fan..
Nice job. Seems like every home is being painted gray nowadays. KInd of over that. But the inside is gorgeous! What a huge project! Admire all you did.
Way too dark in the heat of Texas. And you missed out on using those beams sticking out of the roof line to bring the eye up and accent the midcentury-modern style.
My husband is not a fan of the busy tile that is so popular today however, I’m in love with the look of it!
I’m so glad you put different flooring in each bathroom. They’re all beautiful!!! So much personality!
Personally I would have run that tile all the way to the ceiling-make it a feature wall. I know it’s a few more bucks but would look so much better
That cookie...totally through off the symmetry in the staged jar. Do you have ANY idea how long that took to stack? Next time buddy take one from the back. Sheeesh. 🤣
😂
The inside is OK, The outside looks like a place where you'd meet Freddie Krueger. Gruesome.
I think the colors are great, just not in the Texas heat.
Hahaha
Yes! A bad choice for energy efficiency
with that outside you’re going to look like Freddie Krueger after the first summer.
The kitchen backsplash is wild! It’s giving me 1970 meets 2070. It’s amazing. Great touch
I loved the FAQ part! Not only because it was interesting, but also because you never sounded condescending or "duh, this is so obvious." You have a very approachable style. Though I don't always agree with your design choices, I love your videos and always think the finished product looks sharp.
The purchase price was for the lot. This thing looks like it needed to be scraped off the lot and start over...or at least blow the roof off and get a second story out of it and restore the garage.
Agree a roughly 10% profit doesn't cut it for the amount of time, effort and coordination required. Still beats a 10% loss.
Those poor palm trees though - palms should never be trimmed that much - it makes it so hard on the tree itself, and reduces its ability to withstand storms.
Cheers from Alaska! We completed our fixer upper project last year and accepted an offer higher than listing within 1 day! Enjoy watching your videos and always like to learn from you guys.
Hello you 2. Love the before and after videos so much. Addicted!!
Thankssss
In a previous video, Lincoln said he liked the double basin kitchen sinks and I have to agree!! They’re so much more convenient!
Single basin sinks are more useful though. We love ours as pots fit inside better.
I'm glad you started putting in slide-in ranges. I know they cost a bit more but they look so much better than those ranges with that hump on the back.
I loved the lily tiles. They looked so different and absolutely beautiful
At least y’all made you’re profit on this video. What was that like..5 sponsors/featured products? I’m so happy y’all are doing so well, I love your videos!
The bathroom is adorable. I love the tile. Flooring throughout is also really pretty! Not sold on the garage conversion from the outside... But I'm from KS and that's blasphemous here. Maybe it's more typical to see that there. I would have made it back into a garage!
In Kansas you have basements.
@@kvogel9245 true, we have that extra square footage. But we don't park in the basement.
Yup. Here in Kansas if you make a garage conversion like that you might as well have used a page from the bible as toilet paper as you have basically signed your own ostracization warrant 😂
Man those margins were rough. That was a high purchase price and Reno, thought that would be about $200k. Last time I did a Reno was early last March in Dallas, so those look crazy.. it’s tough for investors, especially in Austin,
I love everything you did on the inside! The tile is beautiful! I really hate how garage conversions look from the outside. I wonder if you could add brick, where the doors used to be, to make it look seamless. Personally, I'd miss having a garage, so I wonder if it would have cost less to convert it back to a garage. Spending less on the remodel and getting less for the house because you lose a bedroom and bathroom might be a wash. I think the outside definitely needed to be painted, but I'm not crazy about the dark colors. Maybe if the roofline and accents were white, it would balance it out. I'm sure the new owners will love the property and I'll bet the neighbors are so pleased to have that eyesore updated and breathing new life into the neighborhood! Nice work!!
I actually like the dark exterior, but I was wondering about those garage doors as well.. I thought they would comment on that, but surprisingly they didn't..
This is not the first house they painted black, and I am not a fan. It looks like a haunted house
I'm a newbie to your video's, I cant stop watching them, love the way you put them together and they always look amazing 👍🏽
I think I heard a lovely You Tuber mention you on her video, cause she watches you and here I am, she actually bought a house in Texas and is doing it up. Thank you xx💫🌻☀️
Oh wow! That cost a lot of money in a first place for such a bad house ! It turned out great though! It is so weird that you guys think 1958 house is old haha! I live in the UK and I have lived in houses that were from 19th century and still were not considered old or historic haha!
This always gets me- no house here is old unless it's at least 100 years +. I've never lived in a house less than 70 years old!
The US tends to use lower quality materials that don’t last as long, hence “old”
@@AderuMoro you are missing the fact that the US is not that old to begin with when it comes to traditional housing.
Seriously amazing transformation! 🤯 To everyone criticizing the exterior color, this is actually a very common exterior color scheme in Austin with new builds, particularly on the east side. The builders who commonly use it are called M83 or something, trust me they’re everywhere. (My fav example is in the pleasant valley/12th st area you’ll know it when you see it it looks like a magazine🤩) Question for you, why not cut into the garage bedroom more to create a larger bathroom? Or why not convert back to a garage? Or or, why not create a carport? There’s a lovely neighborhood at the corner or Aldwyche and Lightsey that has homes in a similar mix of dark exteriors with carports and it looks like they are done really well.
The kitchen tiles are great, but choosing a color that restricts what the buyer can use with their colors. I enjoy your channel.
Questions: 1) Do you do any of the manual work yourselves, and if not now, did you when you started this venture? 2) Now that the Austin RE market is in decline, how will you adjust your business model to meet your profit targets? 3) What is your profit target, and how do you measure it? Like with this one, you spent a year and made the same amount you could have with a much easier flip. I'm interested in the financial objectives for these projects. 4) At the end of each project, do you review the project and decide whether it was a success, a break even or a flop? I think that kind of bottom line analysis would be really helpful to your subscribers. Thanks so much. LOVE your channel.
I am not a fan of the outside colour but I LOVE the ones you chose inside. When I see videos like this, people tend to get dark wood and dark everything, it makes me cringe so much...
I LOVE the minimalistic style you went for when staging it.
A bigger window in the bathrooms would have been nice, more natural light, but not bad.
Now to the staged bedroom: I really do not understand why Americans always need such huge rooms. You only go there to sleep and change clothes, why so much room?
Anyway, great flip. I think this is the best one I've seen so far.

You just mixed two completely different universes and I’m living for it
I would have rather had the garage back.
Me too! I like a garage, especially with those hurricanes hitting Texas
@@everythingrebekahlorraine just for storage alone!
Michigander living in Texas...it boggles my mind how many Texans don't park in their garage or have (poorly) converted it into more living space.
I am loving the tiles, in the kitchen AND in the bathroom 😍😍😍😍
I finally subscribed. I discovered you guys last weekend. Great show, I watched all weekend. You guys are very classy, love your style. I don’t always agree on the layouts but I’m learning great stuff. Blessings to your staff, your families and your audiences.
It turned out nice, but the process to get there ... wooo!
😳😂♥️
I'm a new subscriber to your channel, and I'm binge watching all of your videos. I must say the end project of each house is fascinating 😍. My favorite part of each house to see is the kitchen. 😊
Please post more videos like this. Love watching your videos.
You guys are doing an amazing job ❤️ Keep it up!
Love all the tile choices. Definitely inspiring
I’m SO excited you guys are filming again! Even though I am only half way through the video, I know it’s going to be beautiful. ❤️
Hello, hope you’re fine and staying safe?
„Keep your orchids fake and your cookies real“ haha I love this 🍪
Love love everything about this house ! Amazing job !!
I love the rational component you all added. Now everything makes sense
Great job guys! I really want learn how to flip houses. Currently I am living in NYC, but planning in moving to Charllote in two years and work with it. Keep the awesome work you share here at CZcams. It helps a lot. Thanks!!
Ya’ll did an incredible job! It’s so beautiful!
I liked the white brick. It's good for the climate in Austin. Helping the reflect the heat.
I’m not sure I’d like the patterned kitchen tile after moving in. A white tile and go all the way up the walls might work better for more potential buyers...(opinion).
As an Interior Designer, I would have suggested: (1) taller cabinets, run all the way to the ceiling, as the upper shelves could be used for storage of those seldom used (but important) trays, bowls, etc.; (2) eliminate the patterned tile and use a soft dove gray subway tile from countertop to ceiling; (3) use the same dove gray color for the island cabinet color to create a unified theme; (4) use a microwave oven hood above the range, as the current wall-mounted microwave is oddly placed, lacks visual balance in its current location, and it is incorrectly mounted to hang lower than the adjoining cabinet; (5) the island light fixtures do not complement a single design element in the room, neither in shape nor metal finish. It would have been an extra bonus if you had installed a counter-depth refrigerator, allowing for a shallower cabinet above. This creates a more spacious floor area between the fridge and the island. A ceiling-height cabinet above the fridge would also provide extra storage.
I am in love with this house. Nice job!
Love the wall color! Off-white are the best. Can you please share the name of the paint colors for the interior?
You should put a cardboard fridge! And a demo TV as they have in Ikea. In Europe some of the more bulky pieces of furniture like a bed are just constructed out of cardboard and then covered with a blanket. This way you don't need to haul big heavy or expensive pieces into the house to demonstrate how you'd decorate it.
I’m so glad you don’t hesitate to paint brick. I can’t understand the thinking behind keeping the original brick when it’s outdated.
The tiles in the bathroom and kitchen are so beautiful 😍😍😍wow!!!!
You guys really love painting in the black and white hues.
Bold tile choices and no garage equates to cutting your buyer numbers in half.
the tile in the bathrooms aren’t my favorite but the house came out so beautiful in the end 😍
I've been binge watching you guys for a couple days and your sparky, sarcastic humor is life!
Amazing transformation! Great job! Mid century modern! Eames furniture would look wonderful in this space!
FINally a new video! I'm checking out the tile fer shur.
♥️♥️♥️
Love you guys! Great flips and tips!
Thank you!
Color is much better on this house! Great job guys! Like to see some more recent flips. We’re near the end of 2022.
You guys have been killing it with the tiles and lighting fixtures recently!
I LOVE the black colors of the exterior!! You should do more of it!
It would have been a huge learning curve with tons of unique experiences to be even better ( you guys are awesome at what you do) so yeah worth the investment. That primary room i would keep as a work space since it has one sink and the other room with double vanity as my sleep room... dont need a huge room for my rnr. Love the build awesome job
It's like night and day. Night on the outside and day on the inside. 😁
I so love this house, and what you did to it. It is my fav, so far, of all I've seen yet. Austin properties are simply outside the realm of people not living in Austin.
Looks great! So much work
Y’all killed it omg I need more you guys are hilarious definitely enjoy your videos! 🔥🖤🤟🏾
You two utilize black in all my favorite ways. Each one of your remodels have some black and I thank you for that! The houses are great.
you two are such goofs. awesome. love the black on black shades on the exterior and the pop of color in the kitchen. I would have liked for the new "master bedroom" to have a double door for backyard access, but you did say that the buyers have that option or to convert it to a rental type of space.
Love the exterior paint. Totally stealing it. Thank you for resolving the family debate on paint!
Like the kitchen island as all prep space without sink and/or stove, especially for family with children who then safely could use island for crafts and homework. Like that there is at least some counter space next to refrigerator. Too many kitchens have no counter to set food to place into or when removing.
Outstanding look. Black on outside was bold since we have June-August in the 100’s. But good job Lauren.
I love how open it is inside
I love all of the finishes. You've done a wonderful job. I thought I was watching HGTV throughout the whole episode. Very professionally done. Bravo. I just hit the subscribe button and the notification bell, so I don't miss another episode.
Hello, hope you’re fine and staying safe?
Love your flips, but must admit to being super impressed with the cookie staging! You guys are great :)
I love love super love the kitchen especially the bold pattern... You guys did an amazing job once again....❤️❤️❤️
I agree these people in the comments section complaining about the color choices and tile are ridiculous. I thought everything was great! They specifically said that this area of Austin is a hipper area, hence the choices they made. I loved it all.
@@carolynw8614 yeah m... Without being too traditional and boring with some elements like paints and tiles everything for me is great. I love how they consider the area and its neighborhood whenever they flip houses.
