@@mundybaker8470 I see a lot of corner and i am not even in construction or house build, Especially the bathroom. I can easily see why people don't used them, They look cheap, Make the house cheap. It make it look like they took short cuts. I can gurantee it wouldn't last long
That flickering comes from LED and Fluorescent lights. They actually strobe faster than the eye can see but are picked up on camera due to the frame rate (how many pictures are recorded per second.) You can help this with a lower frame rate usually, but if you do a time lapse with certain LED or Fluorescent light, it's bound to accentuate it. Just something that cameras have to deal with. If you wanted to try and guard against it, I would try to bring a bright work light with a bulb that doesn't strobe. Just test it out with some footage and then put it in a time lapse to see if that light helps. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
I appreciate your hard work, as I'm sure this wasn't easy. Although I will say, it would be nice to see some of these old houses updated, but some of the design sort of kept the same. The cabinets in this one were really cute with their cut out designs. I also liked the "rounded" countertops/ island. Nowadays everything is pointy and square. It's ok in some houses, but it would be nice to see some variety. I'm sure there would be people who would pay good money for a restored house that has new materials, but sort of a retro vibe. It makes it stand out more. A lot of houses look too cookie cutter today. Just an idea.
yeah, but what's the market for a prebuilt "retro" house. People who would want that unorthodox home would probably prefer to actually design it themselves, and not buy it prebuilt (unless it was created by someone who actually understands the aesthetic)
That may be good if the person intends to renovate the house to live. To sell, you have to pay attention to what the market is asking. If the trend if all sharp and square, then it is better to do this way.
I agree, modern houses are fine but they're so uninspired. I loved the cabinets in the preview and was immediately like, "Aaaand those are all gonna get thrown out."
These videos are really good! You have great content, if not the best content when it comes to home flips. The only suggestion I have is to get a better mic for narration. You don't have to have the video of yourself. The audio is all you need. Keep up the good work!
Well it is good for another hundred years now. I know I am the exception but I love greys especially with wood and lots of white trim. It is timeless and pretty neutral too. Love it.
The transformation of the house was incredible, especially with the before-and-after shots! Such a motivating video! It's amazing to see how much value was added to the property through strategic renovations, and it's got me thinking about my own investment opportunities.
Interesting and nice to know after the hard work you made a good profit. Can’t wait to see what you do next. The information you share about how and why you do things a certain way and also the money details is great. Deserves more views.
It's sad that you took an old home and "modernized it with vinyl flooring and ugly boring colors. At least use real wood flooring and some better colors. Everything is white, grey, black, and beige nowadays.
This is so awesome! Just shows that you can learn all this from your channel and others on CZcams and a little effort!! Great video, you're helping so many people!
Currently in a small town in south central Minnesota, houses still selling for around 20k in our town. Yes of course they need lots of work…. But it’s so worth it!
I know it's crazy! It can definitely be worth it if you know the area well enough to estimate the after repair value. While we were working on this house, we actually had a nearby city ask us if we wanted a foreclosed house for FREE before they tore it down. It was in such rough shape though that the repair costs would have cost as much as the house would even be worth all fixed up, so we said no.
This was a great learning experience. Thank you for showing the entire process and narrating what you were thinking at the time. I now know the proper way to put up Sheetrock and installing sinks. Lots of good tips to clean. We’re doing much of the same things. They are fun projects though!🌺
I would try to stay away from grays. If you’re flipping or renting, the color scheme needs to be a lighter neutral color. That’s why people like light tans. You have to be able to picture your furniture in the house & tan is easier to match than gray.
Wow awesome job..and 44:10 lovely to see your family all in on it...that's a treasure in itself...well done, love the whole Reno and look forward to the next one😊👍🏿cheers from Australia🤩
One area of concern is the installation of exterior windows, you never flashed them, the only flashing you did was a couple of small pieces over the slits on the top part. The proper way to install windows is use flashing on the botton section of the wood that goes up the side 6 inches as well as down the front of the exterior wall. If the framing is 2 x 4 you use 6 inch rubber flashing, if the framing is 2 x 6 you use 9 inch rubber flashing this will allow any moisture that leaves the window to go down the house wrap and not into the framing, once that is installed you then run sealant on the top and side sections only of the window frame that will be against the house, you can dab a couple of spots on the bottom and then install the window, level the window and then nail using 2 inch nails on the top and side sections only, never on the bottom then you use regular house flashing on the sides and top only and none on the bottom of the window. Flash the right, left sides which will cover 4 to 6 inches above and below the length of the window, then you pull the slit house wrap that was stapled down flash the complete top section over lapping the side flashing and then flash over slit sections using regular house flashing. By doing this the window is sealed from outside water penetration. The way you flashed the window will create water damage inside the framing of the house.
Not bad at all, I like how you did away with some of the antiquated built ins, but left the large cabinet in the laundry room and painted it. Modern finishes but with a touch of the original parts as well.
Your fascination with grey is going to reduce the selling price of your flips. Grey is nice as a feature, but not for everything! Anyway, I'm sure you made a profit on this. I would suggest using at least a floor covering that wasn't so grey in future.
Me and my brother's first house was about the exact same as this. lol we bought it for 33,000, put 50,000 in, and sold it for 169,500. Closing costs were 16,000, and we had it for about 6 months as well. And it was also a little over 100 years old, although it took us about 30-35 days total to fix it up as i have another company to run. What a coincidence. lol, anyway, looks good 👍
The flickering on the camera might be roll due to the framerate the camera is recording and the cycles of the light fixtures in those room. It's the same effect you would see back in the day when someone recorded an analog TV with a video camera, if the frame rates aren't perfectly synced (or a multiple of each other) you will end up with that weird rolling effect. LED lights also have a frequency just like the TVs of old, they're not actually on constantly, the pulse so many times per second, much too fast for the human eye to really perceive, but obviously not for the camera to pick up. If you can't adjust your GoPro, you might want to invest in some old incandescent based lighting (which did not cycle like that) or actual studio lighting for when you're filming, those are obviously designed with that in mind.
It's a serious game changer! You can rent them, but we actually just bought one to keep a few years back. We're money way ahead compared to if we had rented every time. The downside is it does take up a lot of space to store.
I'm not sure what sized lot or it's condition but if it was fairly decent - meaning not necessarily professionally landscaped - this house would have easily gone for at least $100,000 more and if rented , most likely within the area of $2,000 - $2,200 / month here in East Texas. We purchased a house built in an established neighborhood in an excellent location that was built in '79 in 2018. Within 4 days of moving in, the hot water heater broke and the ensuing damage was over $10,000. Long story, but the first 3 yrs w both a/c and central heat for both upstairs and downstairs and an inground pool liner and t-cell pump amongst other things- we spent almost $40,000! We are slowly upgrading but I would never purchase an older house again. The inground pool and location near our grandchildren were the two things we were most impressed with that influenced our decision.
I love this. Thank you for taking the time and for it to flow fast. Because you know, people are visual, so they they get a lot of information and a short amount of time.
Every youtube video ive seen, you still have to use redboard with cenent board in bathrooms. Did u fill up the tub with water before caulking it in? Always start hanging drywall from the bottom that way u can rest the top drywall on the bottom one. Work smarter not harder. Hopefully that vinyl plank is waterproof since ur using it in the laundry room & bathrooms, too. & and hopefully, u acclimated the flooring for 2 weeks before installing it.
I laughed out loud when you said you don't like the "agreeable grey." I dislike it too and it's absolutely EVERYWHERE now. Great flip, but sad to see some of the old woodwork/period aspects go.
Thank you very much! I was planning to get more of the exterior, but we ran out of time before the snow fell for the winter. Our plan was to do more outside the next spring if we had it as a rental. But when we decided to sell we never ended up finishing some of those things!
The flickering is likely caused by the type of lighting - is it fluorescent? Generally this is because the light flickering is mismatched from the camera recording frame rate. You can attempt to fix this by adjusting the frame rate in your camera, but you may or may not be able to match it entirely. Many new cameras can detect very minute rates of change and they market this as "anti-flicker" mode. I'm not an electrical expert, just a photographer, but with the way you Google everything I'm sure you can figure it out! Good luck!
Yes that's the problem from what I understand... what I can't figure out is how to fix it on my GoPro 😂 For example in this video none of the settings or lighting were changed, and sometimes it flickered but most the time it was ok. Go figure!
What I'm really liking is that you share your numbers. I've done one flip and we operate 9 doors as rentals. I'm interested in doing more flips but I'm hesitant to right now with the changes in the market and the fact that I've got a full-time career in another field and have to outsource all of the hard work you are doing. Awesome channel and fantastic project!
Thank you very much! That's great you've got that many rentals. Flips have their pros and cons. Personally I've never done one where I outsource all the work (I'd like to though), but I have friends who do very well doing it that way!
I hate gray so badly that when we bought this house the realtor was instructed do not show us any houses that has gray. Because it's never just the walls. It's cabinetry, it tiles, is flooring. If I wanted to redo an entire house yet again for the tenth time in my adult life I'd buy a foreclosure auction house for next to nothing yet again.
The lines in your video is the lighting because of how video is shot it captures the lines with higher frame rates try changing frame rates and it might help.
Very impressive good work. I liked the video edit. And what you manage to do with the house. Thanks a lot for the post. Good luck with future projects. Merry Christmas and happy new year😊😊😊
Interesting to watch - I love seeing the before and after. Question though, with a profit of 23,333 (before taxes) after five months of work, how do you justify/compare that to working a full time 9-5? It seems a very low wage overall.
young man you better get a respirator on your face. You will be very sorry in about 30 years. I was a general contractor, and also painting for 37 years. You still have a lot to learn, best of luck.God Bless
Love watching the transformation. Long project, and with family involved ….I don’t know how you can make it worth your while. I love older homes, but they can be a major challenge. So old, you must always plan for new wiring, plumbing and heating systems at minimum! 😮Often with smaller homes of this era it’s a no win, can of worms -bringing it up to code. A clean semi-open floor plan is key to success. Livability and profit. This home remodel was ILL conceived … sorry! #1. Making a old front-porch into a mud room was a bad decision. You already have a proper mud room -laundry room combo in back where it belongs! This lost you money! You should know that curb appeal sells homes. Everyone wants a beautiful inviting front porch leading to a special front door! When remodeling you must consider the homes original design ascetic. #2. KITCHEN IS $ Here we go with plumbing and wiring …..it must be updated …period!!! Then you can create a decent kitchen. Mix old with new. Butcher block and a small slab of marble. Old farm house sink. Open shelves, reclaimed if possible. Cabinetry years ago was built with real wood..take advantage of what you have ….a little tweaking, sanding and a white washing and you can have a winner! Keep appliances away from thoroughfares. A big wide low to counter kitchen sink window, add so much light and visual space …it pays for itself! Plan on a kitchen pantry instead of upper cabinets and go easy on lower cabinets. Most home owners want a sleek open design… less is more. #3. Style …. Old with a update.. bathrooms…..Ok….tile 🧐…white porcelain marble look tile is great, white subway tile works good. Add a little dimension with a little porcelain tile trim …reminiscent of the era. I am old and love home design, you could say it is in my blood. I come from s family of engineers, contractors and carpenters. I wish you the best. Just thought my experience could inspire you! Just remember flipping houses is more than profit. Corners can not ge cut when it comes to safety! The life of a family is at stake. Your name and reputation is all you have. Always get the proper permits and inspections! A FAN THANKN YOU!
You are right, but it was only about 400 hours of labor each. It just took 6 months because we had other projects and things going on as well. Was it worth it? Yes, probably. Would I do it again? No, probably not. It depends what stage of your life/finances you are at though, and what your goals are!
That's a super cute, sleepy dog :) Question: You put in $11k each and then got back $23k each in profit. You doubled your money but if you worked out the amount of time/hours you worked and applied an hourly rate did you really make that much profit? Nice job - like your work. Hi from Australia.
I usually mute people talking on these videos. You?? LOVE your honesty and your realness. You guys make beautiful homes!!!! I am clicking like and follow right now!!!
A two bathroom and what a bargain. We built a WI blueprint house plan with 3 bedrooms and were basically run out of town for the house on its private lot. We got ZERO when we were booted out by the bank that said my husband couldn't do body work in the drive in basement we built. Unfortunately we were residents of a town that made a choice to have a CRIMINAL JUSTICE CENTER with up to a hundred new employees all needing the Best Buy available. We weren't connected, just not able to protect ourselves in that kind of power. The house is and was worth a quarter of a million, just more decorative with wood cabinets everywhere.
I like your videos. When I young my parents had two rent houses. I was always working on our own home, the rent houses or relatives' houses. I do not miss it. Now I have a lot of work to do in my own home that I've lived in for thirty years. I do admit that I love hard wood floors and I would have sanded and refinished those wood floors. It seemed a shame to cover up that beautiful hard wood. That is just my opinion though.
There is a voiceover for this video, did you wear headphones in only one ear? I have had people say that's an issue before, not sure why. Thank you though!
@@KashFloPro if your microphone wasnt just one channel on the Left, these videos would have 1million+ views, I can't watch more than 30 sec before I click away, sound is more important than video.
@@KashFloPro What ever software you are using to edit, render the video as mono, as a quick dirty fix, OR when recording your voice, copy your left channel to the right channel so its "stereo mono" as far as the current video idk, make it private and fix it then upload again but good luck there.
Enjoying the videos. give me more confidence. Question -- when do you get permits for this work and when do you not, and does not permitting the work ever affect selling the property later on? I've got a bunch of work to do but don't want to pull permits for every single thing (Niagara Falls, NY).
Great question! Safe answer: pull all permits. Realistic answer: it depends. I usually end up getting permits because it's relatively cheap and easy to cover yourself. But I don't like them. Usually you get one of two kinds of inspectors - the guy who barely looks at anything, or the guy who checks every little thing and makes you pull even more permits. 🙄😂 I'm guessing in Niagara Falls there is a big city building department that handles all inspections, so you'll probably want to get some. I've done projects in really small towns where they don't even have inspectors, so then it's basically free reign. It also depends on the type of work you're doing, I almost always get electrical permits (usually a licensed electrician has to do the work), but for plumbing or other things it just kind of depends.
Great vid. Super informative. I’m not in the real estate business and for sure not the expert but Al that grey seems overkill? Seems like that color will be out of style sooner rather than later and curious as to why you would use so much grey?
I agree, the flipped house looks bland and dull, there is no point in making every house look the same. In 20 years time those new features will look so dated. The house has no personality left. Such a shame.
This house was already a frankenstein of mixed styles. There was no getting around completely revamping it unless you just wanted to make less money on a flip because non functional mismatched crap was left in it.
So the $70k profit was split three ways and was pre-tax? Did you keep track of your hours? Did you make adjustments for how many hours each of you put in? And what did your cost per hour work out to? That, to me, would be key.
You can pretty easily cut holes with a hole saw on a drill, or you can use tin snips if the hole is on the edge of the plank. Also, an oscillator tool is very helpful in general and also can work to cut holes if you are careful!
In bedroom number three, I have the exact same window frames in my own bedroom windows. It’s actually a semi-similarly designed room as well but not as similar as the windows.
I recently purchased a 1947 home in upstate New York that’s kind of a monster house. It’s got four holes in the roof. It needs a new roof and now I found out it might have asbestos in the wall because they use laving plaster instead of drywall back then and it’s all throughout the house and I don’t know what to do. I bought it for 23,000. It’s a three bedroom two bath And I need help. I don’t have any money to invest to repair it. I was hoping to rely on my credit but I didn’t get approved and I have really good credit so I don’t know why I didn’t get approved I’m looking for someone who may wanna invest in it so that I can flip it property values in this area are going for 175 to 250,000 for a three bedroom two bath.
Love the video - but all this for 70K net profit before taxes (between 4 people). How is that worth it since it took 6 months? Not bashing, simply asking
That bedroom was relatively small, around 200SF. We got a good sale price on this flooring at Menards. I believe the brand is SuperFast. It's not high end, but it works great for a house like this for under $2/SF. Prices have gone up since we did this project, though, to closer to $3/SF.

The only way hardwood flooring makes sense on most any house flip is if it's already there and can be refinished.

We are slowly upgrading but I would never purchase an older house again. The inground pool and location near our grandchildren were the two things we were most impressed with that influenced our decision.
I love this. Thank you for taking the time and for it to flow fast. Because you know, people are visual, so they they get a lot of information and a short amount of time.
Every youtube video ive seen, you still have to use redboard with cenent board in bathrooms. Did u fill up the tub with water before caulking it in? Always start hanging drywall from the bottom that way u can rest the top drywall on the bottom one. Work smarter not harder. Hopefully that vinyl plank is waterproof since ur using it in the laundry room & bathrooms, too. & and hopefully, u acclimated the flooring for 2 weeks before installing it.
i LOVE how your family's tolerant of your cute dog. More video's with him pls and BTW, awesome transformation.
We put up with him best we can 🤣
I’m from the twin cities area here in mn and want to buy my first house soon, you make it realistic and make sense, it’s all learning
I wish the colors didn’t conflict so much. Gray floor, white post and yellow oak spindles. Cleaned it up which is nice.
music but no audio from your little square. gotta love those neon green Tees and socks. you do great work.
I laughed out loud when you said you don't like the "agreeable grey." I dislike it too and it's absolutely EVERYWHERE now. Great flip, but sad to see some of the old woodwork/period aspects go.
They are all great love them all
My son is also a mechanical engineer and he says if you can build Lego you can do anything!
That's funny 😂 I do think some of my previous engineering skills help with doing these houses.
I like the old kitchen
You do great work! Would love to see some exterior completion in your reveal if at all possible! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thank you very much! I was planning to get more of the exterior, but we ran out of time before the snow fell for the winter. Our plan was to do more outside the next spring if we had it as a rental. But when we decided to sell we never ended up finishing some of those things!
The flickering is likely caused by the type of lighting - is it fluorescent? Generally this is because the light flickering is mismatched from the camera recording frame rate. You can attempt to fix this by adjusting the frame rate in your camera, but you may or may not be able to match it entirely. Many new cameras can detect very minute rates of change and they market this as "anti-flicker" mode. I'm not an electrical expert, just a photographer, but with the way you Google everything I'm sure you can figure it out! Good luck!
Yes that's the problem from what I understand... what I can't figure out is how to fix it on my GoPro 😂 For example in this video none of the settings or lighting were changed, and sometimes it flickered but most the time it was ok. Go figure!
would love to see how your journey has continued after this house.
What I'm really liking is that you share your numbers. I've done one flip and we operate 9 doors as rentals. I'm interested in doing more flips but I'm hesitant to right now with the changes in the market and the fact that I've got a full-time career in another field and have to outsource all of the hard work you are doing. Awesome channel and fantastic project!
Thank you very much! That's great you've got that many rentals. Flips have their pros and cons. Personally I've never done one where I outsource all the work (I'd like to though), but I have friends who do very well doing it that way!
Love your videos!
Thanks!
Having the correct tools helps tremendously!
I admire the whole family working together, that's should be ur selling point for ur videos and advertising ur business, everyone dream of that
I hate gray so badly that when we bought this house the realtor was instructed do not show us any houses that has gray. Because it's never just the walls. It's cabinetry, it tiles, is flooring. If I wanted to redo an entire house yet again for the tenth time in my adult life I'd buy a foreclosure auction house for next to nothing yet again.
The lines in your video is the lighting because of how video is shot it captures the lines with higher frame rates try changing frame rates and it might help.
Very impressive good work. I liked the video edit. And what you manage to do with the house. Thanks a lot for the post. Good luck with future projects. Merry Christmas and happy new year😊😊😊
Great video, very informative
Thanks!
I am having entirely too much fun watching your beautiful, calm, funny little furry friend. Your dog is truly the star of this show for me.
I'm glad you like him, he's pretty funny in real life! 😂
The open shelving in the kitchen was a great idea.
Thanks, I really like how they turned out!
look into single sinks - much preferred!
That's what we put in our most recent place... We love it!
Just found you and I love ur videos already! I want to do real estate
Thank you! You can do it, just put in the time and effort to learn as you go 💪
Your family did great! I'm not a fan of grey, but the buyers probably were! 🙂🙃😉❣
Thank you!
Congratulations, you did great!
Thanks!
Great job! I love the dark blue you used.
Interesting to watch - I love seeing the before and after. Question though, with a profit of 23,333 (before taxes) after five months of work, how do you justify/compare that to working a full time 9-5? It seems a very low wage overall.
young man you better get a respirator on your face. You will be very sorry in about 30 years. I was a general contractor, and also painting for 37 years. You still have a lot to learn, best of luck.God Bless
Thanks!
Very very nice job! I wish you lived in near Houston. I would love to have you fix a home for me.
Love watching the transformation. Long project, and with family involved ….I don’t know how you can make it worth your while. I love older homes, but they can be a major challenge. So old, you must always plan for new wiring, plumbing and heating systems at minimum!
😮Often with smaller homes of this era it’s a no win, can of worms -bringing it up to code.
A clean semi-open floor plan is key to success. Livability and profit.
This home remodel was ILL conceived … sorry!
#1. Making a old front-porch into a mud room was a bad decision. You already have a proper mud room -laundry room combo in back where it belongs!
This lost you money!
You should know that curb appeal sells homes.
Everyone wants a beautiful inviting front porch leading to a special front door! When remodeling you must consider the homes original design ascetic.
#2. KITCHEN IS $ Here we go with plumbing and wiring …..it must be updated …period!!! Then you can create a decent kitchen. Mix old with new. Butcher block and a small slab of marble. Old farm house sink. Open shelves, reclaimed if possible. Cabinetry years ago was built with real wood..take advantage of what you have ….a little tweaking, sanding and a white washing and you can have a winner! Keep appliances away from thoroughfares. A big wide low to counter kitchen sink window, add so much light and visual space …it pays for itself! Plan on a kitchen pantry instead of upper cabinets and go easy on lower cabinets. Most home owners want a sleek open design… less is more.
#3. Style …. Old with a update.. bathrooms…..Ok….tile 🧐…white porcelain marble look tile is great, white subway tile works good. Add a little dimension with a little porcelain tile trim …reminiscent of the era.
I am old and love home design, you could say it is in my blood. I come from s family of engineers, contractors and carpenters.
I wish you the best. Just thought my experience could inspire you! Just remember flipping houses is more than profit. Corners can not ge cut when it comes to safety! The life of a family is at stake. Your name and reputation is all you have. Always get the proper permits and inspections! A FAN THANKN YOU!
If you clock your hours as employees and add that as part of the business expenses it may lower the capital gains taxes on the sale date.
True, but income and self employment taxes are worse than gains taxes generally!
Really don't fancy the dark grey's, especially the floors. A light oak would have been my choice. do these design choices ever deter buyers?
Nice work, 70K divided 3 ways, 23K for 6 months of labour. Do you think it was worth it? Seems OK if you could do 2-3 houses per year.
You are right, but it was only about 400 hours of labor each. It just took 6 months because we had other projects and things going on as well. Was it worth it? Yes, probably. Would I do it again? No, probably not. It depends what stage of your life/finances you are at though, and what your goals are!
That's a super cute, sleepy dog :) Question: You put in $11k each and then got back $23k each in profit. You doubled your money but if you worked out the amount of time/hours you worked and applied an hourly rate did you really make that much profit? Nice job - like your work. Hi from Australia.
Thanks! Yea, we made out pretty good on our "hourly rate" too. Can't remember what it was off the top of my head, but we were all happy with it!
I usually mute people talking on these videos. You?? LOVE your honesty and your realness. You guys make beautiful homes!!!! I am clicking like and follow right now!!!
Wow, I really appreciate that! I just try to be real about the whole process.
Very impressive
A two bathroom and what a bargain.
We built a WI blueprint house plan with 3 bedrooms and were basically run out of town for the house on its private lot. We got ZERO when we were booted out by the bank that said my husband couldn't do body work in the drive in basement we built. Unfortunately we were residents of a town that made a choice to have a CRIMINAL JUSTICE CENTER with up to a hundred new employees all needing the Best Buy available. We weren't connected, just not able to protect ourselves in that kind of power. The house is and was worth a quarter of a million, just more decorative with wood cabinets everywhere.
Great work!! Love to see your dog in the video. He looks happy to be included!😊
Thanks, he's always happy!
I like your videos. When I young my parents had two rent houses. I was always working on our own home, the rent houses or relatives' houses. I do not miss it. Now I have a lot of work to do in my own home that I've lived in for thirty years. I do admit that I love hard wood floors and I would have sanded and refinished those wood floors. It seemed a shame to cover up that beautiful hard wood. That is just my opinion though.
some hardwood floors just don't warrant it though if they weren't holding up or done well to begin with.
@@savannahsmiles1797 Mine are good. I sanded and refinished one bedroom floor and it is beautiful!
He is great at remodeling!!! I wanna date someone like this 👏😄🙏
🤣👍
There’s no voiceover only music, the info you give in videos is great for beginners like myself. Good job on this one!
There is a voiceover for this video, did you wear headphones in only one ear? I have had people say that's an issue before, not sure why. Thank you though!
@@KashFloPro if your microphone wasnt just one channel on the Left, these videos would have 1million+ views, I can't watch more than 30 sec before I click away, sound is more important than video.
@@MrJimmyPenguin Well that's unfortunate because I don't know how to fix it now 😬😂
@@KashFloPro What ever software you are using to edit, render the video as mono, as a quick dirty fix, OR when recording your voice, copy your left channel to the right channel so its "stereo mono" as far as the current video idk, make it private and fix it then upload again but good luck there.
@@MrJimmyPenguin I appreciate the help!
Enjoying the videos. give me more confidence. Question -- when do you get permits for this work and when do you not, and does not permitting the work ever affect selling the property later on? I've got a bunch of work to do but don't want to pull permits for every single thing (Niagara Falls, NY).
Great question! Safe answer: pull all permits. Realistic answer: it depends. I usually end up getting permits because it's relatively cheap and easy to cover yourself. But I don't like them. Usually you get one of two kinds of inspectors - the guy who barely looks at anything, or the guy who checks every little thing and makes you pull even more permits. 🙄😂 I'm guessing in Niagara Falls there is a big city building department that handles all inspections, so you'll probably want to get some. I've done projects in really small towns where they don't even have inspectors, so then it's basically free reign. It also depends on the type of work you're doing, I almost always get electrical permits (usually a licensed electrician has to do the work), but for plumbing or other things it just kind of depends.
Great vid. Super informative. I’m not in the real estate business and for sure not the expert but Al that grey seems overkill? Seems like that color will be out of style sooner rather than later and curious as to why you would use so much grey?
Ever think of doing a house tour in the end of each reno?
That is a good idea!
I think you should put something in title to indicate you are including the money details. Maybe that would draw more attention
That's a good idea, I might make that change!
For real. What’s up with that door? Was it truly moving like that?? That is scary!
It looks like a gutted treasure. I dislike when people take the mod style and force it on historical homes. You took out the best features
The before and after was painful to watch. There was so much character, and now it's dead.
I agree, the flipped house looks bland and dull, there is no point in making every house look the same. In 20 years time those new features will look so dated. The house has no personality left. Such a shame.
The point is to make money. Quit yapping. The market doesn’t care about your opinion- it still sold for a profit
This house was already a frankenstein of mixed styles. There was no getting around completely revamping it unless you just wanted to make less money on a flip because non functional mismatched crap was left in it.
Gutted treasure lol, no one would want to live in this old dump
So the $70k profit was split three ways and was pre-tax? Did you keep track of your hours? Did you make adjustments for how many hours each of you put in? And what did your cost per hour work out to? That, to me, would be key.
Yea, we did all that and it worked out well for us all! Not the best one I've had, but not bad either
.....:) Great Job....!!!.....:)
Do you have tricks or tips for cutting out vinyl flooring around pipes and such?
You can pretty easily cut holes with a hole saw on a drill, or you can use tin snips if the hole is on the edge of the plank. Also, an oscillator tool is very helpful in general and also can work to cut holes if you are careful!
In bedroom number three, I have the exact same window frames in my own bedroom windows. It’s actually a semi-similarly designed room as well but not as similar as the windows.
I recently purchased a 1947 home in upstate New York that’s kind of a monster house. It’s got four holes in the roof. It needs a new roof and now I found out it might have asbestos in the wall because they use laving plaster instead of drywall back then and it’s all throughout the house and I don’t know what to do. I bought it for 23,000. It’s a three bedroom two bath And I need help. I don’t have any money to invest to repair it. I was hoping to rely on my credit but I didn’t get approved and I have really good credit so I don’t know why I didn’t get approved I’m looking for someone who may wanna invest in it so that I can flip it property values in this area are going for 175 to 250,000 for a three bedroom two bath.
why would you not put the flooring down first in the kitchen?
do you have to go outside of the mud room to get into the house.....two doors?
Nice job
love your work, cant wait for the next one
Thank you!
Beautiful job!!
Love the video - but all this for 70K net profit before taxes (between 4 people). How is that worth it since it took 6 months? Not bashing, simply asking
What did the outside look like?
26:49 how in the world did you pay $400 for LVP? Where are you getting it from? What brand is this?
That bedroom was relatively small, around 200SF. We got a good sale price on this flooring at Menards. I believe the brand is SuperFast. It's not high end, but it works great for a house like this for under $2/SF. Prices have gone up since we did this project, though, to closer to $3/SF.
$70,000 profit between 3 people, Roughly $23,333 per person, divided by 1200 hours of labor = $19.44 per hour
1200 hours in total, not each person. So the hourly comes out a little bit better than that!
