I've looked at over 300 houses in person and thousands upon thousands online I'm sure... Don't get dissuaded or settled for what you don't want you'll find it eventually
@@boningousa4390 I was looking since 2014..many offers submitted and life issues. Eventually I did an auction which was crazy, but I would have never been comfortable with bidding without seeing all the other properties..
This is why I don’t want to move even though I have to drive an hour to work. Our house is almost paid off. It may not be the newest (very old), prettiest, or best house, but we have slowly been replacing everything that needs replaced over the past 10 yrs. Not everyone does that and when you buy a new house it’s like starting over. It may be a pig but it’s our pig and I know what shade of lipstick is on it.
Yup. We are seeing a ton of very bad flips here recently. Some of the LLC 's are out of state and having repairs by in state "contractor" who just butchered it
We are closing on April 15th. Your vidoes have been very helpful to us. Especially the video about dealing with lenders. We ended up getting a good deal from one of the lenders we applied with.
Those large LLCs who buy up houses wholesale to re-sell for 50k more should have to pay higher taxes and that extra tax money should go to subsidize down payments for first time home buyers. Why isn’t this a thing.
We bought our house from open door. It was listed at 340k sat for a few months and slowly trickled down to 325. Negotiated down to 315 plus got closing costs paid and they also agreed to reconstruct our garage (it was falling apart).
Thanks for sharing those childhood traumas belive me it helps! I noticed that when parents make good stuff look bad "construction" we grow up hating it.
Unfortunately in the areas we want to be in. The LLCs and the flippers are super greedy. Any fixer upper house that’s on the market they will grab since they can pay cash for it. You have one of 4 options: 1. Buy the fixer upper at a super inflated price. (To beat out the competition) 2. Buy a dilapidated house that’s you will you will have to renovate before you can get even get in because it’s so unsafe to live there otherwise. 3. You buy a flipped home (which I tend to avoid) I just don’t know what they’re hiding or where they’re cutting costs. 4. Buy a new construction house at the top of the price range. So we decided to just bite the bullet and do a custom home with a builder that a lot of our professional friends have tried and recommend.
About time you made this video Javier. Great job, now you need to dive deeper into whats coming next to help people be prepared in 2026 to buy homes. I doubt rate cuts will happen this year.
Totally agree on the major items. Always keep a margin of error in an offer for something being found out in the 90 days after a purchase. Even then, it may not be enough to cover something or make the upgrade
My kid's grandfather did the same to them when they were younger. Took them to work in the fields and help with paint and flooring:) Question- are you able to see the house pictures before the remodel because you have MLS access or can anyone see what a home looked like prior to the remodel when the seller purchased it? Thanks!
Javier. I have learnt so much from you. You are the man 🫡💪💪💪💪. Bought my house back in 2022. Basically your videos walked me through step by step in my home buying experience. 💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
My husband and I bought an abandoned 1950s house with great bones at a great price so we basically ignored a lot of this advice. We’re slowly renovating it room by room as time and resources will allow and haven’t find anything better on the market than would compel us to move, even after years of house hunting. Sometimes you just KNOW. ✨🏡✨💗❣️😅😆

Wow!!! How long have you been looking?

Omg when he said I don't like the vibes of the house 😂 completely me on my house hunt.
This video is encouraging. I haven't heard anyone talk about being a picky buyer for a long time. You'd just be lucky to get a house under contract.

Buying new construction could also be a cool option. Or getting a loan construction and customize

Same with my area
Sucks bc you see these sellers all over Southern Cali and ppl keep paying more and more for these mediocre over priced houses..
I have learned so much from this channel. Thank you, Javier.

Congratulations man👍🏻

Thank you, Sir. Bring on some calls to other RE agents. Pulls back the curtain, it does of the negotiation process.
How do you find out if it’s LLC?
You check the tax records for that county and do a property address lookup. It lists current owner, how much they paid in taxes, etc.

That 399k house. In my area. Would be worth about that same in 2022 peak as in 2024. So that house is $324 plus paint. So $325k-$350kMax.
Javi, You really got into this one. Great stuff: I learned more about Javi, than houses! Great examples.
Real estate investing should be a capital offense
If they are LLC. I’m gonna low ball them and tell them all the crap wrong with them.
Everyone needs to do this for it to actually have an impact, hopefully everyone follows

Love your content Javier!
Great video! Informative and to the point
Love the therapy;)
“So yes”. Thanks 😎
Awesome video 👍
Hi, where can you go to see the history and pictures of a home you're interested in buying?
Can you ask if there were any killing or deaths in the house? Or if haunted

You need better grammar
Ewww, chinches!
Love how you make it so easy to understand. My husband and me are getting ready to buy a house. Thanks for the info.
This advice is actually not sound
