    OMG, I literally had this same idea at the beginning of the war. I'm glad you're being a guinea pig for us and showing this process. I personally am VERY interested to see how this turns out. I don't want an investment property, but I would LOVE to gift a home to some Ukrainian families after Ukraine's victory. Thank you so much for all you do, Johnny. 😊

    Hey Johnny! What a great idea, it'd be great to raise money to purchase more small homes like these to give people with little hope and the feeling of uselessness a place where they can feel comfortable. Maybe even purchasing the home for themselves if their situations improve in the future. I really liked the 1st property you looked at with all the fruit trees and chicken coop, etc. It definitely needs some work but the "bones" are good. I was thinking it'd be awesome to have a larger property with several homes on it to allow groups the option to be near each other. Maybe a trend can be started to purchase land, properties, etc. for Ukrainians in need that feel like they have nowhere to go. Keep up the good work, looking forward to part 2.

Hopefully crowdfunding helps to get supplies, too, to help with renovation projects and outhouse upgrades. Ukrainians are great people. It's very difficult to leave your home, but if you can at least stay in your homeland and have a place to stay, it's definitely easier for people to evacuate from dangerous areas indeed. For elderly people there's less cultural shock, too, if they get to similar place, babushka house with wooden heater, fruit garden and chicken coop. Slava Ukraini!

It's almost impossible for native English speakers to learn any slavic language quickly unless you have already learned and mastered a few other relevant Indo European languages. Well, if you speak another Slavic language then its easy. Especially at his age and I want to say it's almost too late but maybe in about 10 years he'll get it down. He just needs to go to a Russian language boot camp for 3 months where they drill it in to him and don't allow him to speak English. Its not easy to learn any Slavic language. It took me about 7 years to Speak Czech fluently learning on my own I did not work on it very hard either i as very lazy, and i started in my 30's. But i spoke several other foreign languages so that helped me. I know Americans and Brits that have been here in the Czech Republic for 20 or more years and still can't do more than order food in a restaurant. Angloczech is a dialect in Prague.

      Ideal and practical in the US or Western Europe, but Ukraine right now during the war has a huge problem with supply chains - concepts of Home Depot or Lowes have been noticeably abrupted - and, therefore, getting "inexpensive prefabricated anything" is a challenge.

    It does need renovations. But the important questions are:
    * How hard is it to find skilled labour there to do the proper jobs? Most of the good ones have moved to the West to earn top dollars,the rest there aren't so great. Can you trust them to do get the jobs done?
    * Are the quality materials reasonable cost and accessible?
    * How reliable are the utilites there? if not , you would to make the property self sustainable and have the skills to mainain on your own.
    I personally would just buy the land for a fire sale price, skip the fixing for now, wait till the war is over, and when economy stabilizes, then start planning renovations.

    very interesting Video Johnny! I looked at similar era houses in Estonia , also an ex Soviet country and the problem there was that a lot of these old houses are full of Asbestos (carcinogenic) which was a commonly used building material in the Soviet Union as it was indeed in Western Europe in the 1960's and 70's .In fact many schools in the UK still have it. It's fine as long as you don't disturb it so that particles are not released into the breathable atmosphere. I don't know about Ukraine but in EU countries you have to employ specialist licensed companies to demolish a house with asbestos or even remove small amounts of it, which costs a small fortune. The thing to do here is to demolish the house and replace it with a wooden flat pack House delivered on the back of a lorry and you would have a modern fully insulated dwelling for under 100K € you can buy them in Estonia, Latvia and Poland and Lithuania among other places and more than likely also in Ukraine . It would be interesting to know if they are manufactured in Ukraine as well. As for those who warn of being scammed I would suggest you should consult with the 1000's of poor Americans who were sold unsustainable mortgages before the 2008 financial crash and had their houses repossessed and are now homeless.Bankers are the real scammers of the world! If you want to find out what happened to a lot of those people i suggest you watch this video from the land of the free and home of the brave!

    Johnny, I'm interested in looking around to buy a cheap house in the village after the war. What is the process of getting a residency in Ukraine for military veterans with pension. I want the $7k🏠. Is it walking distance from the bus stop or train station? I would want the bathroom and shower to be added first. What is the realtor info?

  • @NN-qk7wn

    I don t know how safe is Yahotyn , but buying properties for 7.000 USD is probably cheaper version of helping that people and that is definitely praise worthy , but expecting and advertising it as good investment is not so realistic. If residents of these houses really came from most war struck regions, the possibility of them having a place to return to is not very high. So what are you and eventual other investors going to do after a few years with those people? Throw them out, make them pay some crazy rents? Just me thinking loudly, no beef. Also to make a bathroom , toilet in the first house for 1.000 USD is a bit of a fairy tale.

Or even place 2 or 3 on some of these lots like the first one with the fruit trees.

Many people in Ukraine nowadays would want to buy a house like that because they've got nowhere to go. They would renovate it and live peacefully there, not to mention eat fruits and veggies from their own garden. Now about the outhouse/toilet, many people in Ukraine live like that, even work going out to the toilet at the end of the backyard.

    There's a law in Ukrain saying that real estate transaction are obsolete in catastrophic situations ( that was meant for flooding, earthquake, ....) & I guess that war is also concerned even if it's not state directly in the law. Moreover the country got empty and many of those who left won't get back even if peace comes back. It's still a big risk for investing there especially in the neighbourhood & prices will go down in winter ( there was always a cyclical trend in this market regardless of currency devaluation).

I wonder about the legality that even if “title offices” are open it could be like American title companies that aren’t part of the government and simply operating outside of the law in order to stay in business and keep making money. I also find carpet bagging to be somewhat tasteless. Throughout history people generally disapprove of the practice.

    How do people not see this as un ethical? Profiting from the plight of locals fleeing from a war? Let the local economy dictate the price of housing. So locals working locally can afford to live there. All the people from rich countries want to retire there because the same thing caused them to not be able to afford to retire where they lived there entire life. If you really want to help the local Ukrainian population buy some made in Ukraine products. Or even rent a cottage from a local in Ukraine not some foreign rich dude. This smacks of rich getting richer on the backs of the working poor. There is going to be a housing shortage at the end of the war when people return from exile.

The only way for him to learn now would be to live in a villiage with no English speakers for a year.

IN this case you just repeat the same Ukrainian and Russian words over and over.
