I can’t believe you bought that for 425,000 in ROUND ROCK! I work there as a teacher. It used to be a standard suburb. Now people are being priced out left and right. It’s sad.
Excellent Ryan's Shed Plans. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxn5Hu39f8DPIFYfBbaiOSis3qfw0nqoFp I built the basic model with its help and it turned out great . It is intensive and really educational. Ryan's got another victor! No one can represent it better than Ryan's. Thank you, Ryan's!
I was thinking it was part of the design...but they do seem to cheap out more than other flippers. For the price they ask I would want some high end finishes, a garage, basement and a well landscaped backyard
I personally love those "cage" door and windows. For me, its a good way to have the window/door open to let the wind and light in while keeping out any wild animals and other uninvited guests.
Wait a second...the new oven in the beginning of the video was electric with a smooth top, and in the final reveal it is gas with grates and a griddle. 🤔
I love how the outside turned out. Crazy weird that you have a electrical outlet right behind the kitchen sink. And there should be a white veneer on the end cabinet above the fridge not wood showing.
I think they left the wood color exposed since the floating shelves are that color. And the outlet above the sink definitely seems like it should have been deleted, doesn't even look like the outlets on either side of the sink are GFI which they should be for code.
14:28 For corners in a kitchen I like to put in 'lazy Susan's cabinets top and bottom. It helps maximize space and functionality. That's just me though. Keep on flipping.
The curb appeal and back porch look great. Love the red door; the painted brick and deep gray garage door are a MAJOR improvement. And I love the pattern and pergola on the back porch. Beautiful job on this house.
suggestion - put longer fence boards in where the bedroom windows look into the neighbors windows to block the neighbors windows. Small change but makes it more private.
I like watching these videos not because me and my husband flip houses, but it kinda gives us inspiration for our house my mom is giving me the house I grew up in and we plan on renovating the older parts like the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms
Always mocking the iron bars but in the country where I live its a good thing to have. love your flips keep doing what your doing. Your videos inspire.
It's better to be actually protected than relying on some security system to call the police, even if it takes 5 minutes for them to arrive, you could be dead by then. The bars - it'll take a while to cut through, definitely will give you more time.
Did you mix up the stove with another one? The one shown in the "before/walkthrough" was a glass top, (check 4:41 in video) the "after" was a gas with nice grates...totally different stove.
Yup Was weird out thinking I was imagining the swap. before it was an electric glass top with the buttons on the back band and next it is a Gaz stove with the buttons on the front band. -_-' just say you switch stove man.
Recent scientific studies (see recent CBC reporting) show that gas stoves are more dangerous w.r.t. indoor air quality than previously thought. Also, they continue to emit greenhouse gases even when not in use. Many chefs are switching to induction cooktops for these reasons.
It seems the previous owner was burglarized. If you've ever had a stranger break into your home and steal your great grandmother's earrings you may feel paranoid.
I agree, if you have someone breaking in, an alarm and a call to the cops is not enough, atleast in my country. The bars are preventive, an alarm is a remedy.
You guys live in hottest housing market in the nation and have the benefit of playing it safe with some of these rehabs. Really feel you could have done more with this project given the size of the home without need for any structural changes. Should have carried the kitchen tile backsplash all the way up to make a big statement. Could’ve swapped the front window for a picture window to elevate the curb appeal. Would like to have seen an accent wall somewhere. And you definitely should have added more to the landscaping budget.
There are many things they could have done to make the house look prettier, but at the end of the day, flippers want to make money, not to build the house of their dreams... All those things you mentioned are great, but they cost money and don't increase the value. Experienced flippers know how to focus on the features that really sell and raise the value of the house. Plus, there are things that buyers can add themselves to personalize their new home.
Why are there plug sockets behind the sink?! That's an accident waiting to happen. Not sure about the brown cabinet end panels in the kitchen. Once the fridge is in you'll only see the one up top, it would drive me mad seeing that every time I walked in. Or was this just unfinished?
I love how she said 'mix it up with a black fan' in one of the bedrooms and my thought was that they put black fans in ALL THE HOUSES so not sure where the mix it up part plays in. Too funny! The previous color they were stuck on was gray and now its black and white. I like both but gray is more appealing to fit in with buyers own furnishings.
Definitely right to lose the kitchen pillar but they could have reused and reconfigured the existing cabinets, especially as the new cabinets are pretty much using the same dated layout - deep wide drawers are what people want these days. Also the single wood side of upper cabinets will be the only section like that once fridge is in place so will look odd. That needs to have a white end panel. Not keen on the Boho styling, it makes a small space look very cluttered. And no Boho devotee would want a red front door! I preferred the existing brick - why paint it and create an ongoing maintence cost?
Yes, that white is going to look so dingy towards the base. Homeowners will have to constantly be power washing it, and if it wasn't a good paint job, it'll chip.
Everything looks great! The staging crew does a wonderful job. Red front doors aren’t as popular as they once were, however, I doubt that would be a deal breaker for anyone. The exterior looks really good and much improved even with the red door. 👍
I always think that when the cabinets are good but fail to meet the ceiling, just move them up, and place an open shelves below, and repaint. That reduces a lot of costs while adding usefulness and making the room look fresh. Removing popcorn texture is always a good move. It makes the ceilings look 4" higher, minimum and improves light in the room. The new mirrors in the bath are only for people of tall stature. Exterior definitely looks better on this one. Would have had the door match the garage. Like the dressed up patio. The tile in the kitchen should have gone to the ceiling. It would improve the dishwasher experience. The master bath needed a window.
@@chocolateearrings Pretty sure they could have easily reused the cabinets. Do agree about removing the tile. And the other flooring was so so. Not sure they had to go to the degree 9f expense they did to increase resale $$$ .
I think the biggest thing that I don’t think it’s very true is the renovation cost. In my old house that was the exact same as this house three bedrooms two bathrooms 1500 ft.² I got a bid to remodel the master bathroom attaching it to the master closet and then remodeling the washer and dryer room which was the entryway from the garage. You know that weird room that had two doors in at one to go in the garage another to go into the house. $30,000
Whit ceiling fans blend in and do not compete with the room decor. Other colors/ types of fans are always the first thing you notice.i like to design with white ones since the rest of the room cost more.
This is a bit of a sensitive topic, but have you ever bought a house with a neighboring hoarder/overly messy property? If so, did you do anything about it to protect the value of your property? For example, offer them use of your dumpster, free landscaping, etc.
Pause at 18:36. There's huge drips of grout behind the sink faucet. You can also see that no one smoothed out the caulking between the counter and the backsplash; it looks like they were piping buttercream around the base of a cake. Also, why didn't you paint the cupboards white where the sides facing the dinning room show? I get the lowers will be hidden by the fridge, but that upper is going to stand out.
I loved this channel for a long while, but their attempted "dupes" (aka editing cuts so fast that they hope you don't see them), the aggressive marketing of their own and other businesses, as well as more recently blatantly endorsing gentrification leaves a sour taste.
Not to mention their obvious lies... Like saying they kept the new stove that came with the house when anyone with eyeballs and a brain can see they obviously switched the stove smh.
I found Lauren to be a little passive aggressive with the partners not wanting to be on camera… I mean, not everyone wants to be recognized over the internet. Overall, I like the way this flip came out.
Whyyyyyy do you keep painting brick? It's the landlord special. Paint the brick, paint the beams, paint every cabinet and surface, even paint hardwood floors. I don't get it.
Especially with shoddy construction. Pause at 18:36. You can see drips of grout and no one smoothed the caulk. If that's the work on the surface, the work they're willing to let you see, then there's also shoddy work going into laying new floors, new electrical, plumbing, etc.
So now that the style is heading towards less open concept more defined spaces - are you guys going to switch it up or keep going with the open concept for a while? I def agree this one looks better open concept though!! Haha
Looks great. But the stove was replaced with a different stove. The new one that was already there was electric, and they replaced it with a new gas stove, which means they also ran gas to the kitchen. Why not admit it? Why make a big deal of a free new stove when they got rid of it?
Given the large investment, I'd expect a higher profit margin. Is this the norm in the Texas market? Given the rising home values and property taxes, It's expected that many who can't afford to pay those high taxes will be forced to sell in the upcoming years. Tech-Housing bubbles?
Great job on the flip. In South Africa it's pretty normal to have bars on our windows and doors for safety, but I absolutely love what you guys did , great job as always!
Why do you guys not like bathtubs in the primary bedroom? I just dont understand. Do you never have a relaxing bath after a long hard day at work? If adults want a bath, they have to go to the kids bathroom? How does that make sense?
Please don't ever paint brick! It transforms brick from a super low maintenance material to major maintenance and it destroys the brick. Duh, you guys. You're spot on all the time...except when you paint brick. Maybe try schmear if you want to update the look.
Love you guys! I’m glad to see another video. I watch other flip channels where they’re not as high end. I understand it takes you guys longer because of all the stuff you do so I’m glad to see each new video.

Not putting a white end panel on the cab above the fridge is a bizarre place to try to save $50. Makes the brand new kitchen look half done.
I'm lost with your thought here.
I was thinking it was part of the design...but they do seem to cheap out more than other flippers. For the price they ask I would want some high end finishes, a garage, basement and a well landscaped backyard
Oh man that brick feature on the outside was gorgeous. Could've kept it😢
Say no to painting brick. It adds a new layer of maintenance.
I personally love those "cage" door and windows.
For me, its a good way to have the window/door open to let the wind and light in while keeping out any wild animals and other uninvited guests.

Exactly. Thought I was the only one that noticed that
I caught that too
I thought the same thing that's a bit weird to lie about still house looks great
Noticed the cooker was totally different
Yah and plus it looks way different !

wow round rock 1500sft more than half million now. crazy world crazy austin
I suspected it was empty but you guys were so funny to drag that out. Please make more videos!
I love that you got rid of the orange wood floors
Hello Dianna how are you doing today
omg i love it and the staging is awesome, love the new kitchen!!
I love how she said 'mix it up with a black fan' in one of the bedrooms and my thought was that they put black fans in ALL THE HOUSES so not sure where the mix it up part plays in. Too funny!

@@chocolateearrings
Pretty sure they could have easily reused the cabinets.
Do agree about removing the tile. And the other flooring was so so. Not sure they had to go to the degree 9f expense they did to increase resale $$$ .
I'm confused lol. The oven WAS swapped... Am I missing something, were you guys playing a prank on us 🤣
anyone else catch that the range was different then the one originally in the house
Yeah that immediately made me want to unsubscribe when I saw that. Dumb thing to blatantly lie about.
Right! Like what was the point of being so descriptive about using the same range? It makes you wonder how much more in this video is a lie
I think the biggest thing that I don’t think it’s very true is the renovation cost.

I like that grey backsplash you did in the kitchen. I may actually do it in mine, it looks great.
In the safe is the keys to all those windows with the bars on them.
I opened my eyes 👀 so big when I saw that safe
This is a bit of a sensitive topic, but have you ever bought a house with a neighboring hoarder/overly messy property? If so, did you do anything about it to protect the value of your property? For example, offer them use of your dumpster, free landscaping, etc.
I started watching your videos last week and now I've already watched 20+ videos. So satisfying 😍.
Love from Pakistan🇵🇰
I don't like floating shelves in a kitchen. They're dust traps, and can make the whole place look cluttered if you don't keep them organized
Then keep them organized like a responsible adult.
@@cgemd7070 Or go with something less dated. Floating shelves are the Geocities of design.
Bars on the windows may be necessary in some communities?
Wont the black handles and faucets show finger prints more? And black ceiling fans and black kitchen sink show more dirt and dust?
My favorite part of all these videos is to see how insane Joey can make Lincoln look

😭🤣🤣🤣😭😭 I was like 🥴 they speed so fast across the Renos.
Great house transformation! What brand and color did you paint the exterior? Do you have a few favorite white colors for both exteriors and interiors?
Love the staging
it turned out so nice ... luv the niche in the bathrooms
The staging is excellent.
That was a beautiful finish of this house! LOVE IT! 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Love the back porch
Why paint that brick?! It was so much better before in my opinion.
I disliked the video for that reason. That house was in great liveable condition!
I agree! They should've been more creative with exterior colors to enhance the existing brick color. It loses character when u paint brick!😩
I loved the brick also.
I'm bored with question 😒, let them paint the brick bc it's ugly
These guys are notorious in painting bricks like ALWAYS!!
Love bed frame ❤.
He said, You just want to get rid of all the charm. LOL!
Ok but you guys' intro is so smart
I found Lauren to be a little passive aggressive with the partners not wanting to be on camera… I mean, not everyone wants to be recognized over the internet. Overall, I like the way this flip came out.
Whyyyyyy do you keep painting brick? It's the landlord special. Paint the brick, paint the beams, paint every cabinet and surface, even paint hardwood floors. I don't get it.
I would not pay 600,000 for that. It's a nice house, but there is no justification good enough for the cost of houses nowadays.
Ew. 😱🥴
Especially with shoddy construction. Pause at 18:36. You can see drips of grout and no one smoothed the caulk. If that's the work on the surface, the work they're willing to let you see, then there's also shoddy work going into laying new floors, new electrical, plumbing, etc.
again, missing the water line to provide the ice maker and water dispenser in the fridge
Um. Did the electric stove with the glass top get magically turned into a gas stove? What.
I wondered about that too! 😂
I literally checked the channel like 10 minutes ago hoping there was a new video!!
So now that the style is heading towards less open concept more defined spaces - are you guys going to switch it up or keep going with the open concept for a while? I def agree this one looks better open concept though!! Haha
I love how the electric stove turned into a gas range lol
Yesss!! I've been missing your videos
Thank you for another great renovation 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m guessing there’s money and documents in the safe 🔐
Looks clean and open
Evidently they had a stalking problem or were in prison too long ;-). They were keeping that safe "safe" behind bars, LOL!
another great work! i like it, from Philippines
They called it a "starter house" that they paid $425k for. How the fuck is a house that costs almost half a million dollars a "starter house"?
🤣🤣
anyone, how's about hurricane glass to prevent break-ins? impossible to smash through and nice for the overall well-being.
Looks great. Love the black and white with a pop of color.
The house turned out nice, BUT that is NOT the same stove, you went from smooth electric stove to gas! A good change but not the same
The painted brick makes the home look as contemporary as the inside. Good decision!
The safe has the keys to the bars that block the backyard!
Looks great. But the stove was replaced with a different stove. The new one that was already there was electric, and they replaced it with a new gas stove, which means they also ran gas to the kitchen. Why not admit it? Why make a big deal of a free new stove when they got rid of it?
The prison jokes were not it.
Prison. Lol.
Guys please tell me what do they do with the furniture do they keep it in the house or do they take it with them and use it for other projects?????
I think they recycle them back to storage. The first vid I seen they did so. Well pulled it out of storage
$569,000.00 for a 1500 sq.ft. House in Round Rock, YIKES!!
Like why?!!!
That kitchen needs a window or a vent hood…
Given the large investment, I'd expect a higher profit margin. Is this the norm in the Texas market?
Given the rising home values and property taxes, It's expected that many who can't afford to pay those high taxes will be forced to sell in the upcoming years.
Tech-Housing bubbles?
Great job on the flip. In South Africa it's pretty normal to have bars on our windows and doors for safety, but I absolutely love what you guys did , great job as always!

Hey you two. Always keeping us Intrigued. Love your channel.
Wait why did y’all lie about the kitchen appliances
Why do you guys not like bathtubs in the primary bedroom? I just dont understand. Do you never have a relaxing bath after a long hard day at work? If adults want a bath, they have to go to the kids bathroom? How does that make sense?
