    This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ruclips.net/user/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.

    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.

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

    That kitchen backsplash was too much, in a bad way. And I like bold. Not afraid to paint my whole living room a bright color that I want to go with my home theme. Or wallpaper. But that tile made my eyes cross. Also not crazy about the exterior color. Black on black in my opinion is too heavy even though it is a big house. I think a cooler color would have been better. After all you are in Texas and in the southern part of the state.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    • @probablynot1368
      @probablynot1368 3 года назад

      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.

    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 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.

    It's definitely a lot better than it's dilapidated condition but I personally feel they dropped the ball on the outside pillars, they're so skimpy & not in proportion to the house plus there needed to be a contrast color on the outside. Even though I really like the modern dark color, there should've been a statement pop of color on the front door or something? And lastly the footprint of the master bedroom is entirely too big compared to that teeny tiny bathroom! They should've taken a couple feet from the bedroom and did amazing walk in closet & master bath that fit with the size of that bedroom. I liked everything else.

    The uneven distribution of wealth in the US has gotten WAY out of hand. Part of the problem is the greedy & underhanded practice of "house flipping". This is one of the reasons many hard-working Americans are precluded from being able to afford their own home. The only fair & equitable way for the Government to 'repair' home ownership & make it more attainable, would be to put a limit on how many residential properties that one person can own, at any one time. The limit should be two. Ideally this would allow individual owners to have a home & vacation property. The capitalistic idea of buying properties at a low price, fixing them up, then gouging home buyers by selling them at an inflated amount$. House Flippers are also notorious for taking advantage of distressed homeowners who HAVE to sell or were unable to keep up on their home maintenance. Granted there may be some actual work done by the "flipper", but for all intense & purposes, it a case of obtaining money without actually earning it. This is not fair to working-class people, especially if they are on a fixed income. Everyone should be able to attain the quintessential "American Dream". Another way to put it would be to say we ALL deserve a piece of the "pie", but NOT more than two slices.
