In this video, I re introduce the first house to appear on this channel, before the $12,000 house that propelled things forward. After a quick tour, I apply solid stain to the siding. This won't be a big series but a short handful of videos since this house is a good example of a light renovation/spruce up/fixer upper.

I watch your videos because they are honest, no hype, no exaggeration, pure in content, and very practical. I truly appreciate your approach, and integrity in the way you work and live your life. Your moments of ( Preaching ) I find refreshing as I relate and choose to live that way as well. Your family is lucky to have you. I wish there were more of us!!! Prayers to you and yours. Thank You
A great example of why having big eaves is a good thing. Keeps the windows, siding, and house paint more good for more longer. IMO anyhow.
In the $12000 house videos he added large eaves.
That and in the Southwest it's a must to keep the house shaded.
It always amazes me how a house can go from looking like it is falling apart to completely livable with a coat of paint...well done...cute little house!
It is nice to see that you show how the health of the house has been and what needs to be fixed after this long time. Watching you fill in the cracks in the brickwork of this house was how I first found your channel! I can't believe is has been 9 years already!
I remember this home and the workshop basement back when you were working on this one at the start of your channel.
Lovely
I got started the same way.
Got married, moved into my small bachelor reno
(25yrs ago)
It became a rental..
Looking back at my work then… a little sketchy, but.. on a budget.
Keep up the good work, and keep preaching to the youngsters about buying and holding property.
American dream can still be done
It’s going to be a sweet little rental.
I remember this little house. It's a nice house, Glad to see you still have it. Can't wait to see future updates.
This is where I started watching this channel. This had no walls. Then u did ur simply safe videos in this living room. There was even a special focus on the kitchen door safety. Time passes quickly. This is a unique house and hope u find the right tenant.
It’s a sweet little home. It feels bigger than it is because it has three porches. After you fill in the dirt along the back wall, I would put down concrete or tile or something under the deck. That would make another little sitting area. ❤️🤗🐝
Close it off, make a three season room
Such a cute house and a pretty yard.
Use lineseed oil paint instead of plastic paint. That way the wood doesnt rot.
really expensive but worth it in the long run for sure.
@@statewench2828 i dont know the prices in the us, but since you paint in very thin layers it lasts a lot longer. I dont think its a very big difference, atleast not here in sweden.
I remember this house from the first few SimpliSafe ads you did.
If I remember this house had a nice workshop on the bottom!!
I remember some of the videos of fixing that joint up. It went from looking abandoned to being very Homey!
One thing you might think of next time is to redo the roof line to add 2' eaves. If you have eaves, you have a whole lot less moisture attacking things like your basement windows, columns and decks.
I would cut off some of those wayward trunks on that crape myrtle. That will help push the growth upward and save the clean up when the sideways one get too heavy and split.
Where have you been? Missed seeing your work. That is such a cute little house.
So, this was the $7,000 house…before the $9,000 house. Wow! Love it.
A good honest hardworking man, love catching up with you! God Bless! ❤ XXX
Such a nice, little house. Looking forward to the upgrades!
Cute house!
I thought it looked really good with that darker blue-gray on the trim.
Cute little house, awesome job
I really like the color you picked
Valspar Historical Grey
Yay! I always enjoy your home reno videos! Keep ' em coming!
I just had to mention that at 11:15 your train horn and a train near my house were both happening at the same time. Crazy coincidence!
More house renovations the better. I don't care which house it is.
Good, it's going to be a mix
I think this is one beautiful home. If I were in your neck of the woods, I would most definitely want to rent it from you. Although I live in Colorado and have lived here for thirty years now, I want you to know that I am a southern boy. I'm from a Carroll County, Georgia. If I ever win the lottery for a substantial amount of money, I'll be giving you a call to ask you could I rent this home. You're a good man Mr. I don't know your name. Have a great day okay! -Melvin - Colorado Springs, Colorado - Monday, September 09, 2024 - 10:01 AM
Great looking little home.
I wish you a GOOD tenant, being a landlord can be a two-edge sword!
Oh , what a cool new series! I think I’ll enjoy this, thank you. 🇬🇧👋👋🇺🇸
Maybe worth turning this one into an Airbnb if it’s in town
Very nice. Outside corner of the porch needs some attention too
Looks good
Great looking house to rent out so they can tear the crap out of it within a year.
There's just something about the first house you own. I'm too sentimental.
Well.....I sold the first house I ever bought and glad of it but this was my first house I lived in with my wife and first child....so yes, it's sentimental. I'm scared of how mad I'll be if someone messes it up.
@@homemadehome5575Totally understandable.
I live in New York and a house like that in the outer boroughs would cost about $450,000. In Upstate NY maybe you can find one for about $175,000.
Speculation is starting to roll in as to the numbers on your hand (VERY nice font, btw!). I thought it was to keep the videos in ourder, but of course you could just look at the timestamp for that.
What a cute house! Can you comment why you didn't prime the outside first? I know paint has primer in it now, but I would think for exterior raw wood, a coat or two of primer would make the paint last as lot longer.
Raw exterior wood absolutely needs priming first
It’s solid stain, meant for bare wood.
I'm here
Better be.
I remember when you worked on this house with your ex girlfriend 😂(as my husband often calls me! That opened up wall to the kitchen was one of the videos I referred to often, until, we finally did our own kitchen- living header! Great stuff😊
Ha, indeed.
I can't believe it 2 videos!!!!!
more coming soon
depending on comparable sales in the area, I would consider fixing it up for sale instead of another rental. Nothing wrong with having a lump sum of cash in the bank.
Save cash from rentals.
[8:24] The wall paint at this point looks amazing! Can you share what kind of paint you used?
I think the days of finding $10k houses is pretty much over, unless they are absolute trash. You really had a few good years of great buying opportunities. Hope you built up a good portfolio of rental homes. I think going forward it will be quite a bit more expensive to enter into that market.
There’s always something cheap out there.
hell yeah brother
Nice video
maybe extend front porch deck across full width of house?
Your back staircase is not code compliant. Horizontal railings are dangerous. You need verticle pickets that are no more than four inches apart for safety. Just an FYI
Thanks, i’ll take care of it

2 questions, I paused at 12:45 to ask. 1) what is up with the numbers on your left hand? Last video you had a "2"(?) and in this video you have a "4". Did I miss out on something? I've been subbed for at least 2 years, never noticed before.
2) I'm not in Construction, so please don't take this as a critique. At 12:45, you are talking about the rotted wood, out front. Since you said that you redid this whole house, I'm guessing one of your 1st ones, do you feel that you have learned, since then, of a better practice in building to prevent this, like some kind of lip/flashing or change of design or do you think a change in material is better? Maybe both? Again, not critiquing, I am honestly wondering how your experiences have changed your methods. Have a good day.
Yeah, I would love to see more of this house too.
Don't you own the whole neighborhood or street that this house sits on or something by now? lol
What’s the numbers and letters mean on the hand. The last video you had a 2 and this one looks like an 7
Out of curiosity you spray the paint on then hit it with a brush is that to save on the amount of paint you use? or remove texture the spraying leaves ? Or is that what you are supposed to do ?
It’s called back brushing, presses the paint into the wood.
@@homemadehome5575 oh I see so it’s not just a surface level fisnish it pushes it into the wood and makes it more durable I guess ?
You took simplisafe out of the house and some yahoo came in and wrecked the place haha
I am that yahoo
@@homemadehome5575 you'll have that on those big jobs lol
When I first found your channel, you were setting up your workshop in a basement. Was this the house? I think your hair was longer then!
You are correct
So far 2 4 7
You can rent it for 3 out of the last 5 years and sell it and not pay capital gains gains still.
Are we being trolled? Now it is a 7.
Hi. I love your videos. Like seeing the work and enjoy the talking. I'm curious, what do the numbers on your hand mean?
Hold up! At 7:07 I see the curtain on the door has light houses on it. Are those Michigan lighthouses?
It’s a beach towel from when i was probably 7. It’s the lighthouses of the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
This will turn out to be a nice little rental, not worth selling in today's market. Just a nice little earner. (satire)
RENT you'll always have that income..
How do you keep your paint sprayer tip from clogging up?
It’s a new bucket of paint, has it shaken and also mix every time. It clogs some but you just rotate the tip and spray which clears the tip. Perhaps you are using messed up paint or too small a tip.
Take the tax break, tax free $.
Quick Reno? lol ill see you in two years
@4:30 - Why does it sound like you have 30 keys? You got a side gig as a janitor?
It’s my ring of house keys
@@homemadehome5575 Nice flex :)
This house would look amazing if he white, window trim and fascia was painted a charcoal. It would really negate the dated look of this home.
How do you rent out a primary residence, and renters move in and destroy your decade of hard work? Asking for myself. We have a house that has 2 meters. The front can be rented out, and the back unit. We could turn the shed into a 3rd rental, but it’s hard when you put so much into it, and people are animals.
I used to let that hold me back until a much more established gentleman corrected me. I stated my thoughts and he stopped me saying, “It’s drywall and paint”. His point being that damage from renters is almost always cosmetic and quickly fixed. You can’t turn off your emotions but you do have to control them vs them controlling you. For me, the income will be so helpful to my family I can get hung up on being sentimental.
@@homemadehome5575 thank you so much. You’re right. It’s not anything we can’t fix.
If it were me, I would’ve spent an hour straightening up before I showed 350k viewers your messy place…
I wouldn’t have made the video of i has to do all that.
Just sell it and walk away.... Lol.
Paint the foundation the same color.
It’s tempting in the of the un taxed profit i’d make in terms of selling your personal residence but it will be a good rental and it’s in a good and improving area. It could be a good home for either of my children one day if needed, future income for them later, etc. And one day when they sell it when i’m a goner it will be worth who knows what. I’m happy with the rent but now and think that holding in to it will maximize the gain for the kids long term.
Are you Flanders from simpsons?
yes
@@homemadehome5575 haha
Clean the interior from all the stuff laying on the floors! 😅
Obviously.
You remain quite anonymous
I'm just another guy doing what many do, the exact who doesn't change anything.
😁👍🏼
🪴🪴🏘🏘
i was super early to this
Thank you for your promptness.
Whoa.....why does your left hand have a tattooed "4" in the beginning, then it changes to a "7" in the second half of the video. Whassup???
What country is this where there are $7000 houses? 😅 haha
The house needed a full remodel. He did his own work and put 20k into it. Also, in addition, this was when homes were very cheap from the great recession. From 2009 to 2018 you could find some cheap real estate
@@TacoBell5DollarBoxYou still can. There are a few homes in my city listed for under 20k
All true. But on your last point I still think you can find these deals. The last house i bought at a low price was the 9,000 house, going into foreclosure. I talked to the bank before it happened. The other was going to walk away owing about $30,000. The bank first said i needed to pay the full amount. Long story short, I told him it was not worth that much, informed them of the prices. I bought houses on both sides of this house and negotiated a sale price of $8000 add about 1000 for closing and that’s how it was a $9000 house, the variables at play then apply to now, an owner that hated the property and a bank that wanted to unload the property before it went into foreclosure, and cost them more than it’s worth. Combined that with its condition and you have a great deal. Also keep in mind that I had no competition, I saw signs that the house could be bought, talked to the owner, and offered to buy the property in a way that would resolve the issue for the owner in the most beneficial way as possible. So he was able to get rid of a property he no longer wanted and I was able to do so in a way that kept a foreclosure office record and leaving him owing no money to the bank. When it came to the bank, I was dealing with a person on the phone who has nothing to gain they simply look at the numbers and go with the option that will cost them the least amount of money outside of examples like this most of the time you’re buying a house directly from the owner, they owned the house, free and clear but for whatever reason can’t keep it or don’t want to keep it. Both of these variables make someone very inclined to sell and more open to making a deal to do so quickly. A good example of this was one house that I was willing to pay $25,000 for, I made an initial offer of $5000. I started this low because I was not sure if the owner had an unreasonable number in their head. They barely reacted other than saying it sounded a little bit too low so I said how about $8500 and they immediately agreed I think in the open market with the house publicly listed, signs in the yard, Facebook, marketplace, craigslist, and everybody and their mama knowing it was for sale. It could’ve sold for about $50,000. some people reading this may be bothered by it thinking that I’ve taken advantage of someone but this is how really inexpensive properties are purchased. In the end, this particular owner was very happy, she used the money to renovate her bathroom. The reason I mention a deal like this is that the market value of the house had nothing to do with the sale price. In the end someone could sell you $1 million house for five dollars if they choose to so while I was able to buy the house for one price, the next person trying to buy buy it may have paid more or less. During the years when I was buying the most houses I regularly had people tell me that you could not buy a house for less than $100,000, I have not spent $100,000, on the purchasing of all my houses combined. The other factor that I’ll say makes a difference is having the vision to look at a house that most people should think is a tear down and no it has potential. not to focus on myself, but that’s all I really had to report on, I’ve shown my houses to many people when I first buy them, and they think and say that they can’t believe I bought the house and that it was a bad idea and then the same people see the houses when it’s done and you just see that sick feeling in their face and knowing that you only paid $5000 for the house, about $20,000, renovating it and can sell it for $150,000. To be clear there’s a lot more that goes into all this than what I’m typing in these comments like how long it takes to renovate a house, if you need to use contractors, etc. and the fact that I have a UA-cam channel that makes money showing the renovations. But I don’t see that as something that makes these deals an exception to any rule I see it is just one of the ways I’ve capitalized on my situation to make it easier. Sorry for the long reply, I use the voice to text option and rambled away. Thanks for your comments and viewing.
@@homemadehome5575 thanks for the explanation
@@homemadehome5575 o
Why is everything now days grey? The most depressing color on earth and everyone loves it. I guess I'm the odd one out.
I do it because it weathers well and doesn't show dirt, mildew as much as other colors.
I wonder if that sill could be replaced from the basement. Maybe put up a supporting temporary beam while you tear out sections at a time. Nice work as always.
I’m gonna be honest…..i didn’t think of that. Thanks for the now obvious idea.
Exactly my thoughts. It would be so much easier and way less money.
Is it the sill plate, rim joist, or both that failed? Building the temporary wall inside as you do a section works. My brother had to replace the entire foundation and build new footings on his house. He purchased a digger for the heavy work. It was less per month in payments than the rental charge, plus he was able to sell it for more than he owed when he was done. It looks like there is no gasket between the foundation and the wood structure, which is a sure fire recipe for serious rot. Aside from that, it is a lovely little cozy home for a young family. It will be great to see it lived in and loved again.
Cute house!
Purely curiosity, but what are the numbers written on your hand representing? I've noticed a 2, 4 & 7 so far...hustling 24/7?
I only caught the 4 and 7. I came to the comments to see the discussion. It got my curiosity going
for anyone wondering selling your primary (a home you've lived in 2 out of the last 5 years) lets you be exempt from capital gains (taxes on assets you've owned for over a year) for up to $250k if filing single, or $500k if filing jointly. So unless you profit more than 500k as a married couple, you won't any taxes.
Glad I see posts from you again. Regarding the ground disappearing, it would be safer for the house and renter, to have a retaining wall beneth there. If you ever going to sell it will be a major factor to have it done; for the renters, they want to feel secure living there, something to consider.
It’s the simply safe house lol.
I appreciate all of your work, you've shown me quite a few tips over the years!
I figured you moved to the better house with more room. I figure you will move your shop to the barns on your property. Smart to keep this one maintained, I recall you did a ton of work to get this house up to code and livable. It makes sense now why you have been busy and not posting. Outdoor painting has to be done when the weather is nice. The 9K house can wait, but you are getting so close to done for one, that. I adore this channel.
thanks for the tour!
I look at these houses, the ones you’ve posted and other in the US and am quite amazed that there is not more of an roof overhang at the sides of the buildings and that the roof angles are so vide. (I live in west Sweden so wetter, but still. The design kind of invites the wood to rot and deteriorate. You too seem to get quite a lot of rain on and off. I’m more at ease with the barn/sawmill you’re working on. Clearly Scandinavian vibes to that one😅
Would you consider extending the front porch across the full frontage of the house, to include the enclosed verandah on the right?
A nice idea but would mean restructuring the roof to make the planes look right with one another.
@@michaeltutty1540 i was thinking mainly of the floor. The current gap in the floor is inconvenient, stepping down of the front verandah, then walking around to then step up to the side enclosed space.
what's the numbers on your hand represent? It was 2 in the last video, then 4, then 7...
It's beautiful, dude! You're an inspiration. Cheers from St John US Virgin Islands.
Yes morr vids of house restos & longer vids 25-50mins etc
I don't like long vids. I think his are just perfect.
I think 15-20 minutes is perfect length. I’d prefer 2 over a couple weeks than one long one a month.
Would it have been worthwhile to prime for an even finish and longevity?
I was wondering also, maybe paint/primer in one?
When you do finally saw back the porch to replace the band, you can always do something decorative, like a row of brick, to make it look intentional. Instead of a patch, it's decorative.
YAYYYYYYY!!! I always learn so much from you!!!
Numbers drawn on your hands!? Teaching the bairns their numbers perchance? 😂
Also I'm surprised as long as you lived in it you didn't do anything to the landscape, it pretty depressed looking. Not very appealing....
