I absolutely love this place!!! It has a ton of potential! I'm so excited to see you guys restore it! I'm also super interested in how it being a historical property effects the whole process. Good luck you guys!! I already know the house will be so beautiful when you are finished with it 🤩🥳🏡
Interesting concept, but more interested in taking one of those old fixerup house, and return it into a one large single family home. I am interesting to take one section at a time, and move into one of the apartment while I still fixing up the rest of the house.
I think making it into four larger units with storage for the tenants is a great idea! My husband and I live in RI and want to sell our home and looking for a rental but they are small and expensive with no storage. The price range for a 2-3 bedroom her is anywhere from $1800-$2400/mo. Rentals are ridiculous!
Yay for saving the house! You mentioned possibly Bnbing it: I don't know about your area, but at least in mine Airbnbs and vacation homes are absolutely destroying our home market. There aren't even semi-affordable rentals for people working more entry-level jobs. This is creating a big job shortage because those people can't afford to live here anymore. So now places like little shops, restaurants etc have had to shorten their hours or close. My point being, if you really wanting to do that house on Airbnb, maybe only do 1 or 2 units, and then still have the other 2 as long-term units. Just a thought :)
👏👏👏 Congratulations, you sound like you know what you’re doing. Looking forward to following every step in the renovation of this gem of a house. You do have your work cut out for you! 🌸
I think it is pretty and I like the layout as it is. People need small efficiency places to rent. Everything is being turned into luxury Air BNB properties for the wealthy on their vacations. Where are the lower income people supposed to live? I can see all those units looking pretty nice if it was just restored. The only ones I can't see are the basement ones with no windows. Maybe I would use that for storage instead. Each tenant could have extra storage in the basement for bikes, etc.
Old carpenter trick. To keep from stepping on nails... do not step on boards. The sandals are bad enough but I cringed when she was shuffling around on those boards at the start....
That looks like a beautiful home in its day..Got it st a great price🙌🏽🙌🏽it is structurally sound ..beautiful brick.. nice neighborhood....Airbnb would be perfect if you don’t want all the apartments to be long-term tenants..it is a lot of work 🤔but you’re young you can do it 🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️take us with you🤣🤣..I enjoy watching you guys..so much.. you’re just so creative..and so very brave🤔🤔 I love it🙌🏽🙌🏽
I stumbled upon this video going through my feed and decided to click because my house looks kinda similar and was curious. When y'all were walking to the closing of the property, I'm like... Wait a, OMG that's Charleston, WV!!! I live on the Westside near Edgewood Drive in Charleston WV... No wonder I thought the property looked familiar 😆 Sure is a small world 🌍 Needless to say, new subscriber right here Lol
Yup. You can get a house cheap if you have the money to fix it up properly. You also have to want to live wherever the cheap house is. I would never want to live in the South, even though I love the houses there. Same for the East Coast. I hope you don't kill all the character that house has. So many people do that - they rip out all the vintage tile and built ins.
Hi folks, a new subscriber here from Ireland. My best guess is that if you bring in a contractor your budget would be over a $1,000,000 unless you have a trade cert yourselves. if you are an electrical and or mechanical trade person which would cut the budget by a quarter. Could I suggest you should install ethernet cables along with the electrical cables because internet is getting cheaper by the year and smart TVs are booming. When you are doing the sheet rocks which we call plasterboards, get the insulated sheet rocks.
your videos always popup on my yt feed, but this one peeked my interest because of the price. Chile , timberland boots before you go in these properties..
Nice house the price is pretty good too you can get the job done replace the burnt wood once it's painted I love that last apartment on the top floor it is so beautiful looking forward to your other houses
Nice house I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching it still trying to find out what state you guys work in i love the homes and area Thanks for the videos
And one last comment if the home is in an area that is low income or not. Desirable it'll be very hard to find good tenants and they will continually damage your apartments I know this from experience so the best thing to do is restore the home to its original Splendor with all the architectural details and make it a single-family home and then you targeted specific buyer
Wow, what a monster. I would guess $320k remodel -20k for the roof already done. So $300k to remodel. Then you mentioned the historical society, throw that number out the window. I have no clue now.
@@cuongvinh2687 yep in Detroit you can buy one for $100 but no one will buy it because it costs more to fix up or tear down than it's worth. Do you know where this house is located?
Great house! Good luck! Ok now to address the sandals🤦🏻♀️ You should know better! You could get glass, nails or worse yet a rodent bite😱 seriously, please get some sneakers
Great deal insist on gutting it and reframing and electrical the roof Plumbing and maybe even insulation and HVAC since they've been fire history maybe a sprinkler system through it
This is a genuine historic house. There may be someone willing to buy it if they knew about it. Whether or not they would be willing to tackle the fire damage, I don’t know.Yes, you might be able to sell it as is though.
I mean it's 27k. What did you expect? A move in ready house with all the top-end fixtures and amenities on the beach near good schools and trendy shops and restaurants? lol
@@JonSchoeller I’m very familiar with the neighborhood. But I don’t know any specific history on it. I’ll check in the old city directories and let you know if I find anything on it. I think it would have been a great loss for East End Historic District to have lost that landmark.
Your house is pictured on page 326 of the 1907 Charleston City Directory. I believe it was built by the Seal family - page 510 of same directory lists John R Seal - among others.
Looks as if the property used to be a grand old downtown mansion. I would imagine the property has a very interesting history. A lot of big old homes near downtown have been chopped up into Apartments over the years. She would be spectacular restored back to a individual single home AKA mansion.
@@JonSchoeller be careful you dont pour a lot of money In to it and it gets to expensive for some one to buy it. When you have other people stay their is always a risk of fire, wall damage etc. Not paying.
@@JonSchoeller I saw a house in garder Massachusetts, it was stunning!!! People said it was haunted. 🙄 invite the priest in to sprinkle fairy dust and all will be well with cameras and a change of key locks, security system for family safety. Crazy how cheap it was. Beautiful and huge.
I hope you will restore it in a way that is true to the beautiful features of the structure. There is nothing worse than contemporary styling in an old historical building....
There's no way in this world I would have went in any house in that type of condition without proper footwear mask and gloves. What also confuses me is the house went through a fire which means the wood must be weak and it's weak because firemen must have got in there spray the place down with water so forth and so on so, place locked up for some time which means mold is in there squatters is in there peeing and doing whatever which means bad air quality.
Cool old house, definitely still has some nice details. Something to think about was the roof done before or after the fire, if it was done before you may have problems. Be cool if the two upstairs units could have access to the attic and the two downstairs unit could have access to the basement.
Dude, I'm scared for your wife, the way she charges through the joint that has fire damage with sandals. Even if she wears shorts, at least get pair of boots. She stepped on that wood and luckily there were no nails. Good luck and be careful.
Definitely got a good deal. I love old houses and this has a lot of charm. Was this a family home at one time, or was it always an apartment complex. I'd guess is was once a family home converted. Do you know the history?
You spent way too much money on that house especially with all that fire damage you should not have paid more than $5,000 for that house and what you should do is restore to original single-family home
That is really cool. Reminds me of a little one bedroom apartment I had in college that was a big house divided up into multiple units. Is that what it originally was, or was it always planned as a multi-unit residence? If that is a college town, it might be nice to have some one bedroom units in there for students who have had bad luck with roommates so want to live by themselves. Then could also have some units for short term rentals.
I absolutely love this place!!! It has a ton of potential! I'm so excited to see you guys restore it! I'm also super interested in how it being a historical property effects the whole process. Good luck you guys!! I already know the house will be so beautiful when you are finished with it 🤩🥳🏡

Needless to say, new subscriber right here Lol
I'll be anxiously awaiting the transformation of this home to a place of beauty.
Here in Pennsylvania, you have to have a cashiers check not a regular check for a closing
I really hope you keep that first unit's bathroom tile, it looks great!👍
Yup. You can get a house cheap if you have the money to fix it up properly. You also have to want to live wherever the cheap house is. I would never want to live in the South, even though I love the houses there. Same for the East Coast. I hope you don't kill all the character that house has.

Well, you can't expect a cheap house if you want a move-in ready house in a desirable location. You have to be flexible.
You should buy some headlamps off amazon (or rei/costco) so we have better lighting when the electrical isn't working! Love these vids!
We'll try to to better with that!
At first I thought it was Flint, Michigan but the other surrounding homes look occupied.
🤣🤣
The roof was new but it looks really burnt. Will you redo that part of the roof where the underside is burnt?
Yep! Everything will be up to code
Where is this house
I work in this city and know exactly where this home is. I’m so excited to see your journey!
Thanks Lisa!
what part of the country is this?
@@rory7248 It's in Southern California right on the beach next to Beyonce. And it comes with a Free Starbucks franchise!
Can't wait to see it when it's done!

You sound like an expert Dave. This will be house flip #183 for us. How many have you completed?
Any updated on this project? I know alot of us are curious about it! 👍🏾
I couldn't get a quote under 350k due to material costs being so high right now. We sold it to the neighbors
Demolishing everything seems to be the best plan for this house.
I can’t wait to see what you do this one
Looks like back home in flint Michigan
Any updates on what you guys have done to this house . Love your videos . New sub here !
We sold it as "as is"
@@JonSchoeller thanks for the reply.
Where is this? I love this
WOW! God Bless you on your journey! I have NEVER been a handy man!
Me either! Haha
Cant wait to see the final result
Sandals with open toes and thin soles in this type situation (debris, nails, critters, and germs, etc) does not appear safe or smart. Love the house.
Can’t wait to see the future videos
I'm guessing you're going to remodel is like a modern / contemporary home ?
4 plex
What a big project! You’ll have fun!!
Wow, what a monster. I would guess $320k remodel -20k for the roof already done. So $300k to remodel. Then you mentioned the historical society, throw that number out the window. I have no clue now.
I mean, in order to get a big payout, you need to take a big risk. You can't expect to buy a brand new mansion for $27k and sell it for 500 billion.
Kenny is Nostalgic you are correct. Since they are in the business, it’s really not a huge risk. Should be a neat project if they do it
Where is city or state? And which year you guys bought it? How you know the sell information?
So glad it isnt going to be demolished
RHIANNA! Please wear some work boots to go into those houses.🥾🥾🥾🕷🕸
This will be really cool to see when it's done! important thing what's the location?
Good. I guess you can buy a house for ONE dollar in some area in Detroit. 27 thousand seem to be expensive.
@@cuongvinh2687 yep in Detroit you can buy one for $100 but no one will buy it because it costs more to fix up or tear down than it's worth. Do you know where this house is located?
Great house! Good luck! Ok now to address the sandals🤦🏻♀️ You should know better! You could get glass, nails or worse yet a rodent bite😱 seriously, please get some sneakers
Great deal insist on gutting it and reframing and electrical the roof Plumbing and maybe even insulation and HVAC since they've been fire history maybe a sprinkler system through it
All in the plans! Thanks for watching
Randomly click a video on UA-cam, then realize it's in my home town
Haha awesome
Good investment.. ps squatter are pain in neck..
This is a genuine historic house. There may be someone willing to buy it if they knew about it. Whether or not they would be willing to tackle the fire damage, I don’t know.Yes, you might be able to sell it as is though.
Get Kortney Wilson involved to to renovate it
You are walking into a hazard zone you should be wearing steel toe work boots
OSHA approved sandal 🩴
🤣🤣
What do you guys think? Did we get a good deal or are we in over our heads? lol
yes lol
Yes
Why are u guys making it into four units??
For sure 👍a deal😉
It's a really cool property, I love that you don't shy away from harder projects.
Great old house. I'm looking forward to seeing the process and the result.
videos are excellent , but please use gloves and take care about all contaminamition , good look and blessed for you nice couple!!!
Swatter seems neat and organized. Probably someone with a job just down on their luck.
What happened with this property?
Wow. Lot's of potential
Agreed
How can I see you as someone I should take advice from if you enter your worksites without work boots. How can I take advice from you about anything!
Honestly, I don't think you can. I would ubsubscribe just to be safe.
What's happening with this place?
A WHITE ELEPHANT $27k WITH $400k IN REPAIR
I mean it's 27k. What did you expect? A move in ready house with all the top-end fixtures and amenities on the beach near good schools and trendy shops and restaurants? lol
I’m glad you got that. It’s been a grand home in its day and I hope you all are able to give it new life after the fire.

West Virginia.

The shoes ARE a tad questionable 😬 ❤️❤️
But there's worse crimes 🤣🤣 good luck with this reno!
Where is this located? City state?
It's in West Virginia. If you want a cheap house, you have to go to the cities and states no one wants to live in.
Cool old house, definitely still has some nice details.
Something to think about was the roof done before or after the fire, if it was done before you may have problems.

WV
Ya’ll got a good deal! Would love to see how the home would look if brought back to it’s original glory.
We considered that as well but it will do better as 4 unit for rental purposes.

You need a good par shoes. By
I love that house. If I lived there, it would be a good rental to buy and hold.
That's our plan!
Ever had a nail go through your foot! I did and my foot blew up like a football. I had to get a massive tetanus shot and it hurt like hell for days!!!
Ouch!!

Nice so happy for you guys
Please wear appropriate clothing when you do something like this.

Haha probably. We should fix that first. 🤣

The price is great, but a lot of work. Looking forward to seeing the finish.
Where is it? I can’t believe there are houses at this price.
They're all over, but they're in states that no one wants to live in. Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Missouri, etc.
Yes there are houses all over the country at those prices!
When he came to you with the deal at a price you weren't interested in did you at least make him an offer?
No, I wasn't that interested in the property but the new price got my attention.

Definitely not easier as there are more moving pieces but you can 5x your income
