I'm a home remodeler, and I can say, nobody "gets it" as much as you MeetKevin. All of the points you make are very real in the remodeling world. Kudos to you for taking control of the work being done, you're 100% right, if you don't clearly communicate and set up your subs to win, you're asking for headaches.
lmao at that "Super Kevin" moment with the door 😂
best part of the video
Ya I'm sure his wife was impressed lmao
She was shoplifting and he let her get away..
As an electrician & project manager I LOVE this video! Thank you for mentioning- going to get your own supplies (I don't want to & I'll charge you way more than you'll pay), tamper-resistant plugs (it's code, it's not just that I "just want" to use the more expensive ones), don't bring supplies to the job early (especially not an entire house of furniture before floors are done, walls are painted & you don't have an unfinished basement to put it in!!!), put fixtures in the room they belong in & put boob lights everywhere, they're fine, no one in a rental cares, they're just happy to have ceiling fixures
LoL love it. Buy quality when it matters and cheap when it doesn't. Pretty simple concept.
bingo ty!
Something I've noticed myself from renting a bunch of different places and having construction experience. Quality workmanship beats quality materials. I'd rather have them use cheap materials but really well done installation vs high end materials but just slapped in there all sloppy. Paint job is an area most apartments are lacking. Or my current apartment has granite countertops but poorly installed, not totally level and they didnt measure it right so one end overextends so we had to jam the fridge in there fridge side is now dented and doesn't sit level either. So cheaper materials and a handyman that takes pride in his work is what I'd rather have.
So well said
To some extent I would agree, but then there is the cheap stuff where it’s almost impossible to do a good job or it takes a whole lot longer to get it done right. Tile, or laminate flooring for example. Cheap thin granite breaks on you if you’re not careful and handle real slowly. Pine wood trim gets knot stains if you don’t use the super expensive primer. And then often times the wrong people get blamed, like when there is lippage in tile when it actually was the framers fault for putting crooked studs.
It all comes down to the general contractor (or flipper) having the knowledge and buying the not so cheap stuff when it matters.
2:39 hes talking with his hands to flex auto pilot😂😂
He’s so proud of his Tesla lmao
he does that every time he gets into his Tesla
He kept looking ahead nervously like he doesn't trust the autopilot, not blaming him tho, I'm not trusting technology over my driving skill
I mean, he should be proud of it though.
Noob: Purchases a Tesla
Pro: Buys a certified pre-owned Honda Civic
Nothing is a challenge for Kevin.
(Maybe the occasional lawsuit)
Uploading time vs Graham. That's the challenge
LABOOR $$
Disreagard the hate, you are the one making the right choice: people paying full price for fency stuff are sheeps.
Thank you!!
I don't understand why people give u hate..I am a new subscriber and i am loving ur videos so far.
Because he likes calling lots of professionals "noobs"
Me too! The advice he gives is GOLDEN!
It's the douchey personality I think. Atleast that's why I hate on him lmao
He's a douche. Follow him and you'll see.
Omg this was the best video ever thank you so much for doing a second one. I am young and am a huge fan could you please do a best beginner ways to save money.
Pro: Has a car with autopilot
Noob: Doesn't wear a seatbelt
he had his seat belt on he just didnt have it over his shoulder so he can talk. You can clearly see the belt is twisted as well as move with his motions.
Finally something useful. I like when you do real stuff.
Love theses kinds of videos Kevin. Gonna be doing my first rehab soon. Thanks man
Kevin I always order all my materials as much as we can think of and get ASAP. We put a special lock on the garage and unplug the opener. When a contractor comes I pull the materials out of the garage lock it and I’m on my way. We are doing duplex splits and condo conversions! Flip it split it and sell them.
It's incredible how much the luxury vinyl plank makes the entire place pop. "if you want something done right, do it yourself!"
Awesome Reno hacks!! Watching chivalry in 2019....priceless!!! 💯🙌
Kevin nailed this one. We flip and rent homes too. Contractors are one of the scummiest people on earth right behind politicians and lawyers. They will lie and steal regularly so be careful. I highly recommend you write up a contract prior to them doing the work specifying what exactly will be done. I've learned the hard way. I once had a drywall guy quote me. I agreed to the price. He did 75% of the job then claimed he was finished. He said one of the rooms wasn't in the verbal agreement. I argued with him. I knew he did that because he didn't want to miss out on another higher paying job opportunity that called in during the middle of my job because he was stuck having to finish mine. I then threatened to file a complaint to the state licensing board and he finished the job with serious attitude.
You have that experience for hiring the cheapest contractor and probably not even licensed.
@@ElGalanDeLaKumbia Drywall is completely different from all the other trades. Plenty of plumbers and electricians to choose from. Getting a drywall crew in on short notice is hard to do in a booming economy. They want the BIG paying jobs dry-walling entire houses not doing small patch work in a rental. 90% of the construction trade are scummy. But it's funny when there is a downturn in the economy and they are all out of work... that's when they beg you for a job and work their butts off for you. But when the economy is hot, they are sleazy!!!
10:00 lol there are no stairs there
Lol first to notice that
@@MeetKevin what a legend
i noticed that on first viewing but i'm a week late to the comment section
Bahahaa, this is something you can't unsee, lol
I liked it just for opening the door.
Listen to this guy. Kevin has the formula- I am a State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser (2 pro designations, court expert on real estate valuation, 40 yrs experience)
Can you do a video on either time value of money, note investing, how you do your calculations on mortgages and or what calculator you use please! I think those are all great video ideas that nobody has really done. Thank you Kevin! Keep up the great videos.
i thought i only lined up the materials near there location, super efficient, get a nest indoor camera to not only talk to subs on site but keep those sticky fingers away. also buy a Knaack tool box, all types of sizes, leave material on site but locked up. put it in view of camera
AMAZING video Kevin it's no bs EVERY SINGLE WORD had logic,experience and $$$saved main point. Thank you
I died on 5:40 lmfao what a gentleman 😂
I luv your shirt, testament to your honesty.
Whats your runescape name?
Kevin
Kevin, Another great video. Yes agree whole hardheartedly on delivering material, stuff grows legs. Have the material that you will need to be used that day or the day before. If you store it anywhere someone will find a way to make it disappear and yes I would stand in line to buy my own materials and deliver it. I did the same for my roof when the roofer said they were going to charge me X amount of dollars for replacement OSB. I told them I'll have all the sheets you need when you guys show up. Same with electricians, I'll go buy the circuit breaker you need.
5:47 Super Kevin to the rescue
No need to defend your position, if someone is into the "kill your money on useless stuff" he will not like your videos, and will leave degrading comments. I think you are absolutely right in your approach.
Thanks Kevin, I am continue to learn from you, Please keep posting this type of material...
Glad you put it out there like this homie. These noobs think it’s all gravy and no work. Keep it real my dude
Good choice to do those things yourself. We know how it works - contractors arrive, chit chat, break. they drive to some store. break. they come back and unload. break. "ok we prepared everything and start working on the task tomorrow"
I think you are short sighted on dual pane windows. If the home is fifty years old the single pane windows are loose, and need replacement. I live in California too, and it does get cold here. Maybe I live at a higher elevation than you. Double pane not only retain coolness, or warmth, they block out street noise, they keep dust and wind howl outside. Especially useful in homes near an airport, train tracks, freeway, or other source of noise.
Fantastic speaker and leadership skills. My inner "Toastmaster" is impressed. This guy is better than 95% of the vloggers out there. Vocal variety, body language, storytelling, humor and presentation skills (includes fashion). My Toastmasters "Santa Monica Club 21" would be impressed!
"Nobody does stuff the way it should be done" Yes and no. If there's no clear communication on what the expectations are, it will definitely not be anywhere close to what is wanted. However, even with a "clear" plan...the one paying has to be on top of the project managing it! Otherwise it is money out the door. Love your videos. As a new homeowner with my husband...we'd learn quite a few things the hard way. UGH.
I been watching your videos. I got preapproved for a 3 family apartment with a 2 car garage.. And like you said. Dont miss out on the opportunity.
Kevo out there working while my stocks work for me. Lol at opening the double doors.
Hey Kevin! Great series of noob vs pro, lot of tricks & tips! Love it !
My question is when you buy stuff for your rehab do you recomend to use a personal credit card or a business one? Just asking for warranty, taxes, etc...
Thanks
Thumbs up for saving the damsel in distress!
So good, many excellent tips, and several laughs too.
Great video man. I have flipped quite a few houses myself while working a full-time job and have been wanting to do it full time while also getting some rentals going. you provide me with some good information and love your perspective.
Thank you!!
Thank you my dude love Ure honesty 👍🏽
I legit thought this was a Mr. Beast video by the title and thumbnail...
I’ll take it 🤠
Me too!!
Kevin, thank you for all that you do! Never stop learning :)
4:00 the "hack" is going on ebay and spending $4 for 3 Lowe's 10% off coupons that are good for the entire month you get them in. I've done that a few times when buying stoves and water heaters!
Can you stack 3 of them on 1 purchase?
@@LegacyRentals no, only can only use 1 at a time.
Yep. Do this all the time. Get three at a time because usually at least one doesn't work. Then contact the seller to get it replaced. Saves tons of cash.
I see ‘effort’ from you. Like seeing that. Keep it up.
I love these videos!! Maybe next time you can add a little bit about you date, people get inspired by couples that get along well, despite disagreements or differences.
Kevin got that AR in the trunk lol
That's actually something I didn't think about doing and was helpful, thanks!
Katsprky Be less specific
@@coachrandalljones Something was a thing.
In all seriousness you're right; I was pretty tired when I wrote this. I was talking about going to hardware stores and buying the sockets and appliances yourself.
A true gentleman....
I really want to get into real estate, been watching your videos and you motivate. Have been looking at your real estate course. My problem is that I have student debt so no money saved up yet :(
Great video meng.
At 0:56 when he is driving without hands (appears to be slowing down at a traffic light) lol
It's almost 0:00 and here I am watching Kevin running around, life's gucci 😂
lol
i miss these
Love you and your vids man. You are amazing.
#1 Learn you local building codes
Good 'Advice...Franco from North Hollywood.🥇
Kevin, I’m a new subscriber and I’m wanting to buy my first house but I’m so nervous about getting screwed over. I’ve been watching your videos and have learned a lot. Is there a video of yours that shows the problems in a house that’s a deal breaker?
I love your personality 😁
As a contractor and investor, (not this channel) I approve this message. Think you and I are on the same level
Moen is smart. Super easy to install
Solid! Thanks Kevin
Kevin, I have a question. How do you become a real estate expert in a certain area? How do you research an area to offer clients the best service?
8:43 / 9:38 Referencing the word "quality" back to the previous video, I wonder if the individuals who made this statement assume that "quality" means buying the most expensive item on the shelf? Chances are that their experience with home improvement materials is slim and that's why they believe that buying the "most expensive" item is the best choice. Speaking from experience, folks- that is not always the case. Don't throw down your hard earned cash for brand name materials thinking they will outlast or outperform the competitive brands.
There are two buyers in the world: smart and emotional ones.
You get the idea
@@superandreanintendo ❤
Except the cheap outlets and switches are terrible. I always end up grabbing the “preferred”
Good tips! Have fun on y'alls date night! :)
JUST KILLIN EM KEV! THANK YOU ALL OVER AGAIN!
Hey Kevin! Can you make a video about attracting lawsuits? You seem to be pretty good at it. Thank you! You are the boss!
5:42! Good guy Kevin!
i wish i took notes when i watched this last year
You're the man Kev!
i love you energy man.
Thank you!!
Amazing video. A lot to learn
8:43 Did you click your tongue on purpose? 🤣 Kevin sounding like he's speaking straight outta African tribes! Wakanda Forever!!
@Sy Guzman 😂 how did I not notice that?!!! 😂
Why not change the water heater than let it depreciate
Why is this news reporter doing a video on home renovation? Kidding! Thanks for the free content Kevin :)
How did you vent your handyman and electrician -- good ones are hard to find.
Yup. I personally think it's rather hard to find a "handyman" or a an ethical carpenter.
Usually all of the good ones, that will do decent, honest work, charge an arm, leg, liver, and spleen. Basically they are usually overpriced.
Man I'm hooked on these

Also Kevin: 4:28
*BOOB LIGHTS*
Yesssss!!!!
Not sure how you're able to get subs to work for you without writing them a check for a certain percentage up front. Around here, that would never fly. Tradesmen here get at least 30% and materials up front, or more, depending on the project's total.
grimmy kid I love it lol
So what are these "Kevin Hacks" and discount service that you use? Or is that a Real Estate Investing Course exclusive?! ;)
Yup gotta join that hack alone pays for the course 🤪 meetkevin.teachable.com
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Really!? I Can’t believe you got so much hate for the last pro vs noob. I thought it was really good!
Thank you!!
You forgot to bring a active or retired military friend with you to Lowes to get another 10% off.
Is the lowes creditcard from your business or your personal card? You can’t mingle the personal with the business right? Love the content you bring out! Just subscribed to your channel!
Do more videos like this Kevin!
Challenge FAILED XD Great stuff!
You are soo super smart.
Total agree with u 100%
Nice man I have 100k to invest I'm looking into my first house to fix and flip wish me luck
i love these videos, please make more :)
Thats a nice rifle case in the beginning...
Hey Kevin, love your videos. I'd very much appreciate though if you could answer a question from your POV.
My friend and I are starting to go into real estate together, I own one SFH and rent it on my own, planning to buy another.
Since my friend and I have started talking about combining capital he keeps alluding to "markets are bad, bad time to buy.. markets are so unpredictable, bad time."
I know every market for every city is different, but he seems to just say things.. he's very smart but I just don't understand.
Would you mind making a video detailing your thoughts of the "market" people and what things to pay attention to or when to dismiss them? Thank you very much, you've been a huge help to me as I've been doing my own work on houses and looking for things you tip us on!
Come up to Flint and buy a cheap hood home. lol
Oh so you are coming to Philly! And it’s on my birthday.
Does your wife do any of the fixing up with you may I ask? This is a discussion with my husband and how I hate hard labor 😂 our first home I’ve helped a lot (scraping wallpaper etc)- really hoping we can get to a point of just hiring people and/or hire someone to help my husband who is amazing at home renovating...I’m down to clean and do all the admin work of finding renters etc!!
I don’t like how you was low key flexing in that Tesla lol
So you write that of under renovations to the IRS?
Depreciate it
