Thanks for watching! Addressing your concerns…Yes, we will add blinds (that’s a perfect use for the extra cash in the budget). I probably won’t do all the backslash but we may add something behind the stove to protect the drywall. We do not have a mortgage on the property as we paid cash. I also understand that things CAN go wrong with renting, but the possible upside and cash flow we would make from renting is worth the risk. All potential tenants will go through a rigorous background, credit and reference check to ensure they are a good match for our home. I’m well aware of the horror stories of nightmare tenants, but I’m also aware they are plenty of great humans out there that just need a comfortable and affordable place to live. South Carolina (where we live and where the house is located) is also very landlord friendly, so if it ever came down to it, eviction is extremely quick and easy. Selling the house would only net us about $40k but renting would net us about $16k per year after property management fees and taxes (conservatively). Even if we rented it for one year and the first tenant did $16k in damages (extremely unlikely) we would still have another year of appreciation on the home if we chose to sell at that time. I’ve done the math, talked to the professionals and renting just makes sense. Yes, there’s risk…but good things require a decent amount of risk. Imagine if we rented it for 10 years to a great tenant and had zero issues? That would be $160,000 in rental income (assuming we never increased the rent) and the house would likely double in value by then (if not more). Anyway, thanks for all the comments and concerns! We are glad to be done with it 😂
I remember when wifey didn't like the flipping game? Do you get to say I told you so often? If not, here's an opportunity. :P Haven't been flipping for a year after moving but thought of you guys when I recently sold a few items.
Might consider adding a shower door instead of a shower curtain. The concern I always have is if the renter is aware of not getting the curtain closed all the way and potentially causing water damage.
As a property manager, I would highly recommend you install window blinds if you're going to rent the house. It will prevent new tenants from hanging blankets or sheets in the windows (ugly eyesores!) and adding unwanted holes. It also helps to not have the tenants do it and really mess it up if they don't know how to hang them. Nice job on the whole place.
Agreed. I was going to suggest some bamboo blinds, to add warmth to the look, but I'm wondering if that's a mistake for a rental, due to the fact they would harbor odors. They also can be rather see-through at night unless you get lined ones. For a rental, I guess the vinyl blinds might be best, but they could always get some wood-tone vinyl ones to add warmth to the space - both esthetically and literally.
Pro tip...with your $600 surplus, you could purchase and install 2" window blinds for your future tenants. You could also install some floating shelves in the kitchen above the cabinets adjacent to the refrigerator. And, I recommend putting screen material in the ventilation for under the house off the carport before critters move in. Great job on the upgrades/repairs! Now get that house rented and a performing asset for you both.
I learned a landlord trick from my real estate professor in college who owns over 50 rentals. He said whenever you’re showing the rental to a potential renter, discreetly look at the inside of their car. If they keep their car clean and tidy, they’re probably also going to keep the house clean, tidy, and in good shape as well! Just thought I’d give you that tip. And to all the opinions about renting the house out. Renting a house is much different in your situation (owning it in cash) both financially and mentally, compared to the property being leveraged. Y’all keep doing you cause whatever you’re doing is working!
I purchased a similar house after a divorce 20 years ago. Single mom with no help. I had to figure it all out with a couple of books and limited internet. Congrats!
Please make sure to vet renters very carefully! I had a rental home where they stopped paying and I could not get them out! I lost over $20K and they trashed the house when they were evicted. I wasn’t allowed to turn off water or electricity either. They had children so they knew a landlord would not be able to do anything. This was also a flip house that my husband worked so hard on. We got a court judgement and never collected a penny. There are people out there that know just how to work the system.
It’s me lilflowerbre from whatnot! I just wanted to say, completing a flip house after 18 months is an incredible achievement, and I couldn't be more proud of you guys! Your hard work, dedication, and vision have truly paid off. You've transformed a space that was once just a project into a beautiful, livable home. It takes immense patience and skill to see a project like this through to the end, and you've done it with such grace and determination. I admire your perseverance and talent, and I hope you're as proud of yourself as I am of you. This is a huge milestone, and you should feel incredibly accomplished!
Great job. My only comment would be that if I was a buyer the backyard and dogs next door would be an issue. A better (solid) fence and some $$ thrown at spiffing up the patio would make an amazing difference (at least to me, but I'm not a potential buyer lol).
Absolutely need to block the dogs' view with some fence fabric or a wooden fence on that side. Any prospective tenants who hope to enjoy their backyard will run the other way.
The old bushes look pretty good. Maybe add some nice ground cover in the low light areas & some flowers. Cleaning that 🚗 drive is a must! Don't trust a management company. Do a walk through every 4 to six months. Hope you let them have a dog.😊 very proud of you both.
Tenants will not take care of any landscaping. They should leave it as is. I's hard to even get them to cut the grass with any regularity. Some landlords here in the Dallas area have lawn care companies cut the grass and the tenants have to pay it in addition to the rent.
Love your kitchen except for where your refrigerator is located. I would want it where your door is located but I understand that wasn't a possibility.
I would sell it while it looks so wonderful. First tenant with kids will scratch your new floors and ruin paint jobs. Heavy adults will gauge the floors with unprotected bed posts. Tenants dump grease in sink. Should sell it.
Unfortunately Josh is a tad naive and believes he will have the worlds best tenants, he even says in the comments that it’s every one else’s fault they have bad tenants, which is such naive thinking as most tenants come across as the worlds best to begin with.
What is a jack legs? lol The only thing missing is back splash in the kitchen. The cooking and water exposure can damage the paint and drywall. Not cheap tho. but, a blue & green back splash that matches the green cabinets would make that kitchen pop! I am so incredibly impressed at what you have done! Are there no gutters? Amazing reno cost!
Hayley shaking her head, NO, not another house. lol Glad to see you got it finished and it looks amazing. Those hardwood floors are amazing. Love the color you chose for them. Oh, in case you ever do another house and have to cut into the wall for the plumbing, it's a good idea to put an access panel for that plumbing in case of any future issues. Just makes things easier. The DIY projects you did yourself saved you so much money and everything turned out great. Love the color of the cabinets. Thanks for showing us the finished project. I hope you have great luck in finding good tenants. Having someone else manage it for you is an excellent idea.
Great job folks!! Greetings from the sandy shores of Lake Huron, Ontario Canada!! PLEASE tell me you are selling this great property!! DO NOT HAVE RENTERS!! It will ruin your life!!Stay in your lane and use the money to expand your already growing "side hustle"!! All the best to an amazing couple!! GIDDYUP!!
We have renters already in another property and it’s been great. We provide safe and affordable home for them and they pay us and don’t destroy it. Been renting that one for over 2 years with zero issues.
It looks awesome!! I agree with your comment about how there’s always going to be projects to be done. However I think the kitchen door should be replaced for safety. The window is so low it would be easy to break glass & unlock the deadbolt. Putting in something that’s a bit sturdier would be pretty important.
Chosen Lady here! Great job and I love the colors you picked. As Josh said, there are always projects to do and at some point you have to say "finished" I wouldn't hang a shower curtain in the master bath, just install a shower curtain bar. Now, with all your free time you can binge watch The Chosen!
Nice job!! The kitchen is absolutely fantastic. I pray the Lord will send you a renter who will value all your work and take care of it. And stay a long time.
You are exactly right. These people have no idea how much damage a "good" renter does and getting a "bad" one can put you in the thousands for repairs. Yes you can take them to court for damage done above the security deposit...good luck collecting that, and in the meantime you need to shell out the money to get it rentable again. Love the story but if that is your financial situation, you are going to have a tough time as landlords.
That’s always a risk with renting. If you do your due diligence and make sure you get a good tenant in there, the risk is reduced. I’ve rented like 6 different places in my life and I’ve never damaged anything. Good credit, good income, referral from previous landlord, full background check and you’re on your way to a great tenant.
@@HairyTornadowhen it works it works when it doesn’t it doesn’t Lots of landlords selling up in the U.K. as new government is weighting legislation heavily in favour of the tenant so good landlords and bad are also punished
We have a rental property. The same people have lived tgere for 14 years. We've been lucky with good tenants. Yes, there will be repairs necessary if/when they move out. But after this many years, we expect it!
@@HairyTornadoYou did an a amazing job, the place is lovely, and having a lovely place, with the price of rent that goes along with that, will weed out some of the people who would be prone to damage the place. I think you’re smart and you know how to do credit checks and ask for a deposit etc. I was a renter for most of my adult life until recently, and I always left every place I rented better than when I moved in. I don’t think every renter is automatically trashy.
Awesome job!! You should DEFINITELY STILL ADD TO THE HOUSE BUDGET THOUGH! Don’t stop because there’s going to be maintenance before you know it when you get people in there and at way you have some ready that is strictly for the house and can still be a part of the original fund so you don’t have to dip into other funds as much. As well as it going towards taxes for it. Wicked awesome to show people that we CAN do something starting with very little! 👏 ❤
Oh my goodness, this is adorable. I was never a color on my kitchen cabinets until now. You did an awesome job on them. Congrats on finishing. Someone will be very lucky to rent it.
House looks great!! I know a backsplash is work but could keep you from costly damage. When I moved into my new house, my new faucet ended up leaking and our new stove ended up being faulty too after some use, so we were thankful for a backsplash! I think just white subway tile would look great and it’s very affordable.
Maybe use the 650 left for blinds or landscaping to add value? I would also highly suggest putting a washer/dryer in- it will prevent tenants from hanging wet laundry everywhere and it will add to the rental value- a house with laundry facilities will rent for more.
Look once more at the selling- renting options. I have had family and friends go the rental option and several have had tenants have absolutely trashed the houses. They thought they had good tenants. You might want to consider putting a condition if you rent. No teenage/ twenty something’s kids living there. They seem to be the ones to put their fits in walls and kick holes in doors. I assume you are putting money in a savings account for repairs. Good luck whatever you decide. Love what you did with the house.
Landlords have to be very careful with stipulations and/or restrictions on who can live in a home to avoid discrimination claims. You can say no pets but if someone has a service animal you have to allow it and it's the same with kids, no matter what age they are. The leasing agent can avoid certain people but you don't always physically see everyone who will be living in the home if you only deal with the folks renting the property.
I’m a renter but PREVIOUSLY OWNED MU OWN HOUSE. I LITERALLY PAINTED THE ENTIRE HOUSE WHEN I MOVED IN!!! I did the landscape around it myself to make it look NICE! THEY ARE SOME GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE. NICE JOB❤. GOOD LUCK.
Congratulations! The house looks amazing--the new flooring is definitely a win, and the people who get to use that kitchen first will be so lucky. Well done!
I think renting was the smart choice for now cuz you can have consistent income coming in especially with the housing market issues right now. Hopefully you guys find some really great long term tenants.
I love the cabinets and the color . The floor choice was the right one . As far as the cabinet next to the stove . You can put stationary shelves in it and make it so it doesn’t open . You can get to it with next door . But still have the shelves . I have mine that way and it works out much better .
Beautiful house!! I know that there are a lot of comments here about renters destroying property but as a lifelong renter, I have always taken good care of the homes I have rented and have always gotten my full security deposit back.... but I personally wouldn't rent the flip house because I could never enjoy the backyard with those two little dogs non-stop barking..
Amazing job. So clean and nice. There are companies that will spray a finish on the concrete, and it is sooo worth it (car ports, garages, patios). So worth it! And will look even better! Great job!!!! Congrats on finishing ..🎉
A tiled backsplash would REALLY elevate that beautiful kitchen and been the final finishing touch it needed imo!😉. Also defiantly add blinds on the windows. Hope you find a great tenant- you all did an awesome job!! Cheers from the Upstate SC ✨
I'd look into some type of privacy blind, fence, wall, etc to block the neighbor dogs. Your renters can't even sit outside without being bombarded by barking. 😂😂😂
When we bought our house 5 years ago, they had that ugly ass green carpet on the front porch and downstairs on our backporch. It was awful! My husband and I pulled it all up but then we had to rent a power washer to get all of the glue off. Took him 2 full days to get it done. It was so much work but so worth it! The house looks great! Ya'll did such a good job on it! It's been such a fun series too!
Josh and Hayley, I commend you both on such a huge overtaking. It turned out just beautiful! Loved that kitchen, the floors and the bathrooms. I pray as well that the Lord lead a family to your home that will enjoy and take care of it as their own. Well, if you decide to venture into another fixture upper consider a split home. Otherwise. I am so proud of you both. Many blessings!
Excellent venture! I sure do love you two wonderful, crazy, inspiring kids. Then there's Mose. : ) May God's abundance continue to Bless you and yours. Nance an ol' Nor Cali gal.
Congrats! What a lovely home you completed. Each step was thoughtfully made with quality & accountability in the forefront. The concept of starting with your $20 investment & then working for the money needed gradually is genius! You demonstrated care, ingenuity, and durability to complete the home. Blessings to you and to your future tenant! Love your videos ❤️Susie 🌞😎
As a home flipper and a landlord...SELL! Sell and take ona new project! Then sell again! We just ended a 2 yr battle with a squatter who was finally evicted owing us 65,000. We will never see that $. And then we found a tenent had....unalived himself in his apartment. Traumatizing and sad and costly. No next of kin and the police have siezed the apartment for now since no next of kin. I LOVE flipping and HATE being a landlord. You have to vet so carefully, people destroy your property and take advantage of any kindness we try to show. Just my 2 cents. Hi Mose!!
As a Realtor for the last 20 years and a landlord previously. SELL. Being a landlord is not for the faint of heart and I know I have said this b4 to you but they will not love that house like you do or take care of it. It will break your heart. 😢
@@77_thrift You are exactly right. Even the best ones think all the damage they do is normal wear and tear. And whatever you take out of the security deposit is just you ripping them off.
Yep i inherited my grandfathers house at 15 yrs old too young to be given it until I was 18, property was rented by a landlord and the tenant trashed the house and refused to pay rent, lucky he decided to leave a few years later no rent paid but lesson learnt and I was able to get the house handed over to me but I had to spend money to get it repaired. It’s naive thinking to think your property will be in safe hands even with a property agent.
I haven’t rented in many, many years, but when I did I took care of the house. After all, I lived there! I don’t understand people who tear up things or don’t keep things clean. I know homeowners often don’t either.
Hey guys, wow amazing project you guys should be very proud of this amazing project. God bless you and continue giving you more blessings like this really amazing congratulations on your achievement with this house project ❤
When you buy your cabinets buy some filler pieces they are 3 inches wide and they can be cut them down to the size you need and the attach at the sides of the cabinets. Also there is a cabinet that goes over the fridge. You finished your wall cabinets a little short they should end about 10 - 12 inches from the end of the peninsula or you can take them all the way out to the end. You need to match size top to bottom like 24in wall over a dishwasher and same base to wall cabinet measurement. If you measure walls in inches end to end and designate where your window is with moldings all of the home remodels stores have cabinet designers that will figure out the footprint cabinet plan for you even with stock cabinets. Then you will have a plan to work off of. It's easier for them to do it in their program so that you aren't getting cabinets that you will need to return. That's what they get paid to do. I might recommend that you get wall cabinets as high as possible. They now make up to 42" in stock cabinets but I always recommend at least 36 high. Makes the kitchen look bigger and there is more storage. Crown molding always finishes off the wall cabinets and isn't really that costly.
Congratulations!! I loved when you said "at some point you just need to say we're done". We renovated a one hundred year old house over sixteen years!!! Kids really slow things down.😆 We turned a fantastic profit on that house. Now were just enjoying our forever home! I can't wait to watch your next adventure.
Great job to both of you and with a busy workload! Glad to have been on this journey with you. House looks great! And it def was not beginners luck - hard work & God's grace :) Can't wait to see what is next!
Good luck with renters. I was a landlord for awhile. The tenants were checked out but they still destroyed the places. I gave up. Good luck the home is beautiful. I hope they take care of it.
Great Job you guys! My favorite part of the video was seeing how excited you are. Rental properties can be a nightmare, repeat repairs, headache tenants, etc; Renos & Flipping to sell is awesome (obviously just my opinion,) - I hope you love whatever you decide to do And I wish you great luck in your Real Estate endeavors!
I'm so impressed!!! Wow! Very constructive and deliberate work ethos. That you began it all with twenty dollars and kept rolling that over with buying and reselling to fund your refurbishment! 🎉
Love the house guys...so glad you are keeping it and gonna rent it. I would just put a shower rod in the bathroom, people have their own shower curtains, however, I do think you need to take the money you have left over and buy blinds for the windows. Love you guys and keep the videos coming.
It’s good and bad. Renting to people you know is good because you can typical trust them, but if it gets to a point where they stop paying, you’ve got to be able to evict them. In my opinion, it’s easier to evict a stranger than a friend.
Hey, I'm pretty sure I have that same fridge in my house! Bought it new from the factory for like $750 or less if I recall 2 years ago. It was hard to not turn down that kind of price with a 10-year warranty since the fridge is always the most expensive appliance to buy then comes the stove, dishwasher, and microwave being the cheapest. $5k or $6k in kitchen appliances really only applies if you buy the high end, premium brands. You could've easily got all new appliances from Maytag or Whirlpool for like $2500 give or take by just buying the cheap base models with no bells and whistles. And if this is a rental you do not want fancy. Ice makers and water dispenser are prone to breaking in fridges. The heating elements in electric stoves will fail. Gas stoves tend to last the longest. Top door freezer fridges seem to have the least number of problems, especially if you don't add the ice maker.
Josh and Hayley congratulation on finishing the home. You guy's did awesome. Thanks for taking us on the journey!!! May God continue to Bless y'all with Great success!!!😊
Well done to you both 👏👏👏 It's been a journey and a half, but well worth it in the end!! Hayley I love the colour of your kitchen, its beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ and really suits the house. Well done painting it all!! 😁😁😁 Mary x
Thank you so much for showing us and sharing your journey with us. I'm so glad you are finished as well, but a part of me is sad. I'll be curious to see what you do now as additional YT video fodder. I'm glad you are finished and glad you showed people that with a lot of sweat and effort, there is a lot that can be done! That's what I appreciate about your channel - it's not a "can't be done" channel - it's a "look what can be done" channel.
Congratulations - it looks WONDERFUL!!! Love the colors you chose and the floors turned out great. Take a breather away from house flipping. Maybe you'll get the calling again ... LOL
I do hope you get really good quality a long-term renters in your little house. This day in the age people will come in and pay the first month or two then be late for a couple of months then go on strike cannot pay for anything and you have to go through the cost of evicting them. Let's hope you don't get people like that. That living room floor in fact all the floors she was shown are absolutely beautiful. Best wishes to you. I think that's a very clever way of covering your cost. Don't forget the taxes that you'll have to pay on all this income, so put some away for that. Best wishes for Greeley good tenants!!
Wowie~Wow!! You two did a great job renovating/ upgrading this property into a comfy, cozy rental property! Congratulations on your successful venture here! You should be proud of yourselves...I am!! Peace to All....💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵💜

It will ruin your life!!Stay in your lane and use the money to expand your already growing "side hustle"!! All the best to an amazing couple!! GIDDYUP!!
My thoughts exactly. That house is too nice to rent out. Sell!
We have renters already in another property and it’s been great. We provide safe and affordable home for them and they pay us and don’t destroy it. Been renting that one for over 2 years with zero issues.
It looks awesome!! I agree with your comment about how there’s always going to be projects to be done. However I think the kitchen door should be replaced for safety. The window is so low it would be easy to break glass & unlock the deadbolt. Putting in something that’s a bit sturdier would be pretty important.
Chosen Lady here! Great job and I love the colors you picked. As Josh said, there are always projects to do and at some point you have to say "finished" I wouldn't hang a shower curtain in the master bath, just install a shower curtain bar. Now, with all your free time you can binge watch The Chosen!
I salute the two of you. Doing a remodel is difficult enough besides juggling your other business and UA-cam! You two Rock!
Nice job!! The kitchen is absolutely fantastic. I pray the Lord will send you a renter who will value all your work and take care of it. And stay a long time.
This is not a rental rehab it is a resale rehab. One bad tenant and you’re going to need to start over. As it sits great job.
You are exactly right.
These people have no idea how much damage a "good" renter does and getting a "bad" one can put you in the thousands for repairs.
Yes you can take them to court for damage done above the security deposit...good luck collecting that, and in the meantime you need to shell out the money to get it rentable again.
Love the story but if that is your financial situation, you are going to have a tough time as landlords.
That’s always a risk with renting. If you do your due diligence and make sure you get a good tenant in there, the risk is reduced. I’ve rented like 6 different places in my life and I’ve never damaged anything. Good credit, good income, referral from previous landlord, full background check and you’re on your way to a great tenant.
@@HairyTornadowhen it works it works when it doesn’t it doesn’t Lots of landlords selling up in the U.K. as new government is weighting legislation heavily in favour of the tenant so good landlords and bad are also punished
We have a rental property. The same people have lived tgere for 14 years. We've been lucky with good tenants. Yes, there will be repairs necessary if/when they move out. But after this many years, we expect it!
@@HairyTornadoYou did an a amazing job, the place is lovely, and having a lovely place, with the price of rent that goes along with that, will weed out some of the people who would be prone to damage the place. I think you’re smart and you know how to do credit checks and ask for a deposit etc.
I was a renter for most of my adult life until recently, and I always left every place I rented better than when I moved in. I don’t think every renter is automatically trashy.
Awesome job!! You should DEFINITELY STILL ADD TO THE HOUSE BUDGET THOUGH! Don’t stop because there’s going to be maintenance before you know it when you get people in there and at way you have some ready that is strictly for the house and can still be a part of the original fund so you don’t have to dip into other funds as much. As well as it going towards taxes for it. Wicked awesome to show people that we CAN do something starting with very little! 👏 ❤
Oh my goodness, this is adorable. I was never a color on my kitchen cabinets until now. You did an awesome job on them. Congrats on finishing. Someone will be very lucky to rent it.
House looks great!! I know a backsplash is work but could keep you from costly damage. When I moved into my new house, my new faucet ended up leaking and our new stove ended up being faulty too after some use, so we were thankful for a backsplash!
I think just white subway tile would look great and it’s very affordable.
Obsessed with the cabinet color in the kitchen!! LOVE!! And those gold handles - so classy!!
The house looks beautiful! You guys did a wonderful job. You should be proud of yourselves. And it started with only $20!❤
You guys did a wonderful job!!! I would think about selling instead of renting. If you get the wrong renters, you could wind up back at square one!!
Maybe use the 650 left for blinds or landscaping to add value?
I would also highly suggest putting a washer/dryer in- it will prevent tenants from hanging wet laundry everywhere and it will add to the rental value- a house with laundry facilities will rent for more.
Look once more at the selling- renting options. I have had family and friends go the rental option and several have had tenants have absolutely trashed the houses. They thought they had good tenants. You might want to consider putting a condition if you rent. No teenage/ twenty something’s kids living there. They seem to be the ones to put their fits in walls and kick holes in doors. I assume you are putting money in a savings account for repairs. Good luck whatever you decide. Love what you did with the house.
Landlords have to be very careful with stipulations and/or restrictions on who can live in a home to avoid discrimination claims. You can say no pets but if someone has a service animal you have to allow it and it's the same with kids, no matter what age they are. The leasing agent can avoid certain people but you don't always physically see everyone who will be living in the home if you only deal with the folks renting the property.
I’m a renter but PREVIOUSLY OWNED MU OWN HOUSE. I LITERALLY PAINTED THE ENTIRE HOUSE WHEN I MOVED IN!!! I did the landscape around it myself to make it look NICE! THEY ARE SOME GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE. NICE JOB❤. GOOD LUCK.
Congratulations! The house looks amazing--the new flooring is definitely a win, and the people who get to use that kitchen first will be so lucky. Well done!
Awesome. Sell it!!! I think you’ll be heartbroken when people damage things since you have so much energy and heart invested in the project.
I’d sell too. I’m a renter, a good one, at least I think so.
Great job Josh and Hayley. This was a fantastic journey to watch.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Woot Woot
You guys killed this flip!! Reading the comments, I would agree on the backsplash and blinds! Awesome job!🎉
You two are such an inspiration to watch. I love your desire to try new things and stretch yourself outside your comfort zone! Love you both! ❤
I think renting was the smart choice for now cuz you can have consistent income coming in especially with the housing market issues right now. Hopefully you guys find some really great long term tenants.
I love the cabinets and the color . The floor choice was the right one . As far as the cabinet next to the stove . You can put stationary shelves in it and make it so it doesn’t open . You can get to it with next door . But still have the shelves . I have mine that way and it works out much better .
Beautiful house!! I know that there are a lot of comments here about renters destroying property but as a lifelong renter, I have always taken good care of the homes I have rented and have always gotten my full security deposit back.... but I personally wouldn't rent the flip house because I could never enjoy the backyard with those two little dogs non-stop barking..
If you speak to them kindly when you sit outside they will settle down pretty fast.
Exceptional Job on the house you both should be so proud of each other, and thank you for taking all of us on the journey with you both!
Amazing job. So clean and nice. There are companies that will spray a finish on the concrete, and it is sooo worth it (car ports, garages, patios). So worth it! And will look even better!
Great job!!!! Congrats on finishing ..🎉
A tiled backsplash would REALLY elevate that beautiful kitchen and been the final finishing touch it needed imo!😉. Also defiantly add blinds on the windows. Hope you find a great tenant- you all did an awesome job!! Cheers from the Upstate SC ✨
I'd look into some type of privacy blind, fence, wall, etc to block the neighbor dogs. Your renters can't even sit outside without being bombarded by barking. 😂😂😂
Yeah as a current renter- that would be a HUGE NO GO for me! I don't want to see anyone's dogs right up against my fence!!
@@gulfcoastsunset5879 The barking dog next door would be a definite no go for me as well.
When we bought our house 5 years ago, they had that ugly ass green carpet on the front porch and downstairs on our backporch. It was awful! My husband and I pulled it all up but then we had to rent a power washer to get all of the glue off. Took him 2 full days to get it done. It was so much work but so worth it! The house looks great! Ya'll did such a good job on it! It's been such a fun series too!
Sooo beautiful! You've done a great job and I still think you need your own HGTV show.
Josh and Hayley, I commend you both on such a huge overtaking. It turned out just beautiful! Loved that kitchen, the floors and the bathrooms. I pray as well that the Lord lead a family to your home that will enjoy and take care of it as their own. Well, if you decide to venture into another fixture upper consider a split home. Otherwise. I am so proud of you both. Many blessings!
Jeez..what a difference areas make…that house here in California would cost 1.2 million…no joke!
I love the floors but my favorite is the cabinet color you picked. Great job on the Reno!
Congrats on finishing the house! You guys did a great job!! Hope you find a wonderful, long term renter.
Excellent venture! I sure do love you two wonderful, crazy, inspiring kids. Then there's Mose. : ) May God's abundance continue to Bless you and yours. Nance an ol' Nor Cali gal.
Congrats! What a lovely home you completed. Each step was thoughtfully made with quality & accountability in the forefront. The concept of starting with your $20 investment & then working for the money needed gradually is genius! You demonstrated care, ingenuity, and durability to complete the home. Blessings to you and to your future tenant! Love your videos ❤️Susie 🌞😎
As a home flipper and a landlord...SELL! Sell and take ona new project! Then sell again! We just ended a 2 yr battle with a squatter who was finally evicted owing us 65,000. We will never see that $. And then we found a tenent had....unalived himself in his apartment. Traumatizing and sad and costly. No next of kin and the police have siezed the apartment for now since no next of kin. I LOVE flipping and HATE being a landlord. You have to vet so carefully, people destroy your property and take advantage of any kindness we try to show. Just my 2 cents. Hi Mose!!
As a Realtor for the last 20 years and a landlord previously. SELL. Being a landlord is not for the faint of heart and I know I have said this b4 to you but they will not love that house like you do or take care of it. It will break your heart. 😢

You are exactly right. Even the best ones think all the damage they do is normal wear and tear. And whatever you take out of the security deposit is just you ripping them off.
Yep i inherited my grandfathers house at 15 yrs old too young to be given it until I was 18, property was rented by a landlord and the tenant trashed the house and refused to pay rent, lucky he decided to leave a few years later no rent paid but lesson learnt and I was able to get the house handed over to me but I had to spend money to get it repaired. It’s naive thinking to think your property will be in safe hands even with a property agent.
I haven’t rented in many, many years, but when I did I took care of the house. After all, I lived there! I don’t understand people who tear up things or don’t keep things clean. I know homeowners often don’t either.
I'm so glad that, since you decided to rent, that you have someone you can really rely on to manage the rental for you. 😊
Hey guys, wow amazing project you guys should be very proud of this amazing project. God bless you and continue giving you more blessings like this really amazing congratulations on your achievement with this house project ❤
The house looks great. You two did an amazing job and it looks like you still love each other! Kisses for Mose!
Standing Ovation guys! Nicely done on your flipping house journey!
When you buy your cabinets buy some filler pieces they are 3 inches wide and they can be cut them down to the size you need and the attach at the sides of the cabinets. Also there is a cabinet that goes over the fridge. You finished your wall cabinets a little short they should end about 10 - 12 inches from the end of the peninsula or you can take them all the way out to the end. You need to match size top to bottom like 24in wall over a dishwasher and same base to wall cabinet measurement. If you measure walls in inches end to end and designate where your window is with moldings all of the home remodels stores have cabinet designers that will figure out the footprint cabinet plan for you even with stock cabinets. Then you will have a plan to work off of. It's easier for them to do it in their program so that you aren't getting cabinets that you will need to return. That's what they get paid to do. I might recommend that you get wall cabinets as high as possible. They now make up to 42" in stock cabinets but I always recommend at least 36 high. Makes the kitchen look bigger and there is more storage. Crown molding always finishes off the wall cabinets and isn't really that costly.
You guys did a great job. The kitchen looks awesome. I love the green cabinets and I really didn't think I liked green
Renting it is the best idea, with the market right now. The value is only going to increase. Good job 👍 Please keep us posted for the future. ❤
Congratulations!! I loved when you said "at some point you just need to say we're done". We renovated a one hundred year old house over sixteen years!!! Kids really slow things down.😆 We turned a fantastic profit on that house. Now were just enjoying our forever home! I can't wait to watch your next adventure.
Great job to both of you and with a busy workload! Glad to have been on this journey with you. House looks great! And it def was not beginners luck - hard work & God's grace :) Can't wait to see what is next!
Good luck with renters. I was a landlord for awhile. The tenants were checked out but they still destroyed the places. I gave up. Good luck the home is beautiful. I hope they take care of it.
Wow, this is amazing!!!
It is encouraging to anyone who wants to buy a fixer upper and fund the work by flipping things. You guys are awesome.
Great Job you guys! My favorite part of the video was seeing how excited you are. Rental properties can be a nightmare, repeat repairs, headache tenants, etc; Renos & Flipping to sell is awesome (obviously just my opinion,) - I hope you love whatever you decide to do And I wish you great luck in your Real Estate endeavors!
My brother-in-law had 3 rentals and he always fixed them.The way that he would want to live in he is.The kitchen is my favorite I love the grand❤
Congrats on your Reno. So impressive and fun to follow along!
I'm so impressed!!! Wow! Very constructive and deliberate work ethos. That you began it all with twenty dollars and kept rolling that over with buying and reselling to fund your refurbishment! 🎉
House looks great, The kitchen cabinet color looks awesome and my favorite part.
Yes it's beautiful
Love the house guys...so glad you are keeping it and gonna rent it. I would just put a shower rod in the bathroom, people have their own shower curtains, however, I do think you need to take the money you have left over and buy blinds for the windows. Love you guys and keep the videos coming.
Great job! The floor refinish is my favorite, the color stain you chose is excellent. I like the kitchen cabinet color, too.
It looks amazing!!!! It would be so cool if a viewer or a person from your church rents it. It would be great to know your renters.
It’s good and bad. Renting to people you know is good because you can typical trust them, but if it gets to a point where they stop paying, you’ve got to be able to evict them. In my opinion, it’s easier to evict a stranger than a friend.
@@HairyTornado but then again hopefully someone you know wouldn't just "stop paying" lol!!
You should be proud of all your hard work, and you learned so much. Great job, and God Bless you both
What a fabulous house Hayley the painting was fabulous 😊
Love this for you guys 💛 it looks awesome!! I love the green accents
Great job, you two. You did well. Thanks for the update.
Hey, I'm pretty sure I have that same fridge in my house! Bought it new from the factory for like $750 or less if I recall 2 years ago. It was hard to not turn down that kind of price with a 10-year warranty since the fridge is always the most expensive appliance to buy then comes the stove, dishwasher, and microwave being the cheapest.
$5k or $6k in kitchen appliances really only applies if you buy the high end, premium brands. You could've easily got all new appliances from Maytag or Whirlpool for like $2500 give or take by just buying the cheap base models with no bells and whistles.
And if this is a rental you do not want fancy. Ice makers and water dispenser are prone to breaking in fridges. The heating elements in electric stoves will fail. Gas stoves tend to last the longest. Top door freezer fridges seem to have the least number of problems, especially if you don't add the ice maker.
I would LOVE all that counter space in my kitchen and envious 🥰
Why do you not include the price of the house, home insurance, monthly electric, etc into any of these calculations?
Josh and Hayley congratulation on finishing the home. You guy's did awesome. Thanks for taking us on the journey!!! May God continue to Bless y'all with Great success!!!😊
Home is looking great. What an amazing achievement - you are obviously both so proud and quite rightly!! 😊
The house looks great and hope you get a good tenant. One question, if there are washer and dryer? Congratulations on an excellent job!
Yes it’s in the garage
@@HairyTornado guess I missed that or forgot, again, congrats on a great job!
I'm so proud of you both! Congratulations! The house looks FABULOUS! I love it! You two are amazing. Good luck with your future plans.
Great job! Love the color in the kitchen! Great choice of bathroom vanity! I have the same one in my bathroom 😊
Cant wait to see whats next 🎉
Congratulations on finishing your house. It looks great, I’m sure your tenants will love it.
What a wonderful transformation! Great job on painting kitchen cabinets! Very impressed with the end result!
Man that's great that house reminds me of SC I grew up in Myrtle Beach. I now live in Tn it's so different here. Miss those days. Great job.
Great job guys, it looks fantastic.
Please please concentrate on your booth, would love to see more of it x
So great guys!! Awesome work!! It would be so fun to see you take the surplus and thrift decor and furnishings! :)
Wow, you guy did a great job and by doing it yourself saved a ton of money!!!👏👏👏
I really love this house flip series… i did love to watch it. Thank you
Great job 👏👏👍👍 congratulations 🎉🎉
Well done to you both 👏👏👏 It's been a journey and a half, but well worth it in the end!! Hayley I love the colour of your kitchen, its beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ and really suits the house. Well done painting it all!! 😁😁😁
Mary x
What a great project and you guys really did a great job. Thanks for taking us along for the renovation. Awesome job!
Thank you so much for showing us and sharing your journey with us. I'm so glad you are finished as well, but a part of me is sad. I'll be curious to see what you do now as additional YT video fodder. I'm glad you are finished and glad you showed people that with a lot of sweat and effort, there is a lot that can be done! That's what I appreciate about your channel - it's not a "can't be done" channel - it's a "look what can be done" channel.
Congratulations - it looks WONDERFUL!!! Love the colors you chose and the floors turned out great. Take a breather away from house flipping. Maybe you'll get the calling again ... LOL
I do hope you get really good quality a long-term renters in your little house. This day in the age people will come in and pay the first month or two then be late for a couple of months then go on strike cannot pay for anything and you have to go through the cost of evicting them. Let's hope you don't get people like that. That living room floor in fact all the floors she was shown are absolutely beautiful. Best wishes to you. I think that's a very clever way of covering your cost. Don't forget the taxes that you'll have to pay on all this income, so put some away for that. Best wishes for Greeley good tenants!!
Wowie~Wow!! You two did a great job renovating/ upgrading this property into a comfy, cozy rental property! Congratulations on your successful venture here! You should be proud of yourselves...I am!! Peace to All....💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵💜
Congratulations on your finished project! I have truly enjoyed your Flip House journey and want to thank you for sharing!! You did an awesome job for your first time remodel!!
Omg! Love it. Totally agree that the kitchen is the best part. Love the colors and new configuration. Good job!!
Absolutely an amazing video, it’s very motivating to see what reselling can do $$$
