    2 things, I’m a plumber. After a few years your gonna want to have your sewer scoped again for roots. Those roots will work their way back into your sewer.
    Also, after your rehab you may want to have you re house appraised. The renovations should add some equity to the property.

    I couldn’t agree more with the sewer scope suggestion. We purchased our home in 2019 in within the first 6 months found out we had roots in our pipes and it cost 20k to fix. Now I recommended a sewer scope to anyone buying a house, it can save you so much!

      This is our business and I can't complain, although my husband is really the one doing the work but I tell everyone who is in the market for a place to have a septic inspection and have the entire line camera'd.
      We do a ton of these but when people call and ask for an inspection they have no clue what that actually entails and I always recommend having the line camera'd!!!
      It's rather expensive but so worth it and don't buy a place without the completed inspection, which should include the septic system and the main line should be recorded.
      The cameras to do this type of work can cost upwards of $100 grand and even more!!

    As a realtor I can tell you this is spot on. However, keep in mind that this home was built in 1960. They build homes using much different materials now.
    If you are intending to live in and remodel or purchase and flip one of these oldies, you had better allocate a lot of extra money to getting things to modern code or you'll never pass an inspection.
    Clay pipes, cast iron pipes, cloth wiring, old unsafe electrical panels and who knows what else lurk in these older homes.
    Modern homes will not have these issues to deal with.

      Modern builders cut corners in other areas like cheap, poorly installed concrete that begins to fail shortly after the homeowner warranty expires. Improperly vented gas furnaces and water heaters that leak carbon monoxide into the walls. Inadequate foundation sealing which allows moisture infiltration. Bare minimum wiring potentially causing the home owner to spend thousands on electrical upgrades. Siding so loose it falls off the house in light winds.
      Most of these will not show up in the average inspection, at least in my state. California may be more stringent.

      You can make money flipping homes, but you make all your money on the day you buy the home for a significant discount. You can't buy a decent home and expect to have a margin by pouring more money into it. You want to find the house no one in their right mind would buy. You want torn drywall, stained carpet, electrical problems, and so on. And you want to pay what it's worth, which is next to nada.

I then was easily able to pass, on it, but not without my real estate agent trying to con me into purchasing it. So when back on the market it was bought by someone else immediately. Buyer beware.

    Also when shopping for financing, it's important to watch the "points" which is a flat fee for doing the loan. Lenders will cut the interest rate, but add points to make up for it. That can add thousands of dollars, and you're paying interest for 30 years on the points as well.

You can pay it out of pocket, which is much better in the long term. One point is 1% of the loan amount. Rather than call it percent, they call it Origination Points, which I feel like is a tactic to make it not sound expensive.

    As far as u having a home inspection (subject to purchasing the house) -- the inspector should have known that the very long roots of the trees/plants were blocking the pipes -- since the water in ur house was backing up. He didn't want to mess up the sale - I had the identical situation when buying an old home in 1986. Many home inspectors are also incompetent. I always say NEVER pay points --- $5,000 - was way too much. Better to pay a little higher interest rate. You also could refinance at a lower rate now - and the $5,000 would be a loss. Buying an old home has lots of challenges - and it's stressful having to deal with all the construction. I'm happy that u now love ur home.

  • @ryanlopez3815
    @ryanlopez3815 3 роки тому +2

    This is very unfortunate to have these issues. A few things people might want to know buying for the first time:
    In California, buyers should not be paying fees to a Realtor typically. Sellers pay the buyers agents for bringing them clients. Usually the 6% listing fee to sell is a commission split between the selling and buyers agents (that fee is negotiable by the way). Additionally, Realtors should not be giving or assigning monetary costs to renovate or remodel unless they have a contractors license through that state. Inspections: We always recommend getting a pest inspection (this will identify wood destroying insects and molds, such as dry rot), home inspections (will not cover the following - interior wiring and buried plumbing, pre-1975 homes - asbestos inspection, roof inspection (some loans require a separate roof certification, like VA or FHA, banks want to know if the home will still be habitable during the duration of a 30-year loan),
    chimney inspection (if applicable), and septic inspection (if applicable). If there is an in-ground pool, always get that inspected. I talk people out of more homes than I sell. If you have contractor or carpenter friends take them with you to look at houses prior to submitting an offer. You can always negotiate points on your loan into the deal as "seller credits". Realtors do get a bad wrap, and sometimes rightfully so...

    In buying a house new or old always run the water in all sinks, tubs washer lines. To make sure they all drain. In the past houses that were foreclosed had plaster of Paris and other such products to plug plumbing. In many new homes arguments between contractors have caused sabotage. You also need a real inspector go through to discover hidden problems. . Be sure to make accurate real estimates as repairs can tun you 50% more than you estimated have A/C and heating checked and only buy newer units as old units may need replacing almost immediately

    Yes! I am first time home buyer and I am going through this exactly the same process right now. I have learned so much by doing allot of the details my self by working alone side with the contractor. It is very true by visiting the property once with the inspector will not find anything useful for later. The best thing for buying a old house or condo really is just to check the lighting and direction of the property is facing, which is something you can not change for sure. I would suggest to gut it out completely and it will save you more money down the road and keep a healthy life in the long run. With my condo, it looks all ok from surface, once we start digging, everything is Rotten under the surface, we end up spending more and more on material. Also be careful with contractor you choose to work with, I end up fire 2 contractor team in this process and last one I found in front of the Home Depot is perfect. But you really have to have some knowledge of what they are doing, understand the right material is a key, other wise those contractor will screw you left and right.

    WoW !! My second house had a huge beautiful Weeping willow in my back yard, roots that went to the front of my house and like your house I had those old clay sewer pipes. Well as you now know roots will find any little opening and burrow themselves to get at water. Chalk this as Experience for your next homes little Lady. You are getting SMARTER by the hour. You already knew to shop around for rates, you saved money doing so.. You will know better the next time and the next and the next.etc. Etc.

    Yes definitely agree with number one 1! And this kind of problem happens everywhere, we bought our home Branford Ontario and the trees that were on the front property did the same thing to our clay pipes. Thousands and thousands of dollars later we had to replace the clay pipes and get a scope to clean out. Luckily my husband is really handy and did a lot of the work too but we still had to pay a lot of money. This is such a great investment for you and it will do very well in the future. It is such a cool AirBnb and it’s going to be amazing!!!!!

      If you have to take out a loan for the cost of renovation, then you most likely shouldn't be in this line. There are so many costs in rehabbing that paying interest on a loan is just too much off the bottom line. If I had to guess, I would say over 90% of flippers are all cash from start to finish. The other 10% are soon to be not doing it.

    Shelby, consider using a mortgage broker the next time you refinance, or when your current mortgage term matures. Mortgage brokers are great, because: 1) they DON'T charge you a fee, as they are getting a small commission from the lender you decide to go with; 2) they present you with offers from a bunch of different lenders, and you can choose the best offer there is; 3) they can negotiate a LOWER rate that's usually not offered to the general public.
    Google the conditions that mortgage brokers work on in your state though! It's different everywhere.

    Rent, rent, rent. Real estate is like a boomer trap unless it's a hot market area where the property will increase in value over time regardless of any improvements done. Since this is a profit generating project I wonder if some land lords would agree to allow you to AirBnB the property as long as you meet the rent because you'll be doing all the work of listing, booking, arranging cleaning, paying for staging, furniture and photos, etc. Good luck in Palm Springs Shelby!

    I lived in Palms Springs many years. Loved it. However, here are a few other lessons I learned:
    1. Water. Water is so dang expensive in this desert town.
    2. Power. My electric bills gave me high blood pressure.
    3. Neighbors. Great people, however they like their privacy and noiseless neighbors. Tougher for air bnb rentals.
    4. Heat. No, not the Robert De Niro movie, I'm talking 110 Fahrenheit, for at least 3 to 4 months.
    5. 100 miles from work. Los Angeles, Orange County, gonna take a few hours of driving.
    Otherwise, great town, enjoy Shelby!

Garage flooded because tree roots had grown into pipes and we lost everything in moving boxes. And no, insurance won't cover it unless you specifically get flood insurance. Moral of story: if there are trees in front of your house...do a pipe inspection like Shelby says!🤓

    I’m literally shocked that you didn’t know how much all these items cost and what inspections are important. This should have definitely been something your realtor should have warned/advised.
