    When I was doing real estate in Israel I was taught that always take into consideration 30% more on expenses and 30% more on time. Now if you managed with less good but at least you were prepared.

    you got all that done within 10 days? thats awesome. you must have some awesome contractors. when I started a remodel project for a SMALL BATHROOM… it took them 2 months and then they just stopped returning because they decided it wasn't a big enough job (even though they knew that before accepting the job) so now we need to pay someone else to finish

    Did you learn how do repairs on the job or did you have some previous knowledge ? How long did it take you to learn how to do most of the repairs yourself? Any suggestions on how to learn to do these repairs yourself ?

    Is there a finished video coming out?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MoneyManFernando says:

    I am new to your channel. I subscribed. Do you flip properties or do you fix them up and rent them out ?? What city are you in ????

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Liz Duran says:

    Thanks! I want to flip houses in the near future and your videos are helping me out a lot thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share .

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pavel Roll says:

    I appreciate your honesty about the project. Great work, keep it up

    Hey bud, look into fujitsu mini splits. They will build the air handler to fit the application such as a skinny closet. There are other brand names too. They also have vrf units with one condenser and multiple indoor cassettes that fit in attic. Im sure you know what im talking about if you have been around commercial properties lately. You will reap the same benefits of low energy cost as the mini splits in this house you have.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SlickNick88 says:

    Also I think your idea of having the trees and the arch in the front of the house is a great idea. But the fence, kinda think it won't go or devalue it or even look like other homes. Be unique. Just food for though.. ๐Ÿ™‚

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SlickNick88 says:

    Graham, love your videos, but your kinda contradicted yourself here. If you flip the house in the best way possible as soon as possible, you making out better than holding it in the short term.

    1. If you hold it you have to cover the cost of monthly mortgage.
    2. Electricity
    3. Heat & A/C
    4. Yearly Taxes
    5. Tenants NOT PAYING YOU!!! BIG ONE
    6. Lawyer fees.
    7. Time lost not renting and making income monthly.
    8. Cost of maintenance fixing things that break or are broken.
    9. Sewer monthly or yearly payments for removal of yes !@#$
    10. Always being a landlord. Having to deal with people all the time vers in out.
    11. Finding good workers to do the work for you
    12. Natural paying them for their services.

    But if you want to take on the responsibility of being a landlord. Make sure you check on the people renting the property credit history and good people and maybe just maybe your residual income will be worth it in the long run.

    Still great job on videos keep up the great work.

    Great to see the update. Houses always take lots of money.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 0ldMate says:

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars EdVentures says:

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Markus says:

    Do you actually have the time to get your hands on yourself or do you have everything done by carpenters?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Seth says:

    Really loving this series, it's amazing to see all the work that goes on during a renovation. Would appreciate more info regarding how you finance these renovations. You are one of the few people I actually am subscribed too! Great job!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerard Allen says:

    This is what makes your channel such great quality to watch my friend, you are actually showing what you are doing and how you do it. Major difference from the other channels. Makes you not want to listen to them anymore lol

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adriane C says:

    From your experiences remodeling & owning in LA area which cities would you say to avoid or can be more challenging w permits inspections etc. time is $$.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hayden Wheatley says:

    Great video man! Really like seeing the behind the scenes work in process.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars User says:

    How much will it cost you

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars E. C. says:

    Not sure if you ever mentioned this but curious on how you get tenants, how you manage your properties ( collect rent, maintenance, etc) and any tenant horror stories?

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars And Nielsen says:

    What do you expect the house price to annual rent ratio to be (including the remodeling costs)?

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johno says:

    Looks great mate! Funny when people say I'm going to renovate my house, and years go by and nothing gets done. You've made so much progress in these past weeks, good on ya! Looking forward to the next video ๐Ÿ˜€

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars constanzelabest says:

    wow dude I've subscribed to you when you had 2K subscribers and that was like few months ago! Good job! Proof that your content is on point !!

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maxim the conqueror says:

    The background music makes the video look so fancy!!!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GRID says:

    Do you visit your properties every one in a while to make sure they're not destroyed or they're doing something they're not supposed to? If so, how often? Also, do you make sure you have a fixed amount of money to cover for any rent when your tenants move out, or do you always take out a portion of your rent money regardless of how much you already have in your bank account? For example, do you save up $40,000 for any repairs/mortgage cost while tenants are out, or do you keep adding to one bank account no matter how much is in it everytime you receive tenant rent. (confusing question sorry)
