[@ZombieSalesman]

The title def made me think you bought the original flip house and were gonna do it again lol

[@barbaraminer8632]

Same. I was actually hoping they were going to fix that duplex (I think?) they flipped awhile back where they used really bold colors and angles. I can’t unsee the chaos from that flip. And I really want to unsee it.

[@ZombieSalesman]

@@barbaraminer8632 I haven't seen that one yet, but now I feel like I have to.

[@fergieingrid2521]

Same. And I thought that the new owners did them dirty. 😅

[@msknucb1762]

Me too 😂

[@JeffKogut]

Close those toilet lids for the glam shots!

[@EmelyPhan]

This. I remember while in design school, my profs saying this when creating plans, elevations and 3Ds.

[@miekesmit7012]

Yes, and a door straight from the lounge is wrong!.

[@DutchessSarahJ]

This is great. That wallpaper is a conversation piece! ❤ My only thing is the backyard is still wildly atrocious. I would consider hiring a landscaper if you come across something like that again. The choice to keep the stumps and rocks but add grass…. You can’t mow that. 😬

[@MonkeyManMods]

The completely awkward conversations with the contracts I bloody love it hahah so true to life

[@ElvenGoddess86]

My thoughts: Would have liked to see the entry wall opened up, could have done a nice feature banister on the stairs so its not so claustrophobic. Love the wall paper choice in the powder, as the gold leaves bring out some of the tones in the Victoria Falls. The furlough in the kitchen is hardly noticeable with the cabinet design, so I doubt its a talking point in the future. The master bath may not have any real way to lay out with out a little controversy, at least not without spending a bunch of money that would not be returned on investment. It does however take away the dead space the original vanity caused and creates a place that is usable not just with the larger shower but could fit a tall hamper or trash bin in the corner.

[@debbydhill]

I would have spent the extra and opened up the stairs to the front door. Great job

[@karoljohnston1130]

and a built in book shelf under the stairs!

[@zhevtone]

Loved this longer format with the behind the scenes, stone picking, contractors, etc!😊

[@AustinFlipsters]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it - we loved filming these!

[@LisaElevateDJ]

Is Lincoln ok? He seems to be slurring throughout the walk through. Also noticed his weight loss in the past few videos. Sending love, hope he's ok.

[@itsrobin515]

Came to the comments to see if it was just me. Hope he's okay 🩷

[@deneseroberts3308]

I know he mentioned being on a diet earlier this year

[@BreannaMae]

Beautiful flip! I would've done some things a little differently if it were me, but still a beautiful upgrade! For instance I would've removed the wall in the entrance so the stairs could be visible. Then I'd build a new staircase with an ornate railing to give the entrance some visual interest. That way when guests walk into the house they'll see a beautiful staircase instead of a blank wall. I mean the way you two did it is fine, but there needs to be something hanging there like artwork. I wouldn't put a coat rack on that wall because you don't want people walking in and having a bunch of coats in their face. At least if there's a painting or photo, there's something pleasant greeting them.

[@BreannaMae]

@@alla9916 Yep exactly! Having something like that would add some visual interest for sure. It's better than walking through the front door and there's a blank white wall in your face. I would avoid mirrors on that wall also. No one wants to walk into a person's house and immediately be startled by their own reflection lol. A painting with a table underneath is preferable. My entrance has something very much like that, with a floral arrangement dressing up the table.

[@overthecounterbeanie]

I am loving the production value of this video. Y'all are as good as, if not better than, many HGTV shows.

[@AustinFlipsters]

Appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed

[@Ck12340]

I would have preferred losing one of eating areas to have a bigger kitchen. The mirror in the master is a little narrow in width. I also agree that I would have preferred opening the stairs to the front door would have been nice. I guess it was more about the flip than fixing the design of the house.

[@karoljohnston1130]

and put a built in book shelf under the stairway instead of leaving the closet door

[@manzell]

I've been poking back in on this channel from time-to-time over the years and you both look younger than when you started!

[@davisholman8149]

I like their friendship. Reminds me of my male high school buddies way back when. The friendship between them works great for their business.

[@jeanettekakareka]

Maybe I am crazy but I sort of loved that old oven 😆 I hope they sold it off to somebody who can tweak it and fix it up because sometimes people like having that in their house for a bit of character... like me 😂

[@backpain4ever505]

yikes that primary bathroom is not good. Also, cheap white cabinets in the kitchen…no lower drawers which is what people are looking for. So much wasted space in this house that you could have made into an office or laundry.

[@chellejack3480]

Yeah, this house does not feel high end at all. Everything feels like it's apartment grade. BUT.....this IS a flip house....so.....they needed to save money to make a profit. Also, I would have pushed the kitchen into the formal dining area and added a walk-in pantry. The master bathroom is a big NO. Also I wish they would have used more high end furniture to stage it, because it gives the illusion of a more expensive home. If I bought this house after THIS makeover, I would immediately move in and remodel it. 😂. But it's a decent starter home for someone. I'm just not at the starter home phase of life right now, so maybe I'm being too critical.

[@elaine6820]

@@chellejack3480Is a 1M+ house is a starter home in Austin? I like your idea of expanding the kitchen to the dinner area and have a big pantry. Maybe they could have a laundry there as well. I don’t think the house has one.

[@backpain4ever505]

Good flippers don’t make the house look like a flip, which Austin Flippers do all the time. They really need an interior designer.

[@rarefindhomesllc3479]

Although the house overall looks nice I totally agree with your kitchen base cabinet observation. This is too high of a price home to have 'crawl in' base cabinets. And being stuck with that primary bath layout the toilet could have at least been skirted instead of the cheapest old style bulgy one. This might be ok with 500k buyers but the bar needs to raise on this one.

[@jodievukmir3187]

Maybe the front polls should be bigger..or try a nice banister with s swing on the front porch and enclosed on side...

[@karma_oop]

20:22 I know they probably couldn't move the toilet but it still pains me to see it taking up that great walking space, blocking drawers, etc. ugh. and it looks so uncomfortable there... other than that unfortunate fault the bathroom looks gorgeous.

[@csr3282]

Love the painted brick and no smelly carpets up stairs. Kitchen layout is very efficient and nice calm colours. It looks easy care and inviting now.

[@foldingchairepicness4793]

Beautiful! I would prefer opaque glass for at least the bottom half of the shower wall to visually separate it from the toilet.

[@kristinking3725]

I would love to see a kitchen with wooden countertops and a green cabinet color. People are really digging the modern cabin whimsical aesthetic these days. Lots of raw materials and textures! Cottage core vibes!

[@ebrock10]

Not gonna lie Lincoln. Whatever you’re doing you’re looking good keep it up! Love watching you 2 do your thing lots of inspiration for when I’m ready to renovate.

[@glendasexton4777]

The house is gorgeous. The back yard doesn’t sing to me.

[@Stressless2023]

Seems like a surprisingly half hearted rehab from them - I guess they know their market and figured they didn't have to do more to reach their list price, but over $1M for that mostly unimpressive looking house with a bad layout is crazy to me.

[@rarefindhomesllc3479]

This is my first video from them and I was thinking this is a flip level for a much lower end market. Small details can make a huge difference. Drawers instead of crawl in base cabinets, skirted toilets, and that back yard needs a retaining wall.

[@eattherich9215]

@@rarefindhomesllc3479: I looked at that slope and wondered if there is a retaining wall.

[@ChelseaRobson]

Can we, collectively, move away from grey undertones?

[@eattherich9215]

Ditch the black hardware, too.

[@ChelseaRobson]

@@eattherich9215 yes, that too.

[@susanpatterson8464]

Love the flip but the open toilet seat always bothers me !

[@bu_muawiyah]

why are they texturing the walls?! I thought we left that decades ago.

[@daisyp253]

Looks great ❤ loved the counter you picked.

[@DrapersDoingRenos]

Me too!!!

[@kellyschwartz27]

Another great flip from the Austin Flipsters!! Love your channel! Thank you for sharing your flips with us!!!

[@AustinFlipsters]

Glad you like them!

[@virgoqueen76]

It’s very pretty and clean but predictable. I understand that it has to appeal to a lot of different people, but I wish there could be some personality or character. It is beautifully done, just not too original. Also, there is NO shade in that backyard! I thought you would would replace that cover with something less bulky but you just took away all of it! As an Austinite and knowing how hot it is there most of the time, that backyard will get almost no usage now. I agree with other comments that the front entry was a missed opportunity to open up that staircase and entry. Disappointing to say the least.

[@Mosteacherofenglish]

Feels good to see you guys again

[@bgreen2856]

One of your best so far bar none!❤

[@julied3588]

I have a question for you…why would you use fake shutters, that don’t match the size of the window? As an architect I find this one of the worst choices that can be made for home renovations. Very much an American subdivision look. Not good.

[@codyg545]

I always love your videos! Great work! I wish we got them more often!

[@AustinFlipsters]

Glad you like them!

[@JohannaWood-yx3jo]

I was blown away! The attention to detail in every room was incredible, and the final result was stunning. I felt like I was watching an episode of my favorite home improvement show-I can't wait to see more transformations like this!

[@kristinecornell8649]

What rendering software do you use? I would love to have it for my design business. I'm surprised you didn't take down the entryway wall & open up the stairway.

[@DrapersDoingRenos]

I love the kitchen countertop!

[@lauraSechelt]

[@grabthemappodcast]

Such an inspiring story of teamwork and creativity in real estate flipping! Seeing the challenges they faced and how they overcame them was both educational and entertaining.

[@heathersmith8549]

This one came out great. I think it’s my favorite of the most recent makeovers. The house has a great flow and the finishes are beautiful. And I personally kinda dig the rocky mountain backyard.

[@AustinFlipsters]

Thank you so much!

[@RobertaGibson-qi9uh]

I'm amazed by the results! The attention to detail in the renovation was impressive, and I loved how they maintained the home's original charm while giving it a modern touch.

[@MonkeyManMods]

I also don’t understand why you always remove patio awnings, is this just an American thing or? Cause the first thing id do if I were the buyer is to build one out the back

[@madday9589]

It’s one of the worst things they do, the canopy’s are great for lounging and hosting outside without getting blazed by the sun it’s something I’d want when buying a house

[@eleanoreagly4844]

I like the look of the kitchen counter chosen.

[@AgentAO7]

Painted white bricks is a pain in the a**.. and yeah, that Primary Bath is a little tight.. But I understand the need to work around with the existing plumbing situation.. Overall, great transformation.

[@KimRinehart]

Yikes, so many negative comments. I like it and think it looks great! Its all about how a family lives in a space and their vision to decorate it! Once you've updated it and made it almost new then let the home owners use their imagination! I could decorate the heck out of that place!! Great job guys!!!!!

[@territ1231]

I love all your talents doing a house makeover! No shortcuts!

[@Stellarspace95]

The way you worked that wall by the front door is just too nice, I would have added a 6ft tall frame on it, or painted two indentical black stripes about 1.5 ft wide going across the whole height

[@megandunell399]

Joint Venture = Fractional Flipping?

[@chriso7375]

The "dinning room" should have been part of the kitchen and then you could have out an island in that opening and made the room in front of it the new dinning room

[@FastAligator1234]

1.1 for this house??? Criminal

[@virgoqueen76]

Welcome to the new Austin

[@leosuniverse]

Compare it to a california tiny house for same price there in Austin they got a mansion.

[@Homesinthisworldwithsanit]

I like your channel a lot.

[@wyntirnox]

The outlet in the bathroom in the light over the sink would be a perfect spot to put a nightlight.

[@davidhennebach9114]

As an Austinite, I get so excited when y'all upload a new video! : D

[@b-pattx5254]

Wow ur so good! Wow !

[@barbaraminer8632]

Beautiful work. Except for the wallpaper. Wallpaper is like carpeting for walls. Both are things that need to be removed, not installed.

[@FastAligator1234]

What size is the baseboards that you used?

[@patriciacasey6767]

Everything inside is great!! I was hoping to see those skinny posts on the porch replaced with something more substantial and I think the front door would have been great with a pop of color.

[@EmilydanielleTX]

Where do you have the finishes used in the house listed? Like the flooring etc?

[@Teetles_807]

The only flip you have done that I don’t like. There was so much lost opportunity

[@anagc97]

Agreed, felt like some original mistakes from the house were not solved, such as the staircase and the main suite bathroom. The curb appeal and design choices were great, but the wallpaper in the guest bathroom is too much in my opinion and some landscape work seems to be missing.

[@kitten88dm]

Is anyone else grossed out by the toilet lid being up? You just know they don't put it down before they flush...🤢

[@brannondoolin8654]

PLEASE continue to do long formatted videos like this! Love the longer in-depth and detailed content.

[@AustinFlipsters]

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the content

[@kateschneider1223]

What do you use to render your models?

[@jennyhammond9261]

No, the bird wallpaper..noooooo...stoooop!! That would be a dealbreaker for me!

[@hollyknapp2650]

I just never liked wall paper but love everything else

[@Cactina]

Yes. Wall paper is an especially bad idea around a WC.

[@rebeccaharrison2968]

Minor picky point - please close the toilet lids when you’re doing your final walkthrough.

[@knottybead4871]

Yes, paint everything white and it is new again.

[@nancymcclain2533]

I have a curtain over my glass sliders in bathroom too. No matter how clean I just hate the look glass doors on a tube. Plus I like the look of the curtail print and matching towels. That's just me./ Outside? that massive tree has me worried

[@PnoMonies]

That wall at the entrance is horrible! Why not tare it down and expose stairs on both sides. The layout in this house is terribly small.

[@sharonloomis5264]

Don't think I like the plumbing in the ceiling above the kitchen. What would be the result if they burst?

[@SandraGonzales-hp7yw]

I was wondering how much of a hazard is dry sanding the walls before putting up the wallpaper?

[@eleanoreagly4844]

When are renovators and flippers going to instal multiple dish washers? My next house I want at least 2 dishwasher and if room permits three. That will save emptying the dishwasher which is so time consuming. Have one for breakfast and lunch and the second one for the dinner dishes. One dishwasher is just not sufficience.

[@samanthabond4259]

Can’t you take the kitchen across the whole back wall? I feel like that’s a million dollar house vs. A small corner kitchen. And the wall to great you in the entry, I just think those are the things I wouldn’t buy the house over. The backyard is also terrible. A pergola or something and better landscaping. Love the video thank you

The toilet is so close to the toilet, how can you clean the glass door?

[@judychapman1868]

That entry wall is horrible and I don’t care for the master bath layout; because the Master is so large it seems that both the bathroom and closet could have been side by side instead of walking through the bath in order to enter the closet. Aside from that the house is really pretty. Forgot to add, wallpaper is such a personal choice it may have been a waste of time and money…

[@lotyg5036]

I like the designs… but you spend too much criticizing the old instead of talking about the new renovation

[@lanttop]

Looks great other than the hideous wallpaper

[@bnggon9248]

8:35 My theory if shared by 3 individuals: for privacy when one is taking a shower, another could use the sink/vanity. 🤷‍♀️

[@jensronnest1072]

Where is the first video?

[@luisalbertoaboytes]

So can you paint brick or not??

[@luisalbertoaboytes]

I heard it’s bad

[@joshua_a_boehm]

Latex paint over brick, and the older the worse it is, is typically not the best idea. It can cause moisture issues due to lack of vapor permeability. You have also just turned a low maintenance product (brick) into a higher maintenance item (latex paint). If you use a more vapor open paint like mineral paint, or a white wash that's a lot better for the brick.

[@joliettewoods4507]

Nice flip, but I have issues with the powder room and primary suite bathroom. That wallpaper is HIDEOUS! Maybe one wall as an accent and a different choice in paper. I'd suggest something more subtle for all walls being covered. The primary bathroom might have been nicer with a different layout. Long shower =👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[@user-yh3ut7lz6e]

I just want to hear how much you get from that 1% agreement!

[@joemanor09]

Regardless of what one may think about the design, materials, etc., the numbers here don’t work for the people who actually invested in this deal. It’s still on the market (2+ months) for $1.1M so even if they sell for $1.05M, after paying these guys they hardly break even…

Should have opened up to the dining room and only have 1 bigger table to eat. Formal dining is a thing of the past

[@karoljohnston1130]

should have taken 1 of the eating areas and made a much bigger kitchen!

[@jennie9]

A lot of comments on the wall at the front door, the toilet in the master bath, and the backyard. Would the place have looked better with the suggested changes? Absolutely. Could those changes have been made? Absolutely. Would they have made as much profit by making those changes? Absolutely NOT. This is a business, people! They made practical business decisions based on economics, not on what they thought would look the nicest. It's a popular, high-end area but there's still a limit to how much they could sell the house for. If they invest too much when they flip places, they won't make much money and they'll go out of business. Looking at it from this perspective, I thought they made practical decisions, and the end result was a house that will make them and their partners a decent profit.
