You need a construction company for fiłps

Do you sell shares in your company or allow individuals to invest in your projects?

[@thabisomakhoro2448]

Hi Steve. Just subscribed...great work. Just wondering...do you guys offer this as a service ? Would you guys come out to renovate my property?

[@ZaneleMoepshe]

Love your work

[@pakoramatlhatse38]

The reason I like this guy’s videos is because he’s honest and tells you everything and the purchase price and the renovation cost.

[@forgirlslikeus]

I just wanna highlight that your presenting has improved so much. Voice control, projection and interaction with the camera 🤌🏾 looking forward to the day this goes on Showmax!

[@FlippingJohannesburg]

Thank you! These are the comments that keep me going! 🙏

[@siphelelekhankhan]

This house reminds me of our house we bought recently. We had to redo EVERYTHING and nothing prepared me for the amount of money that was going to be needed😮. Now we have a house that looks completely different. This one looks like it’s gonna be an exciting one, can’t wait for more videos.

[@G-Wagonyou-tj9sb]

Crazy!! I actually know the previous family staying in the house! The place is almost unrecognisable. All and all a great find though 🙌🏻

[@priscillamt2476]

the window on top of the door is called a transom window it's purpose is to let light enter the hall way

[@seedsoflove7684]

Makes sense, ty

[@steven1000000000]

They also allow airflow through the house when open, whilst still maintaining privacy with the doors closed.

[@TinasheKavumbura]

i concur

[@snippetsordinarylife]

Thanks for that. I live in the area and there is a transom window between one bedroom and the corridor, obviously to let light into the dark corridor. It works.

[@lisathompson4273]

We have the same in many UK homes and it is too light come through onto landing and depending on where the bathroom is it lets light shine down the stairs Lisa UK

[@gilliandeklerk3393]

Project C is going to be amazing, can't wait to watch every episode. Flipping Johanesburg should be on DSTV, Netflix, and Showmax! Love how you share such great info to encourage others to get flipping!

[@andilentuli7126]

I can see the potential here. Can't wait for the renovated reveal in a few weeks

[@brucegarethgeorge]

A few weeks? That's extremely optimistic. More like a few months

[@asiphileni8949]

Wow, I am happy to find such a channel in South Africa. Keep up the good work

[@supafly8]

Hey Steve, Huge fan of your videos! I was thinking, if you ever considered expanding the operation to tackle multiple homes at once, I might be a perfect fit. I'm a qualified applied mathematician/data scientist based in Johannesburg and I'm on the hunt for a side hustle that aligns with my interests. Honestly, seeing the impact these renovations have is truly inspiring. I believe with a well-organized team, we could pump out many more of these videos on a regular basis. Just throwing it out there! Would love to chat and see if there could be a way to collaborate. Best, V

[@BrettStealth]

That 'fanlight' is a standard design feature in older homes - described as 'borrowed light', intended to borrow light from a windowed room to light internal passages etc. Older homes also swing doors to conceal private spaces making passages less illuminated

[@Cyclewizz]

At least this wasn't an infomercial episode !!! Lots of potential.

[@smb123211]

Not sure about the "flipping journey" of others. You are at the culmination of all your experience - buying, finance, building, repairing, replacing, plumbing, electrical, work crews, legal, market conditions...and a cash cushion. Very few wannabe flippers have many (or any) or these acquired skills which is why only a few consistently make money. Love the channel and waiting for the final (part 6) your own home.

[@BopheloRikhotso]

I can’t wait for the final reveal, please run a competition to flip a subscriber’s house..😂 my house needs your skills 👌👌

[@leemalan1509]

Glad to see you are back with another video. I have been waiting to see you convert another house and have been very impressed how you restore it back again.

[@ferwallace1903]

Oh we have transom windows in our house too. They let light in, some even actually open, like in my house they can open up to let air it from the passages while I'm in the safety and privacy of my room. They're very handy and nostalgic in the case of my house as it is an older house, they're above every door and I love them!!!, Love from Zim❤❤❤

[@juliansmith8068]

My wife and I love this content can't wait to see what this house is going to look like, your content gives us so many ideas and insight into a business that we want to venture in.. Keep it up great work great channel 🎉🎉🎉

[@rorisangmoale978]

The potential is there, blowing the budget is inevitable from what I can see...I'm tuned in until the final episode of this flip

[@VutomiChats]

Thank you for your honesty and plugs 🙏

[@ntshembomashaba2937]

I am learning, when money allows( by God’s grace) I'll do this as well. I see many houses that need a bit of love so they can sell

[@tebogomalebana1725]

You are a champ, great job. I am learning a lot from you and you are the best

[@Kid_Senekal]

Imagine my delight when clicking to the vid and hearing that familiar lekker Joburg accent. Easy sub. Well done so far and keep it up. Really enjoy the videos I've watched thus far, very relatable content.

[@WanjiruWaithaka]

Yay, a new project. Really looking forward to this AND the finished tour of your home as promised. 😀

[@mmabathofakude9799]

Watching from 🇸🇦 Saidi Arabia

[@Whatsthechat]

Cannot wait to indulge ❤ very informative

[@garvinsass4108]

Loving the new challenge. Can't wait to see the progress. Was thinking would you ever take up the challenge of flipping a house in each province. Showing fellow SA the difference in each province. Just a crazy idea 😅. I am from Cape Town and I love your KZbin channel It is really inspiring and relatable. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. What to look out for 💯

[@Marissa821]

His channel is called Flipping Johannesburg. Also there's no value to Flipping houses in Cape Town for instance. High purchase price, very small,tiny square meterage

[@ayandakhumalo8692]

I am so excited. I am forcing my poor husband to watch with me 😀😀

[@mandyishername]

You’re really called to do this because when i look at this house I just think 🤢🤕😷. I cant wait to see you work your magic on this project as you always do.

[@TheLb018]

Wishing you the very best with this project China. I'm sure it will look so lekker when done.

[@thabobandile412]

Absolutely love the work that you do. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@joshuaswarts5349]

My project A looked exactly like this, the green and white lol, seems to be a signature in Welties

[@marcdemetriou998]

Good luck with the flip Steve, I’m a Jozi boy watching from the UK. Love your work pal and looking forward to the progress on your latest project.

[@bonganiqwanti3915]

Super cool! Can't wait to see the final product. All the best!

[@SA_CrimeWatch]

This house is a mess, even the neighbours will be happy to see this mess being worked on , its a scary mess

[@kenosisibambato1558]

Lol, well he did do the flip on the house next door so he will know what he is getting himself into

[@LIFEOFREYN]

it's my dream to do stuff like this, seeing this made me so happy especially because its so close to home.

[@jennyramsay8565]

So nice that you guys are making videos of flips in JHB. Am looking forward to following your journey.

[@sashinipatherreddy3810]

Looking forward to seeing the progress. If i can make a suggestion for you to cover a series for new owners who want to renovate or do budget diy friendly projects but don't know where to start. I watch your videos for inspiration and ideas and want to do so much but have no idea where to start.

[@N.Molelekoa]

This is very exciting😅, I can't wait to see the process and final result!!!

[@ferwallace1903]

Oh we have transom windows in our house too. They let light in, some even actually open, like in my house they can open to let air it from the passages while I'm in the safety and privacy of my room. They're very handy and nostalgic in the case of my house, they're above every room inside my house and I love them!!!

[@dariusnayin1756]

Hi, as an architect, I enjoy watching your content. Interesting question posed. The fanlight above a door to a passage or any room is to allow natural light into these usual dark and gloomy passages. However, moreover than just natural light, many of these proposed fan lights were constructed to allow cross ventilation for a room enabling passive air exchange in the space. Therefore, this allowed for that, especially in rooms where only 1 window is proposed

[@gohan20]

I really enjoy watching your videos and expierences, especially seeing this part of SA that Google Maps/Earth doesn't quite manage to help me with my curiosity when I get nostalgic and want to see how far things have come and also just to see SA again. I left in 01 from Randburg. Just wanted to thank you for the time you take to make these videos and sharing your livelihood and passions with us.

[@YeaBroer]

800k for 1000m² in my eyes is an absolute bargain. Great find

[@mowest5852]

You make ZA a better place to live

[@kamohomolise3153]

Looking forward on seeing you on next one.

[@portiasidu3279]

Wooow I really like watching the house flips cant wait to see when you finish the house❤

[@mahlatsekadiaka8820]

I am inspired, in a process of buying a fixer-upper 🙏🏾

[@ilseizi]

One of my fav series. Keep it going

[@nicolletnyoni4371]

So much potential. Can't wait for the flip videos

[@Mmalebogo]

There is no potential here but a definite success. You are correct in wanting to create an open plan between the kitchen, lounge, etc. It would be interesting to see the final render on this. I like this type of neighbourhoods, slightly aged but can be modernised massively, and you have 1000sqm to play with... pretty much a kid in a candy-shop scenario Good Luck, there will be stress, but the fullfillment far outweighs it

[@TransformRealEstate]

Can't wait to see the transformation!

[@FlippingJohannesburg]

Thank you! Love your work 👌🏽👌🏽

[@taniapandula9592]

I am so excited for this project i want to start this journey ❤

[@sharonpereira9530]

Super excited to see the transformation.

[@siyabulelaheshula6655]

I can't wait for the next episode

[@hollandbiker]

watching from Holland . Like the flips . Amazed by the " low " purchase price in comparison to my country . This would buy me a parking space/ garagebox at best . good luck I wil keep watching

[@FlippingJohannesburg]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@lourensstrydom9707]

Awesome! Can't wait for the next episode. Greetings all the way from Worcester, Western Cape.

[@KgomotsoMoema]

Can't wait for episode 2 of this project

[@veraroselloyd1701]

Great floor plan

[@phindilesibiya1635]

I'm excited about Project C. I can't wait to see the final product.

[@Sir-August]

Can't wait for the next episode 😢

[@cherriemater]

Did you know there is a Johannesburg, Michigan USA? I'm from there! Glad I found your channel.

[@mercyphensulo5570]

Wow! This is awesome ❤

[@SamkeloGininda]

Cannot wait to see the final product

[@nthabisengprudence4330]

Excited for the flip 😊

[@jaygreeves5004]

This one is gonna blow the budget😬🔥🔥🔥but will be worth it for sure🤌😌steve please wear a mask in those smelly rooms we dont want you getting sick😔

[@cherriemater]

Transom windows in hallways help with airflow ... especially during heating season in cold climates (like here in Michigan).

[@snippetsordinarylife]

This is my suburb. I didn't realise there were any abandoned houses here. Interested to see what you end up doing with it.

[@theresapretorius4122]

Please show more videos. Waiting just for your videos

[@withlovethateho1353]

Can't wait to see how this turns out

[@diyjimmo]

Can’t wait to see the progress

[@DoingLifewithtiisetso]

Oh my God Impatiently waitinggggggggg 😂😂😂

[@aljeranewilson4173]

Love this channel. It gave me so much inspo to renovate my home 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@ziya_mbatha]

I cannot wait to see this one🙌🏽🔥

[@philisiajoannechetty7145]

Great find. Can't wait to see the process

[@thabingwenya7700]

Thank you it was very informative!

[@Cpm_legit54]

7:37 These glazed doors offer the addition of light while maintaining a level of privacy that you may require for bedrooms and bathrooms.

[@williamgillatt6884]

I believe those windows at the top of the doors ALSO allow for the removal of hot air during the warmer months as hot air rises. If you closed the door it creates a pressure difference resulting in the removal of the hot air. Basically a manual HVAC system and as @priscillamt2476 mentioned it is used for allowing light into a space.

[@wiopodcast]

Let’s goooo!!! Can’t wait to see what you do sir😎

[@riancloete96]

Just came here to like the video, I'll watch it later;)

[@JB-pv8xx]

Nice..cant wait for the start of this project

[@MrScissors98]

Your content is very informative

[@RRCaddick]

Love you content! How much more work do you add to you flip filming everything? In my opinion that entrance wall should go. Much nicer to feel that space as you walk through the door

[@johnvilakazi867]

You should see some of the properties in Randburg

[@carolsmind]

love the editing

[@TondaniR]

Definitely want to see how much you will sell it for in this area. Good luck

[@mashobane6177]

I can't wait ☺️

[@i.am.sharky]

Window above the door is a transom. Allows light into the room when door is in closed position

[@thandekamathafeng8880]

I've watched too much HGTV to inform you that they steal plugs and such in the States as well (There's 2 episodes of Flip or Flop that Ty and Christine had stuff stolen from their flip projects for example). I know our country is high up in crime stats, but let's stop talking down on our country when the world already does that on our behalf. Looking forward to the finished product, your journey has been remarkable to watch. You're such an inspiration!

[@FlippingJohannesburg]

Yes it does also happen in the States but not as much as here! And definitely not talking down our country - if you know me you’ll know how much I love SA! Thanks for watching !!

[@OraL925]

amazing 👌👌 how were you able to track the old owners?

[@sylism5086]

Wow literally up the road from me.

[@XpensiveTraderSA]

We've been waiting 😢😢

[@sibylleherbe8260]

Looking forward to seeing what you do.

[@wwd7562]

Awesome

[@Pedrocas6768]

We need more videos!!

[@FlippingJohannesburg]

Ep 2 is airing this month!

[@Ragnar8504]

I'm fairly sure those tiles were removed, there's adhesive all over the walls and some tiles are broken. Copper theft was a massive issue all over the world about ten years ago, it's no longer as bad as it used to be.

[@Cpm_legit54]

2:18 welcome to SA😂❤

[@dennisyates1762]

Not to nitpick but so many people make the mistake of saying, "DB board". DB stands for Distribution Board. So why say, "distribution board board"? Otherwise keep doing what you obviously do well. 👍😁❤️

[@samaritan2899]

"DB box"?

[@MentalFacility-u7o]

The more run down the house is, the more scrumptious the flip will be.

[@sjhomerenovations696]

Tops..cant wait

[@ntoshmulimi]

Damn. Selling part is definitely the backyard. Find a way of adding foldable doors to the patio and outdoors

[@johnbennett1087]

Haibo... R800k for an abandoned house. I hope you make a profit flipping this in the end! o.o

[@reganerasmus9929]

its probably what the land is worth, that area of constantia kloof is a good one.
