Condemned by the city and scheduled to be demolished will the Flipsters be able to save this home and restore it to its former glory? How in the world will they manage a construction project that is 2.5 hours from Austin? Stay tuned to find out how the 5K house turns out.

This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to build a second unit on their property.

I lived in a house that was built in the 40s and two of the three bedrooms had external doors with small, private porches. I was told that this would allow a woman whose husband was away at war to earn an income by renting out one or both of those rooms, while still maintaining her home and caring for her children. I loved being able to open the doors and windows to catch the breeze!

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months. I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.

Just bought my first house with my bf for $5500, used to be a hoarder house. Smells like death. Trying to renovate it for under $9000. Wish us luck! 😥

Fast forward 3 years and you were spot on about the rental market and taking advantage of low interest rates

[@michaeltutty1540]

Considering what you started with, the end result is very nice. One thing I noticed about the bedrooms is the lack of storage. I did not notice a single closet. There were no dressers, either. The master is nice, but put a couple of dressers on and it will shrink very quickly. The kitchen is not a good layout at all. There is no room to work in it.

To those who keep saying “why didn’t they change the floor plan”, this is meant to be a rental property. Bedrooms sell!

[@LaLadybug2011]

Louisianaian here...Yes, you paint porch ceilings blue to keep bugs/spiders/ wasps from building their webs and nests on your porch! It truly works-

[@15BrandonR]

I just moved back to my hometown which happens to be Brownwood (lol) and I stumbled across this video. Great job y'all! My grandma actually lives close to where this house is. It's so nice to see an improvement in the neighborhood!

[@TravelTheWorld.2022]

I've been renovating a distressed property in Texas also. I've been spending a lot and sometimes feel there's no end in sight. Seeing your finished product give me a boost. Thank you

"and we're happily married"

[@emilee3151]

Not only does the light blue on the porch ceiling help keep bugs away, the practice actually originates from Gullah folklore from the Lowcountry sea islands of South Carolina. The Gullah/Geechee people believe that painting the ceiling of your porch blue will help keep the Haints (evil spirits) from entering your home. The haints supposedly cannot cross over water and are fooled by the blue ceiling. This color blue is commonly referred to as “Haint Blue”, especially here in South Carolina and Georgia!

[@azteca132525]

WOW! you guys did a fantastic job on that place. I noticed the video was posted in 2020 and I am very certain material prices are way much higher in 2022 which should offer more motivation to renovate older homes because by doing so you save bundles of money on the materials already in place such as the skeleton (frame) of the house. So long as the frame is not rotted or deteriorated by termites. Fantastic job guys.

[@RobertRWarren-oz4]

In spite of how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, there is already an excessive amount of demand waiting to absorb it, which is another reason it's less likely to happen that way. This forecast was not made in 2008, at least not by the general public, as I will explain below. The ownership rate peaked in 2004, according to the other statement. We reached a peak in the second quarter of 2020 and are currently at the median level. From 2008 to 2012, it fell by 3%, and in the second quarter of 2020, it dropped from 68 to 65.

I don't get this comment section? He's a freaking real estate agent, they are SUPPOSE to talk a lot. And notice that's it's an HOUSE TOUR so again, THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO TALK. And he was going through what he was doing with the house.. 🤦🏾‍♀️

For all the geniuses yapping about the foundation here's a primer for you.

[@juliarodriguez-arreola5065]

Just casually binge watching your videos and clicked on this one because it looks like a house in my town…plot twist.. it is in my town! Love seeing Brownwood get some love! It really is inspiring for this small town!
