Before and After House Flip With the Abandoned Camper

[@mikhailhunter5277]

Very good video, I like the break down on the numbers, no corny music, no fancy editing. Just problem solving and understanding numbers and this makes this video better than any flipping show on HGTV.

[@investfourmore]

Thank you! I hate corny music

Moving the camper is as simple as renting a truck with a hitch and moving it to the streets.

[@elisscaliving5864]

You’ll get sued

[@harleydude-xo8pu]

[@Sselena3395]

I think this little house looks great inside with the updates/changes. I'm a Colorado native and feel like I know the kind of neighborhood this house is in. It doesn't need to be really fancy and honestly, it's now probably one of the nicest small homes around!

[@investfourmore]

thank you

[@brianv.5686]

Maybe your MLS listing could include the camper, with the term "Mother in Law Quarters included" !

[@investfourmore]

As a bonus, the mother in law quarters is mobile for when you can't deal with her.

[@geecoffee1]

heck yeah! flip that camper!

[@selenamae7063]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@ConnieNY2013]

Cute house with a yard, park, garage, and the kitchen was an awesome transformation.

[@mildredjohnson7166]

I love that huge kitchen & what I think is pretty interesting is that the camper disappeared. To bad it didn't do that in the begining. Very nice house and yard. I still luv that kitchen.

[@investfourmore]

Thanks!

[@maggiesue4825]

You hook a truck up to the camper in the middle of the night and tow it several streets away and let the city deal with it. These are squatters, and it's so irritating that the law "can't" do anything about it.

[@inspire734]

Moth balls and amonia, will smoke anyone out if you can pump it into the place. People can't breathe with it.

[@greenearthblueskies8556]

🤔😡

[@mariayelruh]

I'm not surprised to see the hookups for the washer and drier in the kitchen (which is what was there in the before video). There isn't a basement and having a separate laundry room while nice would have taken away from other areas. I grew up with a washer & drier in the kitchen. It was an early 1800's house in NE and the basement had low ceilings, dirt floor for part of it and a steep staircase. A lot of people will think it's weird to have them, but for such a small house I'm glad you didn't remove them.

[@investfourmore]

Thank you

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

As big as the kitchen is a better layout could of given a space for a small wash and dryer room… 🙄 such a chopped up kitchen… everything is far apart… the rest of the home is ok…

[@TheSeedOfChange]

Did you grow up with a shower in your kitchen? Because there was a shower in this kitchen. haha

[@precybheang6866]

💖Wow.. I Love it. Thank U for sharing💖

[@Trenttabor]

I lik what you did with the place but would suggest putting more emphasis on landscaping. A few hundred bucks on plants/mulch/re-seeding lawn, etc will go a LOOOONG way.

[@cneo9400TX]

i was thinking the same thing but then again it is CO. Here in HOU, 0 landscaping would get you 0 sells.

[@kev7161]

I agree. That fire pit could have been spruced up. Heck that entire back yard and the fence could have been improved upon and that could definitely add to the selling price by quite a bit. I guess. I'm not a real estate or flipper kind of person!

[@rochellejames6204]

You are such a blessed person. I wish that I could buy just one of these abandoned houses in my small city. The craziest part of it is, there is not much wrong with the houses. Parents die, children live out of state and they can't agree to sell or rent them so, the houses just sit empty.

[@investfourmore]

Thank you

[@karenhernke281]

The kitchen looks so much better!! Wow!! Great job. Even painting the garage helped a ton!!

[@investfourmore]

Thank you

[@SheayWithLove]

I know the company I used to work for would do it if you posted the proper notices. But they are based in Breckinridge, CO call Ryan’s Recovery I know this has passed but in the future that company is really really great and they have a great relationship with lots of cities and knowledge. Tell them I recommended them! Great owner and manager!

[@Isthatchicken01]

Camper issue aside, the house looks great once it was worked on and can totally see myself living in it. Still some thing I would personally change like all the bathrooms and the yard. But just as a quick flip it works. I also like the separated garage.

[@joannahampton3808]

Curb appeal is needed in most of your flips especially this one!

[@marlinmr7]

Camper aspect of this was unique and interesting but in the end you won Mark! Would have been nice to see a little more profit but you won! The house looked way better as usual after the rehab and again as I have said before and will probably do so in the future - love how much attention to detail Nicki and you give to the homes you rehab before selling them. I have seen to many homes that were supposedly rehabed where as a comparison my garage and/or some old non-used barns in this area are in better condition. Keep up the good work and always look forward to more videos! :-)

[@investfourmore]

[@Avotts]

ok, now i have a question....what happened to washer and dryer? I see you left hookups in the kitchen. i thought the units did not look too bad. i thought you might relocate them to the back ok the garage. really nice planter beds...could really use a couple colorful plants, would have been very eyecatching. Could have thrown out some grass seeds or mulch if you did not want to spend money for sod. just a few things thst wiuld really turn me off if i were looking to buy.

[@investfourmore]

You can't have the washer and dryer in the garage in Colorado. plus you would have to run plumbing all the way back there. They were junk so the contractors got rid of them.

I'm about to flip a similar size house in a similar type of neighborhood (suburb of Minneapolis). It has cedar shake siding, which is in pretty good condition but being a realtor myself I'm nervous Buyers will be turned off if I just paint it instead of putting the typical vinyl on. Do you have any insight on when you replace siding or when to paint?

[@investfourmore]

That all depends on comps and your feel for the area. Stuff like that can be very market specific

[@yelloworangered]

why did you decide not to straighten the fence and paint its interior? just curious.

[@investfourmore]

We did paint the interior

[@tonydomenech7324]

Where did you buy the house. In Canada? .where.

[@spikefivefivefive]

How can the owners not have a place to put it if it truly had been stolen? I mean, wouldn't you come and get your rightful property and put it right back where it was?

[@3pointkiller55]

you are the reason for making me think flipping homes are easy to do

[@investfourmore]

Not easy, but doable

[@OfftoShambala]

You gotta be ready with people to do the work or be able to work fast on getting the work done if you are leveraging money and have to make payments. If you end up having to make six months to a years worth of payments, that can reallly cut into the profits and you need the cash to make those payments. Mark has an established infrastructure, which makes a difference. We just did a house ourselves and we don't do our own deals, but work for people like mark... there are a lot of little "tricks" that experienced people know about and knowing where to spend the money makes a difference... but, Mark is a good model to follow in my opinion. You should definitely try it, but go into it expecting there to be a learning curve and make sure you are financially prepared.

[@investfourmore]

Good points!

[@knittingnana2939]

If the camper magically appeared, i would make it magically disappear by hooking it up and towing it away. Anywhere but my property. Also washer/dryer in kitchen for me is super weird but i guess better than no washer/dryer at all .

I would have to check again lol

[@MarkHakeScottsdaleAZ]

The problem with this example is it does not show the cash out vs. Cash in comparison. I went through this carefully and I estimate he lost $21k on a cash basis. For example the cash out will reflect 20% down cash payment for the loan. Also I estimate his helper cost his company $17k on a 40 hour work week @$15 per hour for 6.4 months. So maybe he broke even if the helper didn't work that much. I wish Mark show actual cash payments out, not the profit.

[@mikejd35d23]

Move the camper onto the street in the middle of the night. I've don it before with cars and trailers on my properties. I rent a U-Haul to do it instead of using my truck. Leave it somewhere and you will never hear about it again. When the cops show up I say somebody must have stolen it, lol.

Way over complicating the camper situation. Push that thing into the street, now its the cities problem, and its not your vehicle (supposed to be registered to somebody) and if its not registered, it gets towed away and auctioned off.

I'd hook the camper up to my truck in the middle of the night and haul it about 30 miles away. Of course that part would be edited from my youtube video!!

A house that ugly (in the beginning) would sell for 30,000 in my area. There are some drop dead gorgeous houses that sell for 140,000 in my area as well and even prettier fancy houses for 220,000++. I live in a decent sized city in Texas. Location location LOCATION. Nice work in the end though

[@investfourmore]

True, but your taxes are 5 times as high

[@zxtenn]

WOW, those investors/lenders sure aren't cheap % wise considering you're both in the same business more or less, that's close to double the rate of a mortgage but similar to a banks personal loan and probably quicker since they are familiar with your strategies and quick repayment they probably just cut you a check.

[@investfourmore]

I can get a wire in a day if needed. no appraisals or junk fees either.

[@zxtenn]

@@investfourmore Thats excellent, I am sure your lenders know you aren't going anywhere and have built up a solid reputation with them. Since this is a 5-year-old video and you mentioned its getting more difficult to find great deals in older videos i guess in 2024 you need to thoroughly research and be patient 1st.

[@sheldonhighsmith3333]

All you had to do was NOT notify law enforcement and pull the damn thing in the street. Then the city would have had to tow it. If the owner came back id just say "hey i didnt see any camper !"

[@le_th_]

Where I live, this house would be no less than $600,000 BEFORE before it was rehab'd.

[@TourPace]

It would go for about $100k, post remodel, in my area of the Midwest. (And 'minimum wage' jobs start out at $12/hour, so it's pretty affordable here!!)

[@myoldfarmhouse4316]

Where the freak do you live?!?!

[@TourPace]

Western Wisconsin. Less than an hour to the Twin Cities

[@zxtenn]

That sounds like an ODD story regarding the camper and the police as it had no plates on it so wondering how the supposedly real owners knew it was there unless somehow they drove by that house and saw it sitting there? Hard to believe a squatter could have the ability to move a camper and drop it off in someone's backyard but the bottom line is it's gone. The laws for squatting and bad tenants rights seem 100% geared towards them and not towards the owner. Seems like 30-50K is your average profit? Thats good when you consider you have multiple flips and sales going on annually.

[@owleyes71]

So I guess the best option from what you said is to simply move the camper yourself to the street, and THEN call the police. haha.
