House Flip

[@73honda350]

Wow. The place is still tiny, but you've turned the interior into a functional, attractive, modern home. For your sake, I hope you can work the same magic on the exterior so it has a lot less of a 'ma & pa kettle' vibe from the curb.

[@investfourmore]

That's the plan

[@trishpipkins]

I knew you could make this better! Such a great example of showing why tearing down a house isn't always the most profitable option. BTW I PASSED MY EXAM! I am now licensed to sell insurance. Lol.

[@investfourmore]

Congrats!

[@trishpipkins]

@@investfourmore thank you

[@happeedaze1]

Congratulations!

[@barbarahaines7661]

Great color choices...and a lawn?wow.thank you for your posts

[@investfourmore]

Lawn was already there haha

[@RossTheGenMan]

Its nice to see houses get fixed up and made nice and usable.. in todays disposable society too many people wanna just throw things out and start new.

[@investfourmore]

👍👍

[@andysuber941]

I totally agree.

[@wassuupnick]

Yes please do a video on tear down vs renovate!

[@investfourmore]

👍👍

[@pattyputman4409]

I'm glad that Greeley is allowing stucco. I remember lots of years ago they halted and reversed a project due to stucco being applied. I love the transformation of the interior.

[@investfourmore]

Really? Crazy

[@deonmurphy6383]

Massive improvement, looks much better.

[@investfourmore]

Thanks!

[@glenellbandy2670]

Like the way you rearranged the little house to make it more livable.

[@onetuliptree]

#212 looks great and I like the stucco plan. I considered buying a house to tear it down and keep the empty lot, I was thinking $5000, yowza!

[@investfourmore]

It depends on the area!

[@valeriehopkins644]

Yes on cost of tearing down versus fixing.

[@investfourmore]

👍👍👍

[@hezedabarber4220]

You the goat. You inspire me so much to jump into the real estate game. Your a good dude man

[@investfourmore]

Thanks!!

[@carguy4658]

It looks good inside. Small, but very nice. A great use of the limited space. I have lived in smaller adobes. In Illinois, I lived in an old one car converted garage.

[@investfourmore]

Very cool!

[@carguy4658]

@@investfourmore; Yes it was very cool in winter. The whole place was heated by one of those bathroom registers. I was young and money was very short while I was in the Military.

[@shannahmiller]

The interior looks so much better. I can't wait to see it when the stucco is done. I'd be interested in seeing a cost breakdown between tearing a house down to replace it versus just improving whatever is there.

[@investfourmore]

Thanks!

[@wkjeom]

@@investfourmore I would think each house is unique so costs would be different for each one. Except if you have identical or very similar houses.

[@Rob_1515]

Love following along on this project! This place would make a great affordable starter home or retirement house for somebody.

[@investfourmore]

👍👍

[@Meadowswife]

Nice little place! You guy's did what you could.👍

[@investfourmore]

Thanks 👍

[@jimland4130]

Around here most just side over the asbestos. Have to use screws is the only catch. No nails.

[@investfourmore]

That was an option too

[@hildamasi4665]

Great job💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@PapasBlox]

Nice little place! It's small, but I could totally live there!

[@investfourmore]

👍👍

[@louvin5671]

That is a nice little house. From trash to treasure. Job well done. Your prices are much higher there than where I live. But you make sure things are done right.

[@investfourmore]

thanks!

[@akosisunako1745]

Clean and neat inside. Great house for a starting family.

[@kimcat7320]

Wow! What a difference! Looks great.Love the floor.

[@redneckbryon]

When it comes to asbestos there should government grants available to help with the cost, since it was an approved product in the first place. There’s settlement for asbestos related health problems, why not asbestos related building materials and it’s costs.

[@Stoffmonster467]

Here it is not really expensive to get the asbestos removed and dumped at a special place. It's cheaper than mixed household waste. It is forbidden here to cover it (only paint if the surface isn't damaged), so in any case I would get rid of it. Putting stucco on it doubles the costs for the next generation as you double the weight. I understand why it isn't done in that case - but here it would be nearly unsellable with asbestos.

[@nobonesaboutit7639]

@@Stoffmonster467 those shingles aren't really friable and can be removed easily by pulling the nails. The regulations are a joke and are mainly due to case chasers .

[@caroles5258]

You did a really good job on this house.

[@investfourmore]

Thanks!

[@happeedaze1]

I love the sliding closet doors. We lived in a small house for about 10 years and I always disliked the space the closet doors took up when opening them. Sliding bedroom doors would be awesome in a small house too. It would add a bit more space. Love what you do Mark, have a great day.

[@investfourmore]

Thanks!

[@kellimartinez3078]

The functionality of the place is so much better, y'all really maximized the square footage. My only complaint is the window above the vanity in the bathroom prevents having a mirror there. I'm sure there were cost reasons not to change the window placement.

[@investfourmore]

I know, that was unfortunate

[@NoName-gh3sg]

Hi hope you are having a great day!

[@NikkiVelazquez]

It's so much better! It'll be a great house for 1 or 2 people. Not everyone wants a large house. It's just more to clean!

[@investfourmore]

thanks!

[@Alexanderbuilds2001]

Wow. The interior and exterior is night and day difference.

[@sapphire56695]

The inside looks great! This would be a good starter home for someone or a small family. Yes, I would be interested in a tear down vs renovate video.

[@investfourmore]

Cool

[@neilschipper3741]

Interior looks great! Should be a easy sale for $349,000 for the people looking for a tiny house.

[@pcno2832]

Stucco seems like a good choice for covering up the asbestos; vinyl siding would have looked horrible on such a low, somewhat wavy building. If done right the stucco can last 100 years, so the house will be set for a long time. Nice choices on the inside as well; they aren't expensive, but they don't look cheap either. Maybe the new owner will add a few ductless heat pumps, to cut back on the expensive use of the baseboard heaters, and replace the couple of loss-leader-sized windows (the ones with the short sashes) but either way, it will be a nice little house.

[@rogernatale6953]

Can't say it doesn't have enough plugs in that place nearly every wall.

[@cheskydivision]

Wow. Looks good in there. Floor color is the only thing that seems off. In a small space a less busy color might be better.

[@bridgecross]

I would love to see the process of plastering over that siding. We have the exact same situation at our house; old cement board siding infused with asbestos. I never realized you could stucco over it. Did you make a vid with the finished result? How hard was it?

[@PLJ95.]

Yep me too, I wanted to SEE how they did it , but it never showed that part

[@betobeto7903]

Great vedio! thanks, question, what type of stucco process would you recommend and that you would use for your house?

[@Stoffmonster467]

Inside is really great, outside I would have decided different.

[@erichart9166]

Do you have any footage of the stucco work? It would be interesting to see how they did it.

[@investfourmore]

Just a tiny bit

[@pjmtts]

I have never understood demolition permit fees. There’s one town near me that charges $20,000 just like you to tear down a structure but in the next county over similar town and it’s $50. It’s really in their favor to make a cheap thing to do because the new building will have higher property taxes.

[@jenniferlawrence9473]

I love the colors! Talking about colors, your hair is going grey. It looks great!

[@investfourmore]

Yes I know...

[@afifita1]

Thankyou! Pls run the numbers on a tear down

[@andysuber941]

About how many square feet do you think this house has? I'm pretty impressed.

[@investfourmore]

620 I think

[@andysuber941]

@@investfourmore So, at least $370 per square foot. Man, prices are insane. The last house I built cost around $150 a sq foot and I felt like I was breaking the bank. That was about 20 years ago.

[@3LeftsandHome]

Do you mind sharing the cost to stucco it? My apologies if that’s for a later video. Always grateful for and enjoy you content! Keep crushing it

[@investfourmore]

about 6k

[@BJAvegan]

Nice work. Do you have a video of the stucco work on the house?

[@wkjeom]

Nice frames around the windows outside might look nice and not too expensive. Just a thought

[@kostantinosagoudemos8423]

How did this turn out? How did the company apply the stucco, crazy I just was talking about doing this, love the internet, subscribed!

[@vee8099]

You should come to Georgia. Property is cheap, and you could make a ton. A house in that condition sold here for $40,000. Just a little something to think about.

[@kaleb324]

is the wall in the closet by the washer/dryer hookups bowed as hell or is that the camera?

[@investfourmore]

Not sure. I didn't notice it

[@PatriceWolfe]

Just curious, are you required to inform potential buyers that you covered up the asbestos siding???

[@investfourmore]

I don't know for sure it is as it hasn't been tested but that us a gray area. Always better to over disclose

[@quietgecko8564]

Does that large looking parking lot also go with the house?

[@investfourmore]

No

[@NDBUTLER-nk5qb]

That is great work! I wish I could turn my little house that way. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

[@DoctorGnu]

Um but if you stucco over the siding . Is that legal ? I mean if anyone ever has to replace a board or beam they will have to cut into the stuck siding then into the asbestos. Please let me know if this matters?

[@investfourmore]

Yes it's legal. We permitted the job

[@robertroyds1332]

Um, see...the thing that makes asbestos tile so great for siding is that it does not expand or contract with the extremes of yearly seasonal temperatures. That asbestos shingle is exactly the same size in January as in July. Stucco does. It doesn't have to be a lot. It does, and the shingles do not. When the stucco expands in July and contacts in January, it will grind upon and powderize that asbestos, which you already said that you know is the one thing you can't do to asbestos.

[@investfourmore]

you cover the asbestos with foam first

[@loro9385]

Are you running into shortages on building supplies?

[@investfourmore]

not really shortages but more expensive and longer lead times

I was hoping to see the stucco and not the inside of the house... I'm bummed where is the stucco video ?

[@justinfalk3276]

Yuuup

[@nuns8126]

On the second bedroom by the kitchen you should have put the bedroom door to open into the bedroom instead of opening into the kitchen. Then you would have a little space to put a tiny kitchen table to eat at. There is right now nowhere to eat unless you eat on s small sofa in the living room. Yes this house should have been torn down long ago.

[@kathleenmichelet6585]

Why is that people stuco instead of restoring the original wood sidding. STUCO looks like you took the cheap way out.

What original wood siding?

[@emilywaddell2666]

"adding stucco over asbestos siding" literally just a few sentences of the entire video and nothing entailing the process. Lame.

[@blanksender7808]

That house is a fucking toilet. Zero idea why anybody would buy it pre or post flip. I wouldn't buy a "flip" either way.
