how I feel being in LA + touring houses for sale!

[@SarahSchneider2]

When looking for a place to live Feeling safe in the neighborhood and the house layout are the top things for me. Next would be distance to grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, other retail stores, etc.

[@Michelangelo-m1o]

I loved the part where you and Monica hung out with the dogs! How cute are they!❤🐶🐕

[@Cat-qn1yw]

Hi Shelby! I’m really looking forward to the video with homes in L.A. In this video I felt we were rushing all over. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun and like you said, it felt like it was over too soon. But that’s a good thing. Leave us wanting more. Seattle looks beautiful in the summer warmth! 🩵

[@Neezabja]

Before leaving Seattle can you make a video about the Edgewater hotel in down town? It's fairly unique in that it's built on a pier with water facing rooms that guests could and were encouraged to catch fish from when it originally opened and it's also where many touring musicians like the Beatles and the notorious Led Zeppelin would stay back in the 60s and 70s.

[@kerri1253]

Love that hotel! So cool to see all of the massive cruise ships docking and leaving.

[@ChaiLatte13]

I saw that Palm Springs is going to get catastrophic flooding and high winds from the hurricane. Hope everything will be ok with your house and family.

[@msbgone]

I just came here to say the same thing! I wonder if the Solar panels are up yet, I hope so, that makes the roof stronger! Now they just talked about Joshua Tree as well, hope there land stays ok!

[@ChaiLatte13]

Yeah Joshua Tree is going to get bad flooding. I don't think she's actually broke ground there yet, but could be wrong. @@msbgone

[@msbgone]

I agree, I do not think they broke ground, still getting permits...

[@judymcfadden3577]

Love seeing houses in LA. Don't give up! Sam is so cute, and looks great in blue, lol😊

[@camelliaghotbzadeh2576]

I liked this vlog a lot Shelby and so good seeing you back in LA! I agree that LA has so much to do and, coming from a girl who is from OC, there's so many pros to living in this city. There's always a new neighborhood/restaurant to check out, a fun summer event (often free!), and overall pretty good weather so can't complain living here! I definitely don't take it for granted and don't let the prices right now get you down, it seems like there are some solid options out here for homes

[@NormanF62]

Don’t confine yourself to looking in LA. Try the Long Beach Orange County area. You might find better value in the exurbs. Growing up, I lived in the east Long Beach neighbourhood and my alma mater, CSULB, was a few blocks down from where I lived, so I never had to stay in the student dorms there.

[@dexter_johnson]

975k on that first house is deterrent enough for me.

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

Lol for real

[@kcroeder]

Especially in the valley

[@megcreates2.0]

That is an insane price for that small of a house! 1 bath & literally on the freeway! It’s so ridiculous how much housing is these days!😔

[@josephaugello1527]

​@shelbychurchvlogs look at vegas, phoenix, your mom and dad will probably move there when the novelty wears iff here it will in a few years. Interest rates are going higher it's the trump appointees agenda on getting people mad at the current president. I do think president biden is to old. Do people want a nut or a president that's to old

[@MsCdngrrl]

You had me on pins and needles for the whole vlog waiting for you to announce you were moving to LA. That air bnb house in the hills was stunningly gorgeous, who wouldn’t live there.

[@nosoulgrl]

Finding a decent home is so hard right now, I've been looking for almost a year now for something I really love and it's been so difficult. I hope you find something soon so we can get started on the moving vlogs!!! ❤❤

[@mochibear8933]

You always seem to have an extra pep in your step in LA or Palm Springs, maybe it's the weather or you just feel at home there. I think you're right about investing in property, flipping anything isn't going to see a huge return over the next few years. Longer term yes. Depends what your aims are.

[@Renee529]

I love your vlogs and main videos! You put so much effort into them. Honestly you are my favorite vlogger❤

[@hearinla]

Seeing what craziness is happening in Palm Springs today, if you could give us a quick update, even a Short that all the Churches and the Racquet Club are ok - that'd be great, because by now when most of us see Palm Springs you are the first person we think of!

[@josephaugello1527]

The palm springs area is a death trap. Picture when that earthquake hits everyone will be stuck in a disaster. The area has no flood control channel. With climate change this will happen again. It's suppose to be a bad winter

[@jj-if6it]

Sam looks so happy when he's around you ❤

[@justin_miller]

I'm in the Greenville area! So neat seeing your last vlog and flying out of GSP.

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

Hey Shelby, funny question, are you usuing both Davinci Resolve and FCPX to cut your videos? Salutations from grey but almost warm Ireland! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘

[@chasescomedyshow]

I love seeing you live in Seattle during the summer. However, your LA Vlogs in the winter was so refreshing to me as someone that lives in Missouri with a winter climate lolol. Idk how to explain it

[@maxplanck9055]

Shelby at her warm and charming self, I always find her engaging even when nothing is happening,good job Shelby ✌️❤️🇬🇧much love

[@hilgi2003]

Good job on solar! I got it this summer along with two power walls, I love it!

[@Demondcooks]

My favorite KZbinr!! Great vid Shelby

[@taylorlane6289]

I love that cow is your favorite. She’s so cute it makes me want a sheepland

[@koober1]

Chipotle can blast their music loud too! And I've noticed stuff like that bothers me the older I get 😂 I've started wearing my AirPods in places that are loud now

[@Ms431967]

Keep looking Shelby! Houses will come up! And look in different areas! You will find something great you can make an offer on & then refi when rates come down!

[@i.am.heather]

I’m curious about y’all having to stay in the hotel while Monica’s buyers stayed at the townhouse 😅 it is very much giving “only happens to Monica” vibes. Idk why lol

[@jenniferharney6339]

I stayed at that hotel a few months ago for work. It was so beautiful ❤I cannot wait to go back there with my husband 🎉

[@KristaHarrisSB]

Hang in there, you’ll find the right house at the right time!

[@itsbittersweetest]

I had one of those tennis bungee cords as a kid for practise. I loved a backboard though still my favorite.

[@lafenn5332]

Hi Shelby. I used to play college tennis and thought if there was a tennis pro near you, you could do a tennis workout which is like a gym class but also involves hitting a lot of balls/ doing a lot of drills. Don't know what they charge but you get the instruction plus the workout and after getting your breath back it is a fun way to exercise.

[@you2bevsgoogle]

I need coffee now😆☕ new word scatchy 🤔zwielichtig😄 What is Sam working thats very interessting VR 🤔I like the chill time with Monica and the pizza 😅

[@toordal]

0:24: Looks almost like the view from inside Tim Allen's character(actor Jason Nesmith) in "GalaxyQuest" That's supposed to be the Hollywood Hills.

[@jackson5228]

Omg you were at Akasha in Culver! I used to work there. Also a favorite spot for dinner 🙌🏼😍

[@msbgone]

Good luck with that storm coming in to your rental home and your new JT project!!

[@kbfarris17]

Loving the striped top you’ve been wearing! Would you share where you got it? 😊

[@iambatman6120]

The solar panels will definitely help with profits, meaning you get more money for house hunting. Brows look great too!

[@Chutney1luv]

Shelby, I loved this vlog! You getting your solar panels is the best! Check on the tax credit deductions for next year! Also, when picking the right neighborhood, check with the Chamber of Commerce for direction!" Security, security, and more security! Did anyone ever tell you that Sam looks like a young "Clint Eastwood?" He does! 😅 Also, it was nice seeing Monica, Cow, and the dogs! Those buyers must have really wanted to move into that home! That's odd because I've never heard of a buyer moving in before a close, unless it was "Rent To Buy." 🧐 Watch the movie "Pacific Heights" wirh Michael Keaton! 🙄smh

[@Parker-Green]

I've noticed the same thing with music in a lot of coffee shops and I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of what you mentioned!

[@carolschneid]

Just saw the titled and SMILED!! Yahhhhh i was really hoping Shelby would be somewhere with warm weather, i live through her in CA!!

[@rachaeloregon38]

If you want a fun reno, what about buying in smaller city with good tourism and flip or rent it?

[@Sara-qg5vs]

Haha Monica offering up your home to her clients😂 why didn’t she just have them stay in the hotel you guys stayed at instead ?

[@JessicaLaShawn]

You know I love my coffee but I started taking Lions Maine when I fell like I need another cup of coffee. In about 2 hours I feel absolutely AMAZING and sleep like a baby!!!!! I hope this helps because I am a whole new woman and super grateful. I buy the 365 brand and just twist the capsules open and just drink it like that instead of just popping them.

[@duc25xr]

Nice to see you're moving back to LA!

[@hearinla]

SOOOOOO HAPPY YOU PICKED LA OVER ALLLLL THE COOL CITIES IN THE WORLD! This video made our day!

[@victorc8804]

My favorite houses are 2 stories and less than 20 years old 3,500 to 4,000 square feet 4 bedroom 3 bath 2 car garage maybe 3 car garage and a big white kitchen I'm into white in the kitchen, enpugh room to add a pool and jacuzzi if their is no pool or Jacuzzi in back yard and tall trees for privacy I do not need no mansion 😅

[@megcreates2.0]

I chuckled when you said “you need to go on D&D” cuz my kids play D&D, I was like she doesn’t seem like the person to play D&D 😊 (I keep telling my son to write ones to sell cuss he’s an amazing creator)! They both have their BA in film & theater.

[@exploringfindeverything]

Shelby, personally I don't why you don't float around your parents house and live there for a while. I really felt horrible for you on the house selection in the valley you had to look at. I felt you were unsettled unless you were at the Airbnb and I could see your soul sing. Love your vlog Shelby!!

[@SabrinaDugan]

i think would live on the beach Los Angeles is beautiful

[@annach5495]

Love your diamond necklace. Can you please share where the necklace is from?

[@Reyeesss]

Love the valley ! 818 native hope you find something !

[@steveklumb806]

Shelby. What model solar panels are those? We have a home in PS, put solar on a few years ago. But we want add more. I like the mono black color and the size of your panels are huge.

[@seanharding]

I loved LA when I lived there. I think the thing I noticed was that you need money to really enjoy LA. If you're just scraping by (or worse), it can be pretty brutal. The housing/rental market is rough and if your budget is low, you have to live in areas that aren't really convenient to the fun stuff. Most of the things I like doing there (e.g. the great restaurants and bars) are expensive. Etc. I think as long as you have enough money, it's a great place, and I definitely miss it, but I also understand why it's less pleasant for a lot of people.

[@saratemp790]

I love that patterned carpet at that Airbnb. I wonder where they got it.

[@linneb2954]

Shelby you need to find a handball wall to practice your swing. I used to use the garage wall at my parents house.

[@cosmosunited]

Loved it! Can't waot for the house touring video!

[@nancydineen6797]

Is moving to Sam’s area of the country ever being considered?

[@kimberlygonzalez3148]

June gloom was TOO REAL this year in LA. 😭 I remember the 2nd week of June was still so cloudy and chilly?? I was like wtf summer hurry up

[@omradiant]

I live in west LA. The weather makes up for 10 bad things.

[@patr70]

West LA such as Culver City, Westwood, Century City, and Brentwood are good areas.

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

the weather is soooo good

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Hey Shelby ❤ love your channel.

[@Desert_Dreamin024]

I would have just paid for a hotel room for the buyers 😅

[@popyNcorny]

Yeah I was confused about why they did it that way haha

[@thetravelingwanderer]

Sweetgreen is coming to Seattle soon!

[@btk1243]

Shelby, did you consider chillin' in the Tesla (camping mode) while you waited for your 90 degree Palm Springs house to cool down?

[@AB-tb7bt]

When Shelby said, "gonna go in DnD" I thought it was Dungeons and Dragons for a second lol! :D

[@home-space]

That first home that had been done up looked okay, but IMO the big error was trying to sell it empty and not dressed and no real landscaping. A second permitted bathroom could potentially be added

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

Housing hunting is so much fun? Right? I looked at so many houses. I bought in 2021 and there were bidding wars. It took 14 offers before I got a house. Buyers were paying over $100k over listing price back then. I think the bidding wars are over now.

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

it is super fun!! even when the houses aren't that great I still love looking

[@Matthanna90]

Hey Shelby! Have you tried Hydration/Electrolyte packs in the morning? I have been doing it for a few weeks now and it truly helps eliminate the afternoon crashes. The science behind it is the sodium and other electrolytes help really hydrate your body for the day and its always good to get 16-20 ounces of water in right in the morning. LMNT or Redmond's Re-Lyte are some great brands to look into - hope it helps!

[@thehammah8039]

Why the valley? I live in Hermosa Beach and honestly you would do better finding a place closer to LAX with all the travel you do. Maybe not right in Hermosa or Manhattan but Redondo and Torrance have some great places.

[@davisneves]

true & the weather is worse in the valley... like 10 degrees hotter than just over the hill in Hollywood. summers are miserable in the valley

[@sandy949]

Love that AirBNB, so nice!!

[@jessjessbobessmess]

Wow I thought you were Monica in the 11:26 clip!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Loved the vlog 💕

[@manbuckets]

Great video as always!

[@davisneves]

I love LA so much! :D come back! haters can leave!

[@kgal1298]

Hahaha I like it too and I live here. Either you like it or don't. I think people feel like some people who like it move because they're rationalized into focusing on negatives, but I've been here like 15 years and it works for me. Hell I was just in Hawaii and they don't get it at all but maybe because they expect everyone wants to live in Hawaii and LA is terrible, but not me islands are like small towns I can't do small towns.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I'm soooo bad at working while traveling and I feel like I've been traveling more than I've been home. Not a great combo, lol.

[@shelbychurchvlogs]

It's so much harder! it's exhausting! glad I'm not the only one haha

[@EMSpdx]

It is hot AF here in Portland and that wet shirt hack is REAL.

[@mahoganydrive]

I still don’t understand what brow threading is! Good luck with deciding on a house and where to live.

[@orchid51551]

Brow threading is awesome. Usually cheaper than waxing and they can clean them up better.

[@CK1000ism]

Your brow person does really good work!

[@karlyd7274]

I'm so curious about solar panels so it'll be interesting when you update on how they are doing. If you ever get another Tesla, you need to get a pretty blue one like that rental, it matches your eyes! 😊

[@TritonTv69420]

What does ya boi Sam do?

[@pavelushakov6612]

RE vs Stocks, I like how Kiyosaki said it - “For example, when a person asks, "Is real estate is a good investment?" I reply, "I don't know. Are you a good investor?" Or if they ask, "Are stocks a good investment?" again my answer is the same, "I don't know. Are you a good investor?”

[@justincosplay]

What’s the adapter called ?

[@Jeroen74]

Looks like it's a Shure X2U.

[@Jeroen74]

So... can I conclude from 'feeling torn about where to move' that LA is not what you've decided? Or haven't you made a final decision yet and LA is still a possibility?

[@gingin1050]

Running around and eating😂❤

[@patr70]

One thing I have noticed since you have mostly been in Seattle and Palm Spring this last year.. is that when you're in L.A.(especially central L.A.) that you definately don't feel as relaxed and safe. I can tell by the way that you are walking(while filming) that you're definately "on alert" in case someone tries to do something. Life is too short to have yo be that way. 🙄💕

[@ih458]

Monica looks so much like y'alls mom!

[@debbydhill]

I would take about 6 friends into the coffee shop and start dancing like you are at a rave. 😉

[@lexie1371]

Is Sam a millionaire?

[@samkawer]

Which freeway

[@jj-if6it]

Exciting!

[@patr70]

At 2:55 The freeway is right there.. Yikes 🤤 Do you know how dirty the air is near freeways? Your house will be filthy inside in less than a month.. unless you're [always] cleaning.

[@user-ii1mo7oi1f]

We need a story time for the buyers situation????

[@VeggiesbyEos]

The music at a coffee like that would be enough for me to not go back 🤷

[@pit5000]

I kinda like the first one. I’ll tolerate a single bathroom if it’s really well done.

[@laurastone6578]

What do you mean your MAIN CHANNEL video?

[@jj-if6it]

this is the vlog channel?

[@roguewavecreative]

i’m super surprised that you work in coffee shops a lot and you don’t have like a AirPod maxes or something I actually edit video a lot and whenever I’m like in airports or coffee shops of I’m always wearing those things because otherwise, it would be hard to concentrate concentrate. too much going on but anyways and also I have to tell you I am super impressed how well you edit videos on that on a laptop it’s funny I have a Apple Studio Display and I clamshell my laptop. I have a MacBook Pro and I’ll run into the Apple Studio Display me I’m super impressed that laptop because I really need that real estate but I actually use an iPad as a second screen. It helps quite a bit but anyways he continued success in great work.

[@ronin7645]

So I agree with you about the housing market. I also stopped looking as an investor. Instead, I've turned to buying land here in California. Bought my first one 2 months ago at a good price ( $160k for 5-ish acres). I'm in the process of putting 1 manufactured home and one destination trailer on the property and rent them out (maybe even selling 1 as a family is interested in that right now). I kid you not when I say both homes are really nice. The destination trailer cost me $89k (not including having them tow it to my location) and it's 42 ft long. It's a 2022 model so the price was cut significantly but man, I had no idea how nice they really are. The new manufacturered home cost right at $300k and it's 1800 Sq ft. Again, really nice. The land needed to be site prepped for the 2 homes because it was raw land. Got a site survey which tests the soil, maps your property line, easement, etc. All turned out good to build on. Took bids on getting the site prepped for the 2 homes (leveling out the terrain for the homes, gravel driveway, etc. That costs $36k. Power was at the main street off the property so thank God I didn't have to do a long power run. The city quoted me $11k to run that power line. Blood suckers I tell ya 😂 All in all it has been really fun, albeit a learning process with a couple costly mistakes on my part. No HOA, low property tax, all for under $600k (so far, fingers crossed). Gonna add landscaping which will be around $100k (it won't be so I budgeted $150 for it just in case. Well, not just in case. I've sourced out too many landscaping jobs in my lifetime to know that shit always comes out higher than I planned.😂 I may airbnb them out because they have awesome lake and mountain views but we'll see what I decide on that one. The demand isn't quite there for it in my opinion but we'll see. All that to say, you may want to look into buying land instead of homes and put a few units on that land if the numbers look right. It may be a good substitute until the housing market cools down. Anywho, thought I would give my 2 cent thoughts with the hope of providing options. ✌️

[@Deepskysunnyside]

$975k for a quadruplex instead?

[@Jesswalla]

Invest with the goal of paying cash for a house from your profit. That would make SUCH a good video!!!

[@Jeroen74]

With at best 8% rate of return per year, and capital gain taxes when those assets are liquidated, we're talking decades before she can buy anything. If I plug in some numbers in an online ROI calculator: Initial investment:$200K Additional investment: $4000/month Rate of return: 7% Expected inflation: 2.9% Tax rate:15% After 25 years you end up with $3,546,745 and you've invested $1,400,000; in 25 years that probably does not buy you anything special. In the mean time she still needs somewhere to live which also costs money. I'd say a mortgage is a better way, investing is something of the really long-term. That said, a video on this subject would be very interesting indeed 👍

[@indiesludge]

Just catching up 😇

[@TonyThomas10000]

Personally, I think that the housing market and the stock market are going to crash...or at least make a major adjustment.

[@r.ichie.]

the first is terrible because you can hear the freeway in your backyard. Imagine paying 1 mil to get lung cancer

[@grapesyrop]

i think when ur in LA you seem more happy and vibrant
