I BOUGHT MY FIRST INVESTMENT PROPERTY!!! MODERN BUILDS HOUSE TOUR

[@shanaproctor100]

This is great! Looking forward to this series. Congratulations!

[@graywilliams_77.]

@victoria jonas You have done great for yourself. I’m trying to get onto the housing ladder at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to similar success!

[@susannicky]

@victoria jonas May I ask which investments are good? I've had an apartment for quite a while now but I've found it difficult to increase the luxury of my interiors.

[@graywilliams_77.]

@victoria jonas The quickest way to make your first millions is to invest directly with an expert that is trustworthy and has made a name and individual billionaires .. I'm surprised you know her too!!

[@LaurentLenquette]

Bravo! Fridge facing IN the kitchen, 100%! Excited to see how it goes :)

[@ModernBuilds]

MY FIRST FLIP: ep1 coming soon!!!

[@yossid422]

Can't wait

[@moisemfull]

I like Mike's first flip better 😊

[@sabrina_sp]

Rotate the fridge torwards the kitchen and maybe build a pantry on the back.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Looks great, best of luck with the project 👊

[@EneiciaSB]

Call the show Modern Flips!

[@freckledspeckled5406]

We had one of those built ins in the hallway of our house. We had to demo our whole house anyway, so we rotated it to be behind the door in the bathroom so the hallway was less “busy”. It’s nice to have a spot for artwork in the hallway or just a blank wall instead of more doors

[@A.Mere.Creator]

aw come on you have to show us the workshop!

[@siddheshsharma2560]

Turn the refrigerator 90ʼ degree and go for shallow storage will look good . Also can do one thing paint the fridge in somy earthy or natural type color ( i think you got what i wanna say! ). It will be perfect. One more suggestion for bathroom you could use the approach that u used for your bus washroom a bit of tiling and some modern yet classic fittings will be best. Atlast, flooring in master bedroom is awesome. Please don't change that...

[@marvellac.1525]

Fridge should face the kitchen for easy flow. It may make a little more room for the pantry you want to build.

[@aaaliaaaliaaali]

Wow!!! Mike!! Awesome news!! Congrats 👏 Looking forward to new videos 😍

[@theovermanemily]

The place is rad and has tons of potential. Congrats! Face fridge to open toward the sink. And my apologies if another comment or comments mentioned this but the main bedroom is now referred to as primary. The other term is no bueno.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

This series will be epic. Who else is starting from the beginning and watching every epi?

[@sydneeallen5527]

Turn the refrigerator towards the kitchen. There is a principle of kitchen layout where the sink, fridge and the stove make a triangle. If you turn the fridge, toiled be able to make a triangle and the kitchen will be so much more usable.

[@rob5333]

Awesome buy with 5 acres of land! Crazy what you get compared to the west coast for the money. I bought a similar house with double detached garage for a similar price and you've already given me some great ideas.

[@pteddie6965]

Congrats, Mike. This house is going to be beautiful when you are finished with it. Wow, a sound house, a wonderful property and a terrific shop! You hit the trifecta, my friend. I know that I will enjoy watching you transform this property. Thanks for the video.

[@TealDwellings]

Cannot WAIT to see how this goes! YAAASSSS

[@DommoDommo]

Can't wait to see this series, love these renos you've been doing. Miss the bangbus!

[@isaackhakula5488]

congratulations...chasing mine too...inspired!

[@dksouthpawatx]

Rotate the fridge and build the little wall for sure

[@d1986ben]

Before you paint the concrete I would highly recommend an outdoor tile. It sets the mood before you even open the door. It’s more money but a better non-flip look.

[@jodirauth8847]

I would suggest limestone tile

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Congrats, Mike! Gonna be a fun project to follow....and that shop space 🔥

[@subuktageenfarooqi5712]

Mike if you're going for a Flip then you need a private bathroom in the master. I think combine the two other bedrooms to make a long master suite with private bath through the closet towards the backside of the house. The current master becomes a normal bedroom. Main Bathroom stays put and you expand into the back living room for another bed room. For flips specifically good design and functionality is better than being in budget because it allows you to get better prices vs staying in budget and getting lower value as good design was not achieved. you can replace the door and right window next to the kitchen with a slider and patio cover for light and making the space feel more open after you expand for the 2nd bedroom right of the primary bathroom.

[@TK-VIBIN]

Congratulations, This is gonna be a fun project mike, Can't wait for Mike's my first flip

[@love2maketypos506]

you should definitley rotate the fridge, as someone who enjoys cooking i can say that in a kitchen it's all about the flow like being able to turn around and grab or store ingredients.

[@CKYT2010]

Can't wait to see the transformation!

[@studioanf]

You should make the kitchen top cabinets ceiling height, looks so much slicker and adds visual height to the kitchen as well.

[@virginiaacunafuentes9839]

Can't wait to see how yo turn that old house into a modern beauty 🤩🤩

[@AMcho]

Good for you on your new purchase! DO turn the fridge and put a pantry behind it. It's just more efficient. But on revealing the toilets? IDK....that's bad qi (think feng shui). Seeing a toilet as soon as you walk into the bath is bad because the qi can go straight to the toilet, ie, your money will go straight to the toilet. You COULD remove the wall, but try to find a way to put something to replace it....maybe a resin translucent "screen" there, or a built-in skinny shelving unit that will provide more storage for those things that would end up on the countertop otherwise, or perhaps room for decor. We all want this to be a money-maker for you, as well as a good happy home for your buyer!

[@oznemur]

Definitely fridge faced into the kitchen. Looking forward to this project, good luck!

[@aaroncastellanos3421]

The beauty of a 1955 house is you can modernize it with mid-century modern architecture in mind. Go modern with all the baseboards, door and window trim but keep the wood floors and wood accents where appropriate. Maybe incorporate Cherry wood somewhere? For the half bath i'd definitely keep the sink and modernize or "retroize" everything else. The hallway linen closet should be kept since it's original and looks fine. There's lots of potential to make this house feel fresh, but not too away from its mid-century aesthetic.

[@dusiiaczek]

Great news! House has a lot of potential! Congrats 🏡👏🎉

[@kris_kreations]

Can’t wait!!!

[@BasilARBYIG]

Fridge toward the kitchen. More practical when taking ingredients for preparations and cooking.

[@pamcase8949]

CONGRATULATIONS! Another exciting adventure. I'm so excited for this new journey and wish you much success! I'll be watching all your episodes. Good luck.

[@tocold4you]

Can't wait to see the progress

[@Nazar51L]

About fridge: when you on kitchen you have to have like a triangle, fridge >sink>stove. So I would definitely recommend to turn it. It will save a lot of time when you cooking

[@jewdd1989]

The living rm, kitchen/dining is odd. I think the half wall at the back of the cabinets is outdated and the partial walls in the living rm are bizarre but I think the fridge facing the kitchen would be the most convenient as far as daily use goes. Pls don’t use ikea junk, build custom including a new bath cabinet, it’ll be worth it. Nice house to start renovating, a lot of cosmetic changes more than major reno hopefully. Love that shop, that’ll be great to use while building

[@ronthompson4522]

Great find Mike! Can't wait to see the videos of your progress!

[@romanroseborough1111]

Exciting! Looking forward to this series. Congrats!

[@jodirauth8847]

I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to see what you do.

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

facing the fridge into the kitchen will help with the work triangle of stove, sink, fridge.

[@judyfenske1429]

Hooray! You are "ready to start."

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Fridge pointed towards the kitchen. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Congratulations.

[@espnmk]

So happy Mike to be on this journey with you even if it's watching you thru this platform, work your craft.

[@northrupjr5]

You're going to kill it! Fridge towards the kitchen for sure.

[@durakis]

that was a great price for the land, good house, and shop. wow, nice find

[@Tmassey011]

Congrats man! Been following for years. Can't wait to see what you do with the spot.

[@alisonzhang6162]

Can't wait for this series!

[@Cberk03]

I think you have really good ideas for the property! personally id keep the bead board in the bathroom. i would definitly rotate the fridge to face the kitchen.

[@BlindSquirrelCarpentryy]

This is awesome. I am happy for you. I am starting where you did, and I can’t wait to get to your level.

[@trinidiva1000]

Congratulations Mike

[@terrirouleau4758]

You picked a great house. You will make it awesome😊❤

[@FISHFANATIC95]

I’m excited for this series! Congrats on the house

[@enliam3849]

Congratulations man can’t wait to see the progress

[@PhilBuildsThis]

I really loved watching this channel grow! I first started watching because I needed help with an outdoor kitchen for my new house and saw the concrete counter top out of wooden doors video. keep up the awesome work Mike and to more success in the future.

[@AndrewJQueen]

You could.. Down it from a 3 to a 2 bedroom and knock out the room next to the master and build a lux master suite! With a brand-new on-suite bathroom. That would make your current master bath a guest bath! Then you could get rid of the Kitchen bathroom altogether and push the Kitchen back doubling the size of the Kitchen! Then just Move your fridge into the extension where the bathroom was. Finish the Garage obviously and I like your plan for the built-in entertainment system.

[@kf5280]

Looking forward to the series, Mike! What kind of numbers are you aiming for resale vs rent? Do you have a budget in mind? Great opportunity to show people what renovations would cost if you DIY most of it vs contract it out. Maybe you could get a few quotes beforehand so you can more accurately calculate your savings. Cheers!

[@ryansexton8672]

Fridge facing the sink and stove, gotta have that magic kitchen triangle they talk about for functionality.

[@jessreadingcorner]

Heck yea Mike this is awesome! Looking forward to this series!!

[@beaner2907]

I'm so looking forward to this! I'm in the very slow process of renovating my small home and I love to see new ideas. Good luck with your new investment, I think you're going to do very well!

[@whatshellydoes7308]

Congratulations Mike! Anticipating all the episodes...and more SUPER PRO DIYs. It's going to look amazing!

[@1SunshineAtMidnight]

very very cool! excited to follow along!

[@tyreseforrest5574]

Congrats, keep up the good work. Your very inspiring. I'm about to do over my laundry room.

[@BrendanEvan]

I’ve been here since BEFORE modern builds started. Stoked to see you come so far Mike. Congrats🎉

[@TheBatteredPatriot]

Dude that's awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do whlith that bad boy!!

[@shayakahn2229]

Def keep the fridge facing the kitchen. Love the grind💪

[@bergman864]

I can't wait to see the work you do on this new property.

[@BigFourHead]

Yea push those house prices up!!!

[@adamglendye]

Heck yes!!! Love it

[@cisquo]

Fridge to the kitchen with the shallow cabinets!

[@dayshola6203]

Refrigerator turned facing the sink in my opinion. Great video!

[@tannerknox72]

The place looks great! One thing that I have seen is people will put in LVP over the original hard wood floors to keep them from getting torn up by renters, then if the renters ever mess up the flooring, it is easier to replace the LVP. If you ever decide to sell this place, you can pull the LVP up and finish the hardwood flooring at that point.. I'm excited to see this project!

[@deathtearsroses2316]

Oooo I’m excited for this series😊

[@nicoleellis21]

Fridge towards kitchen is my vote

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

Even with the house needing help, you scored with the acreage and that shop was just icing on the cake. Here in VA it would have cost as it sits easily around $300K. But wow, what a location change from Joshua Tree to the OK state. Still interesting.

[@carolyntorres3827]

Congrats 🎊🎈🎉🍾

[@tacomapappas]

Congrats on the house, stoked for the build and new content for us!!

[@akomon3538]

just love your energy and the work you do \ love these renos you've been doing I will forever appreciate this channe

[@emilytorres1050]

I’d put the fridge where the dishwasher is, dishwasher where the oven is, (new) oven as part of the peninsula

[@karolgarley]

I just love your energy and the work you do!!! 🙂

[@squirrel8296]

Fridge needs to open into the kitchen to preserve the work triangle. It'll also look better.

[@JacobHGamez]

Awesome!

[@mostafaelgamel6415]

That backyard looks to me like a great solar farm!

[@hamyncheese]

Why would you want to spoil everything with a solar farm?

[@mostafaelgamel6415]

@@hamyncheese it’s investment property, fence half of it, sell electricity to municipalities or crypto mining

[@YamanAlkamaly]

congrats, all the best to you my friend

[@shaymcquaid]

Can't wait to see the videos of your progress!

[@Caracatola]

I admire your vision and desire to grow! Congratulations!

[@Whatsacody]

Excited for this series, it's this type of content that I found you from!

[@sophiamazza6108]

The fridge should definitely face towards the kitchen. That way you can create the kitchen triangle

[@teddepalma8057]

Looks like a fun project! Voting for you to rotate that fridge to face into the kitchen. And you gotta save that crazy mid-century looking light fixture in the second bedroom! Find a home for it, even if it's just over a workbench.

[@mcheddadi]

Love it. The land is HUGE ! Can't believe this cost only 150K. damn! Nice W!

[@MLfounder]

Leave the cabinets alone! They look good enough and refinishing/matching an extended piece won't give enough value for the massive amount of time it will take. You have a good eye for design and could totally make those cabinets work

[@alannabalderas2962]

Congrats!

[@glenard02]

Can’t wait to see this 🖖🏼

[@loveforeignaccents]

Can't wait to see what you do with this place!

[@joseescamilla2521]

@ModernBuilds you bought the same house I put a bid on. Love what you did to my future home lo

[@RogerSmth]

I would suggest leaving the fridge where it is. That way people can get drinks while someone is cooking in the kitchen without crowding the space.

[@johnkenerson71]

Man, that is pricey for Midwest City. It looks like a rough neighborhood, but since that area is being developed, you might be able to make some money on it. Can't wait to see the finished project.

[@jonathanr7520]

Congratulations my dude.

[@yota87truck]

I'm here for Day 1!
