NEVER Buy These Type Of Houses!

[@xephael3485]

I've looked at over 300 houses in person and thousands upon thousands online I'm sure... Don't get dissuaded or settled for what you don't want you'll find it eventually

[@boningousa4390]

Wow!!! How long have you been looking?

[@xephael3485]

@@boningousa4390 I was looking since 2014..many offers submitted and life issues. Eventually I did an auction which was crazy, but I would have never been comfortable with bidding without seeing all the other properties..

[@Lauren-yq3ds]

This is why I don’t want to move even though I have to drive an hour to work. Our house is almost paid off. It may not be the newest (very old), prettiest, or best house, but we have slowly been replacing everything that needs replaced over the past 10 yrs. Not everyone does that and when you buy a new house it’s like starting over. It may be a pig but it’s our pig and I know what shade of lipstick is on it.

[@AmeliaValdovinosalways]

Buying new construction could also be a cool option. Or getting a loan construction and customize

[@griffinstewart9327]

Cope lol

[@Hickory323]

This video is encouraging. I haven't heard anyone talk about being a picky buyer for a long time. You'd just be lucky to get a house under contract.

[@TT-co3gj]

Yup. We are seeing a ton of very bad flips here recently. Some of the LLC 's are out of state and having repairs by in state "contractor" who just butchered it

[@thegodofwater75]

Same with my area

[@happy153ful]

Omg when he said I don't like the vibes of the house 😂 completely me on my house hunt.

[@sheepman6291]

I have learned so much from this channel. Thank you, Javier.

[@franciscoruiz8612]

Sucks bc you see these sellers all over Southern Cali and ppl keep paying more and more for these mediocre over priced houses..

[@astromoosie]

Same in Houston, TX.

[@boningousa4390]

We are closing on April 15th. Your vidoes have been very helpful to us. Especially the video about dealing with lenders. We ended up getting a good deal from one of the lenders we applied with.

[@luck9837]

Congratulations man👍🏻

[@AnthonyNajera]

We bought our house from open door. It was listed at 340k sat for a few months and slowly trickled down to 325. Negotiated down to 315 plus got closing costs paid and they also agreed to reconstruct our garage (it was falling apart).

[@AriannaArdent-rs1di]

Those large LLCs who buy up houses wholesale to re-sell for 50k more should have to pay higher taxes and that extra tax money should go to subsidize down payments for first time home buyers. Why isn’t this a thing.

[@Fibonacci50]

Thank you, Sir. Bring on some calls to other RE agents. Pulls back the curtain, it does of the negotiation process.

[@Oscar_Von_Doom]

About time you made this video Javier. Great job, now you need to dive deeper into whats coming next to help people be prepared in 2026 to buy homes. I doubt rate cuts will happen this year.

[@Darththescammer]

I’m a handyman in SoCal and i get calls from out of state companies asking me to do flips where it doesn’t even cover my labor. In California you have to give the contractors name and business if you are flipping a house. They literally want me to install all Home Depot cabinets and countertop. And what these people are trying to pay to do these flips is a joke. They end up finding the cheapest person ( not even company) and most of the time they are just learning and never installed flooring, cabinets ect.

[@bjjbarbella]

9:03 the rental I’m in right now… it’s disgusting… no matter how much I clean and scrub the walls, grout and baseboards, there’s like this layer of dirt that won’t come off. The toilet constantly has this ring that develops even after bleach or scrubbing with a pumice stone… the roof has moss on it, the floor of the garage and driveway has huge cracks and fissures in it, it has horrible insulation and we have to have a dehumidifier on 24/7. The horrid yellow paint on the kitchen cabinets come off when I try to clean them. There’s no water line to use for our fridge. And it’s on Zillow estimated for $450k 🤣🤣🤣 I’m moving to a new build energy efficient home end of next month and I cannot wait to flee this dump. The landlord has quite a bit of work to put in after we leave.

[@justsomeguy711]

How do you find out if it’s LLC?

[@JL-kc2ny]

You check the tax records for that county and do a property address lookup. It lists current owner, how much they paid in taxes, etc.

[@pisodemarcia]

Thanks for sharing those childhood traumas belive me it helps! I noticed that when parents make good stuff look bad "construction" we grow up hating it.

[@bikenraider99]

Totally agree on the major items. Always keep a margin of error in an offer for something being found out in the 90 days after a purchase. Even then, it may not be enough to cover something or make the upgrade

[@christinab9133]

So helpful! Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@bunnyblue9311]

Unfortunately in the areas we want to be in. The LLCs and the flippers are super greedy. Any fixer upper house that’s on the market they will grab since they can pay cash for it. You have one of 4 options: 1. Buy the fixer upper at a super inflated price. (To beat out the competition) 2. Buy a dilapidated house that’s you will you will have to renovate before you can get even get in because it’s so unsafe to live there otherwise. 3. You buy a flipped home (which I tend to avoid) I just don’t know what they’re hiding or where they’re cutting costs. 4. Buy a new construction house at the top of the price range. So we decided to just bite the bullet and do a custom home with a builder that a lot of our professional friends have tried and recommend.

[@liamminerYT]

The challenge in a high-cost-of-living area, like the Seattle area, is that affordable houses often require AT LEAST 2 major repairs (water damage, mold, floor or wall damage, etc.). So if you want to stay near-ish to where you work, close to grocery stores, schools, resources, etc, you have to bite the bullet on houses in far less than ideal condition. Yes, moving an hour outside of town would help solve this, but it would be harder to find high-paying work. And even these fixer-uppers go quick!

[@chaselesser3191]

That 399k house. In my area. Would be worth about that same in 2022 peak as in 2024. So that house is $324 plus paint. So $325k-$350kMax.

[@jcon2wheels49]

Javier. I have learnt so much from you. You are the man 🫡💪💪💪💪. Bought my house back in 2022. Basically your videos walked me through step by step in my home buying experience. 💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏

[@gordonmatsumoto5001]

Javi, You really got into this one. Great stuff: I learned more about Javi, than houses! Great examples.

[@MrFalloutfreak99]

Great video! Informative and to the point

[@Love4puppies]

My kid's grandfather did the same to them when they were younger. Took them to work in the fields and help with paint and flooring:) Question- are you able to see the house pictures before the remodel because you have MLS access or can anyone see what a home looked like prior to the remodel when the seller purchased it? Thanks!

[@bernardnader]

Love your content Javier!

[@lukebobb]

Awesome video 👍

[@chaselesser3191]

If they are LLC. I’m gonna low ball them and tell them all the crap wrong with them.

[@luck9837]

Everyone needs to do this for it to actually have an impact, hopefully everyone follows

[@respobabs]

Real estate investing should be a capital offense

[@ScarlettNyxx]

Buying a house is a major investment, especially if you're buying it to live in. You have every right to be picky and nosey. You wouldn't buy a car with major issues that are going to cost time and money to fix. Why would you not hold the same standards for buying a house?

[@calvinone67]

any tips or advise on buyers considering a new construction single family homes?

[@azucarmorenita1]

Hi, where can you go to see the history and pictures of a home you're interested in buying?

[@fidelceja585]

“So yes”. Thanks 😎

[@bonnyd.5334]

In my neighborhood, it's super important to talk to the neighbors. There's a row of townhouses that were framed and then left open to the elements for TWO winters... and yes, we did get a nasty storm. There is another row of townhouses whose basements flood every spring. The neighbors know that those basements can't be used for storage. There was a street with pretty houses for sale on it, near a park... that was gang-infested. Yes, the neighbors got the city to paint over the tags. It took a combination of the police and the neighbors who were up in arms about the gang to do something about it. The neighbors bordering the park had to put up bright lights, pointing at the quiet area the gang used to meet and do drugs. We all did a lot of porch sitting. During October, we organized a Pumpkin Patrol, for the gang thought it was fun to smash decorations. Eventually the cops got them, but it took nearly a year. There was a house for sale that sat on the market for over a year because the owner wanted too much given the fact this neighborhood had a street gang problem.

[@ReynaDPerez]

Can you ask if there were any killing or deaths in the house? Or if haunted

[@futurepig]

You forgot houses built on top of an ancient graveyard

[@yoyoyohihihidude]

Jav you should do your own repairs because it’s for you and you will feel achievement from it and save money

Nothing wrong with buying a retired rental if the price is competitive. =D

Dude ...if your that picky on things..you might as well stick to Renting..

[@liamminerYT]

It is hard, right? You want to be a discerning home buyer, but in some places you have very little choice about the homes that are within you budget and are available.

[@MasonHarrison-j2q]

[@Pinnfeathers]

My husband and I bought an abandoned 1950s house with great bones at a great price so we basically ignored a lot of this advice. We’re slowly renovating it room by room as time and resources will allow and haven’t find anything better on the market than would compel us to move, even after years of house hunting. Sometimes you just KNOW. ✨🏡✨💗❣️😅😆
