Kevin, Truly love your videos and the knowledge I gain from your investment course. I even showed my wife your videos and she agreed it was a good investment. I think these type of videos show even more your truly are a down to earth person. God the property though way to many yea butts and too many potential surprises that could make 35k look like a dream fix. Best of luck, Aaron

Looks you were born in the 90s or 2000s or never repaired or gutted a house? Cast iron and galvanized iron were common unless someone requested copper lines. I haven’t done any plumbing work in 12 years, but back then the newer plumbing started to replace galvanized iron water pipes. Cast iron and galvanized corrode and have yucky stuff in them. Copper has some residue but not like cast iron or galvanized iron. To be honest, I started from the meter and changed out the main waterline, and all the galvanized pipes. I wasn’t getting cancer from a 50 year old house nor blown up. Some idiot installed copper lines instead of approved gas lines. Just by luck, I had to get into the crawl space to investigate a leak and to my surprise, I found copper lines running to each gas line to the four gas heaters in my house. That was a project that I’ll never forget. Since I could do the work after learning from my grandfather how to do it and he was able to do the work as well, the only cost to me was the materials and time fighting spiders, rodents, and other strange insects, and one skunk. I got sprayed by a skunk. Good stories to be told but sadly my grandfather died. He could tell you even more stories about clay pipes and septic tanks and all sorts of plumbing nightmares.

@@wev2344 Even being born in the 90s or 2000s is a terrible excuse! I was born in 92, but the house we bought last year is a 1919. Sure, the pipes *in* the house are all copper, but the main outfeed to the street? Definitely cast iron. It's incredibly common, especially in older homes. Plenty of people think they'll save money by buying those new homes with only copper or pex--that's a joke if I've ever heard one. Construction quality has gone down astronomically in the last hundred years.

Honest feedback: First off huge fan, I've watched virtually every video since Nov. of 2017 (the "On Graham Stephan..." video), all your videos on your KZbin channel profile have a solid red line underneath the thumbnails from one side to the other. I am also a member of the investing course, so thank you for that as well. Love this new style of video and also the fact that you purposely try to give us/viewers new styles of videos when needed, switching it up is refreshing. Some styles I like better than others but still get a ton of value as a student/investor in real estate. Capturing the dirty work as well as the dialogue between subcontractor and the owner is a gem. Lastly, keep those easter eggs in your vids when needed, they always get me. Best, JD

I have no particular need to know the things you share in this video, but I'm glad I do. Your videos are engaging partly because you tell us about the larger picture. For example, the economics of an AirBNB's neighborhood, mentioning that all your financial dealings are recorded at the courthouse, etc. I'm sure most people smile as I do at your family footage. Things have gone south for much of the country and it is cheering to see your boys being so well-raised.

Loved the video! I especially like seeing the examples of actual problems you encounter as well as seeing the engagements with the people you hire to fix the problems. The footage of going to city hall and explaining all of the different offices needed to get permits was informative as well. Drone footage is always awesome to get a better idea of lot size and location as you described it. I'm not too crazy about the videos shot in your studio but either way the information put out in those videos is good to hear. The previous video with the property management company was awesome because it was outside, the gentlemen was very informative and there were properties in the background that made watching the video more interesting. Being able to see the work being done in this video of the plumbing helped to give the viewers a better idea of the magnitude of problems that can turn out to be a nightmare. The program you use for seeing the layout of the home really helps us to get a good picture of the layout/design, colors, flooring, etc of the house you are describing. Very cool software! Dan

Cut straight into it. Your videos among others helped me and pushed me into buying my first property. Just completed the purchase last week and already half way through renovations with a serious ROI. But the last few weeks your videos of you bitching and complaining/picking fights with everyone else were not you, authentic, or real. Seemed completely fake, egotistical and attention seeking. This kind of content is why I subbed. I actually thought if this is another one of those videos I'm unsubscribing. But this is right were you should be. Real information, real experiences, real interactions. This is much more appealing and educational.

@@Carlos--Claveran Pro-tip: try to buy newer houses that DONT have cast iron drains or galvanized water supplies! Most of those houses are 40+ years old or older. Those iron pipes are usually done for by 50-60 years, its not a matter of if but when they'll start leaking and have to be replaced. Cast iron is brittle and movement and settling of the house will crack it. Moist soil will also corrode the underground lines. I replumbed my house, the 64 year old cast iron was shot in multiple places from the big family that owned it previously. Being vacant for a year was the least of its worries. Budget for new drains and a re-pipe when it comes to houses over 50 years old, it'll need it soon enough.

“That’s because the cast iron swells as soon as it dries out ...” Never heard such nonsense. If anything, materials would shrink when drying out. Possibly, the cast iron might accumulate more rust while not in use and this, along with other dried out solids, might swell when wet again. Much more likely, though, is that the surrounding ground, especially if clay, will swell and shrink depending on whether it’s wet or dry, respectively. The result is that cast iron embedded in ground that is swelling and shrinking is likely to crack. Cast iron is hard and brittle with low tensile strength, meaning it will fracture before it bends or distorts ... which is what it would have to do if the surrounding ground is distorting. So, much more likely: leaking / disconnected pipes / connections lead to wet slab and ground, which swell and then shrink when not in use and therefore dry. Swell, shrink, swell, shrink ... -> cracked pipes.

Old cast iron pipes are usually embedded in the soil with cement to prevent this. Dig up an old pipe and its sure to have cement all over it.

I imagine that is what he was getting at. As the pipe dries out, and begins to rust from clay soil consistently moving and aerating the pipes, it will expand from rust forming. That's all I could think of, other than that I couldn't find anything on google about it other than rusting.

By the sound of how stupid you all sound, I can tell you all have never worked a tool in your lives... The guy was absolutely right. I've dug out more than my share of swollen rusted cast iron pipe from straight up dirt and cement. The oxygen in the air makes the iron rust so it forms layers of rust like a Pillsbury Grands lawyered biscuit, as soon as there is no water in the system, and is not being used on a daily basis. When it is being used the water stops the air from getting up on the surface of the pipe on the inside, it becomes a barrier between the air and the pipe. Just like a p-trap under the sink. Or like when a human lung gets pneumonia... It gets phlegm stuck on the inside walls of the lung like spackle or paste... When the air is breathed in, the oxygen and carbon-dioxide exchange does not happen because the phlegm is in the way. When the air is on the surface of the pipe without continuously being interrupted, the oxidation of the iron pipes is expedited.

@@maegankafka4540 Easy there captain fix-it. The original commenter and I both said he was probably referring to rust due to "oxigen" (which goes to show you have never picked up a dictionary before) exposure from lack of use and shifting sediment. The guy in the video said the pipes would swell, but did not say because of rust. While rust does most certainly cause it to swell in size, the way it came off in the video made it sounded like the cast iron pipe itself expands in and of itself without rust. Typically when rust forms it flakes off or is at the very least not much noticed due to small size (such as in a nail), so expansion of an object due to rust forming is not really noticed to people walking around. Cast Iron does not swell if left alone, rust forming on the cast iron causes it to swell. Cast Iron and Rust are two different things, so differentiating between the two is important, which the plumber did not say in the video (Which is fine really, I don't really care, seems like a nice enough dude). To say "Cast iron swells" is not entirely wrong either, heat causes materials to expand, but to cause the catastrophic failure that happened here, would have been a result of rust forming, not the cast iron swelling all by itself . I will admit I am not a plumber, rather a painter by trade. Simply clearing it up would have sufficed well enough, the insults were not needed at least on behalf of my comment speculating on what the plumber meant by the cast iron expanding.
