What happened to my old house in Dallas?

[@CarWizard]

Come on people…. This house is friggin awesome. How has it not sold yet? Stop being fraidy cats and plunk down the $350k!! It would be a no-brainer for me if Id not already bought a house. Easy to remodel to suit. This is a hell of a deal!!

[@RV_Chef_Life]

I would definitely get rid of the security bars.

[@murray1759]

My mom is a retired realtor. Her advice would be to get rid of all the black. Leave wood in the kitchen. PAINT EVERYTHING WHITE. My mom was a good realtor .... Every house she sold she had them paint everything white. No colours unless it were beiges. She would say paint all the walls, trims etc white. Switch the curtains to white. Her houses sold usually before the listing went up. New buyers like white everything. My mom said all the other agents gave the same advice. I hope this helps.

[@ricoolivier]

Can you imagine what those walls have seen? Paaaaartie central... That is such a "Bob" house. No half measures there! Fantastic!

[@Tyler_Wenya]

Hey Bob! I’m in dallas and live here I know exactly where your house is at. Born and raised here my whole life! It’s great seeing a KZbinr locally! No matter what your home is great Bob! Home is how you make it out to be!

[@jrussellcase]

We were watching this....we'd also watched the previous video about the house you'd made many moons ago. Me: "Why hasn't this house sold?? It's awesome!!" Wife: "he painted it up like a pimp daddy's house!!" 😂😂😂 I love ya, Bob. You're my hero. We're close in age, and your story is an inspiration for me. If I wanted to stay in this area (I live in Balch Springs), I'd have bought that house already. It kicks butt. Hang in there...you'll get a good price for it, brother. It's a great place.

[@theroosters2525]

This house is so random. When you went upstairs I found myself in shock at every room 😂 that hot tub room was wild..

[@remoil983]

This place is huge, with some cosmetic updates this place is layed out so cool!!!

[@brucesumter4327]

wow so cool house i like 2 story we used have old 2 story if i rember dad mom said house was built back i think before 1900 we movie in there i was5 years old 1961 too 2003 they down side small house i like all those color types your house ty for video you your wife well rest your family happy new year 2023

[@feulman65]

When I went to your parties, your "Dungeon Den" was so neat and cool, I had to take pictures because nobody would believe me. It was like Heavy Metal meets strip club, it was awesome, thanks for the fun times and great memories.

[@paulk1]

That's a pretty nice house Bob, and I could definitely see having a band room there too. Hopefully once all the remodeling is done, you will find a buyer relatively soon afterwards. Rock On!

[@RobCarstuff9112]

I love the smell of new carpet in the morning (:

[@lemonjellies4985]

Great spaces but it really needs a deep remodelling to make it a nice house with wide appeal and thus many offers. Otherwise, I wouldn't spend much more on it and sell fast for the best price you can get.

[@TheNova64000]

My family sold a house during the pandemic. The agent advised us to paint the entire inside of the house white and to ditch the wine colored carpeting since there was decent hardwood floors under the carpeting. Basically make the inside of the house feel natural and fresh without getting crazy making improvements. Let the next person make major improvements to the house.

[@EinkOLED]

A house like that in the UK would be at least 1.5 million. The average house size in the UK is at least 1/5th the size of your old home. Definitely living the American dream.

[@DevouredByADream]

Lot more space in Texas than the UK. Less space = more money for space.

[@trainman665]

@@DevouredByADream It’s more to do with the supply of housing. Houses in the USA are cheaper and easier to build and there’s more spaces ready to build them.

[@DevouredByADream]

@trainman665 Pricing of a buildout varies wildly in the States depending on materials, contractors, etc. Generally speaking, if you look at places in the world with average-to-high GDP but massive populations (and limited space); the cost is exponentially more to have a larger chunk of that available space. Texas is a massive place. Even during economic downturns or times when the housing market flip flops; you're still looking at a much more forgiving delta to space/value/price in Texas than in other states in the US.

[@trainman665]

@@DevouredByADream Of course. My point was nowhere in the UK would you be able to get this sort of value. In my part of the UK, you would be looking at around $2m to achieve something equivalent.

That house is definitely very interesting. I wish I had the cash. I'm here in Dallas. Cheers Bob.

Agreeable Gray 🤣 I've used that color several times!

Happy new year BOB

[@DevouredByADream]

Is there coaxial cable from the demarc (electric meter) to the living room or attic? I noticed there was some coax on the right side of the home. Spectrum would be the preference. Is there any CAT5 or 6 wired throughout? Looks like attic access in the ceiling of master bedroom.

[@1SeanBond]

Bob Luv&Peace to you and your amazing wife! Cheers to continued success friend in 2023! 🍾🥂

[@johntyson]

100% take the bars off the windows and the cage away from the front door. Nobody with the money to buy your house wants a house with bars on the windows.

[@KISSFanBD]

That’s what I thought. It gives off bad neighborhood vibes.

[@remoil983]

Some people wouldn't live in a house without them.

[@johntyson]

@@remoil983 true, but you’re limiting your potential customers. Having to have bars on your windows is not a good thing and turns away more people than it attracts.

[@Trilltexas214]

The house is in Oak Cliff ....Oak Cliff is in the hood there are some nice house in the cliff but you are still in the hood....That's why the house has bars

[@johntyson]

@@Trilltexas214 dude, I live by Kiest park. Plenty of houses without bars and cages.

[@Brooklyn_Powers]

Great house, Bob!

[@dicebiz9913]

Love your videos

[@charlestonpinballarcade]

I remember the original walkthrough you did on the property. This is an awesome unique property for people that might have a home based business or some type of collector that needs multiple spaces to keep their items of various size. I would have jumped at this property if it was in the Charleston area. Most people cannot turn a screwdriver and don’t see the opportunity, they only see a quartz countertop and fake shiplap walls and say “take my money that I don’t have”….

[@mrj-charles6383]

I always like Bob he is just a regular guy. I also have a house I let sit and it costs me about $300 a month with everything including taxes. Worth it for me even though I could rent it.

[@ryanjosef]

Thats a Hell of a house for the price, kinda cool too. Prices where I live in NH have been insane for a while, it is interesting to see how things differ from area to area .

[@TheTarrMan]

Wow, I thought I had a big house. I just paid $55,000 for my house in Peoria, IL. It's only 1300 square feet but I have it all to myself.

[@briantruck2284]

That's cheap south Texas starting price 130k

[@trainman665]

Wish I could afford somewhere like this in the UK. Unfortunately our houses are several times more expensive.

[@waylonp6924]

what a amazing house

[@tj5build]

IMHO I would not paint the kitchen cabinets black since the counter is so dark. I would leave or go white. I would also remove the bars. People get weirded out when they see them. You made a good point, no other house has them. So I would pull them off to improve your curb appeal.

[@weirdmatter]

Happy new years Video Bob! 📹

[@whammond511]

Great House!! If I was in Houston or thinking about moving there I’d be interested. But I won’t live in a Death Penalty State. So sorry to hear about your Mom. I lost a good friend as well to Covid.

[@zachary_attackery]

I bought my first house 2 years ago and your old house inspired me to paint every room a different color. I have a purple room, a blue room, a yellow room, a lime green room, and a teal room. I'm with you, I hate boring tan and grey houses

[@davidknighttv6752]

Did you sell it??

[@katiel.6782]

Wild seeing it all empty!!

[@wheel-lee]

thinking about moving from UK to Dallas now !!!

[@notuptome]

You should reduce the home theater. Dream media home theater I watch on KZbin I think they're located in there in Dallas I am not for certain but you should reach out to them and get that home theater like hyann and then add that to the price having a dedicated home theater I think it would be any family stream high end 8K home theater system The works you know. You should check out their KZbin channel and watch some of the stuff they do it's pretty awesome

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

If you had a bunch of pinball machines then you probably met my brother. For a long time he was one of the best pinball techs in the city.

[@Viperman200221]

Wow... The new owner could add a full kitchen upstairs and make the bottom half another full house and rent it out!

[@dukeluke9219]

That place would change my life! All that work and I'd still put it back to the way bob had it! 😂🔥

[@Uneducatedcapitalist]

This house needs minimum $85k of rehab and thats on the cheap end. Problem is that the comps dont work in the area. It needs pressure washing. a house wash. i mean. it needs to be gutted. Issue is that the comps in the area wont get you a dime over $450k in a good economy. should have taken the other guys offer.

[@hiddengem9742]

Auction it off and have Barrett Jackson sell it 🤣

[@cokesonic4123]

the house is worth way more than 350k

[@canadaguy1234]

I liked the before better. The step back in time wall paper the layout is strange but it only makes it interesting. Some of the colors weren't for me but hey thats what paint is for. A lot of people are stupid and can't see beyond what's in front of them. The dumb thing is now they're paying more for the new carpet and bland colors and they'll probably change it again before they move in. The Las Vegas place is great. I'd love all those out buildings and yeah it needs a gate!

[@justinhobart8747]

Would to just leave the cabinet in the kitchen alone, They don't look too bad and if somebody wants to paint them they can, and if they don't they don't, I know you might find it hard to believe but somebody might not like black... I would definitely refinish the bathrooms as they look dated... Along with the outside of the house, as it's the 1st thing you see, an odd looking old tree, obviously had the top cut off, bars on the windows, dated overgrown evergreen bushes, some simple landscaping and clean up of the yard would especially in back yard would go far...I think the brick work needs to be cleaned/blasted, just not sure if it's worth it... The upstairs well it's like something totally different from the downstairs, I don't know what to tell you, either love it or you hate it right, I'm sure somebody will want to do something with it but who knows what... Nice house, sounds like you're charging in a reasonable price, I would think, as not too familiar with the Dallas market.

This would make a great frat house to party in👍🏻. By any chance is there a college near by ?

I like this house. If i had it i would paint the outside brick. I used to work in these fields. My friend painted his 3 story house....it looks amazing. I like neutral colours....lots of shiny wood. Chandeliers. Fancy floor rugs. I really like that balcony. I like expensive fake trees in a house. Even palm trees. They look real....no watering. I would leave the steel bars....crime is crime. There's always crime. Sadly i'm a little far away....i live near niagara Falls Canada. I could have a lot of fun decorating this house. Btw...my bestfriend was a ceo with maple Lodge meats....his mansion was all shades of greys and whites. He had shiny tile floors.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

With the colors you kinda need to do like colors that are unique that wont bother people after awhile, as you like the shock colors, people like the I dont notice it but it looks nice colors, like what people find confortable, and with the weather outside and how grey it is, you really wanna go for the warm, not cold, like you have like your upstairs where the cool rooms are looks awesome, downstairs looks like a generic apartment house, which is probably why some of your possible buyers have said why dont I turn this into a condominium and your outside colors are awful, it looks like a generic old peoples home, like look at like Valspar filtered shade and things of that nature, and match it to the carpets for the inside and look into brightening up the outside also the windows, like it looks like claustrophobia central there, as people need three things, light space and natural beauty, you've got space but you dont have light or beauty. as you want people to go in and be comfortable and enjoy what their looking at, and it just looks like a generic old peoples home
