I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this..

[@eadad4371]

Glad I came across this comment section. I was struggling to decide what to do with a good amount of money in the bank doing nothing. I would be happy if you could advise me, as I am ready to go the passive income path.

[@skoopqueen.]

@@eadad4371 Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.

Hi Elisa, can you please tell where you bought the chevron backsplash tile for kitchen?? Really appreciate!! That is exactly what I am looking for and not finding it!

[@thekirksiffs5285]

It is lovely, but I share the same concerns regarding a barn door on a bathroom. It may look stylish, but the privacy is lacking. We have stayed in a hotel with one on the bathroom door, and did npt like it. Plus, it is noisy sliding it, and was a problem if someone needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night without waking the other person. If I were going to live in this house, I'd have to change that to a regular door, preferably solid core You can get narrow double doors that would fit that opening, so they don't take up much floor space when opened up. PS: I love your Channel!

I don't use the door to my bathrooms, maybe it's that I'm half European?

It's unique & adds charm, looks modern and those of us who work hard in life don't care about such a nonsensical detail!!!! Do not allow the low rent trolls criticize your door with their noses stuck up in the air!!!! They're trendy trolls who could never afford these houses and that's the truth!!!! I love the fact that you did the sliding door and don't discount those of us whom are of higher market and easy going, we know what matters and we like this in you!! 🌹

Nice updates. The sunroom looks great. Not a fan of the barn door unless it used for nonfunctional doors like partitions and library etc. wish the backyard storage stayed. Nowadays it costs almost 5-6k for that size storage.

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

Storage is needed for equipment for lawn, yard, trees, shrubbery, flower beds, etc.

[@terrirojas2162]

I am not a fan of barn doors anywhere in a home, but especially not for a bathroom for the reason you said - it’s easy for privacy and odors to escape. But we live and learn for your next flip, opt for a pocket door. Edit: or a regular door 😜

I don’t care for barn doors because they take up space where a dresser could go.

[@melissahouse3488]

Why couldn't you just slide it behind a piece of furniture?? Leave a couple itches and it can conceal behind something. Not sure why you must designate a whole chunk of wall space for a door that only needs to be slid every now & then, just keep the door closed when you aren't actually going in/out.

[@margotk538]

Good cosmetic flip. I like that with small updates the home feels fresh and modern! The sunroom remodel does add great square footage to the small house. I think the barn door looks really odd. Having a regular door from home depot with a lock is what most homebuyers would be okay with and it saves you so much money…

I think as a home buyer I would have preferred a regular master bath door. The barn door is stylist but I prefer the privacy of a regular door personally.

[@paloaltogeek]

can you provide more details on your numbers; purchase price $1M, rennovation cost $80K, sold for $1.4M. Assuming 5% commission for selling is $70K, costs are around $1.15M, so when you say your profit is $160K instead of $250K I'm wondering what the other costs are. Thanks

[@qudizzle1]

transfer fees? Gotta pay deeds office and conveyancing attorney fees my man

Great Job! Would love to see more day-day interactions and decisions with your contractors! Seems like a crucial part of your process and curios to see how you handle it. Keep up the good work Elissa! 👍

[@gregoryclark7566]

This flip really works and was very cost effective. From refinishing the hardwood floors, to retaining the white cabinets in the kitchen, and by painting the interior the attractive creme color which made contrasting colors pop. I also love the 99c tile in the bathroom. A slight caveat is the barn door in the master which is somewhat incongruous. But overall, the entire renovation is not only tasteful but very desireable to a wide variety of buyers. Nice job!

[@happydays1336]

California real estate is so expensive. This house--after remodeling--would go for somewhere around $350K where I live. It must be very nerve wracking to have to take out million dollar construction loans especially in today's slowing down housing market.

[@Johnpassing1989]

I think it would be also helpful on how you also got the house. Cold call? Direct mail? MLS?

Is that sell with furnitures?

[@Cloudburst2000]

No, she just has the home staged so potential buyers can envision it with furniture. Common tactic by realtors to stage homes with rented furniture.

[@melissahouse3488]

Maybe she would include it. I have the impression she's flexible and a wheeler dealer 😉 I believe she'd be willing to work something out, if the buyer requested. Maybe, because she seems very smart at doing business and that means working with people and being willing to accommodate. She offers quite a bit of fair ideas according to how she operates. I wouldn't be surprised if she was willing to work out a deal to include the furniture and it's a small price to pay for some of her sales. In fact, I bet she has sold at least one house including the staged set up. When I was searching anything would go, anything is negotiable as far as I'm concerned and if you have a motivated seller, it'll go for them too.

[@kaiseranonymous]

If the barn door matched the bedroom door stylistically and color it would be okay, but the style doesn't match the other door and the color clashes with the flooring so it's definitely a no-go.

[@stephaniejimenez168]

I wouldnt mind a barn door for an onsuite bathroom. If you really want privacy, like if you have guests in the house, then you could lock the bedroom door. We have a barn door for our laundry room which is just off the kitchen, and I love it

[@Debra309]

@@albundy3929 We added a door to our master bath exactly like the one in this video. It’s stylish, very private, no problem with sounds or smells and we love that it allows additional light into the bathroom. Not only that, no swing door is taking up unnecessary wall space so we were able to incorporate a much needed shelving unit to house extra towels and decorative baskets that hides toilet paper and essentials. Guess it’s safe to say; “You either love them or hate them.”

[@coraliemouillesseaux792]

Love the transformation. And love the barn door

[@KiwiSkarlett]

I personally like barn doors for the exact reason you used it. Small bathrooms are great with barn doors so you can actually use the entire room rather than a fraction. That being said, a solid barn door without clear panels is better and barn door locks exist, so privacy wouldn't be an issue.

[@Cloudburst2000]

IMO, pocket doors are better then barn doors if you don’t want a swinging door. With barn doors you loose the extra wall space where the door slides. Whereas with a pocket door, the door slides into the wall so no space lost.

[@rickypego1]

So beuatiful renovation! Barn doors are not for me hehe.

Barn doors are dated. They were popular a few years ago but I think people realize that they don’t look good and don’t muffle sound as well as regular doors. Plus this barn is a rustic gray which doesn’t work well with your floors. On the same note about dated ideas, those printed bathroom tiles scream “flip” bc they look cheap and are a pretty specific design. I think a simpler, solid colored tile is better.

[@melissahouse3488]

Speaking as a native California girl, I LOVE barn doors and think it's beautiful!!!!

Do not let them deter you from doing innovative, unique idea's that suit you because coming from someone who is a House quite literally, they wouldn't know a door if it hit them in the ass!!!! This audience is quite an obnoxious piece of work with the insults over a door. The house is great "except", when they could never dream of owning such a place or they wouldn't have the lousy attitudes trust me.
