Nice job

[@seancosta2073]

Did this house honestly sell for 2m??

[@CoopyKat]

THIS is why housing is so expensive right now in America - greedy pigs buying and reselling real estate like this. The real losers will be future generations, that end up paying 100+ times more than what houses are actually worth. They are just a bunch of wood and drywall......with a little plumbing.

[@user-bd4qy5lq2h]

Thank you Mike b Lakeland fl 😅

[@zylnx4422]

I love how you don't make the house ruined with all grey floors, furniture, etc. These days I tend to see renovators making everything colorless and depressing but you actually add color and livelyness to the home. That makes you stand out!

[@ginam2817]

That sounds like every living space in Texas.. Every space that I’ve seen and lived in has textured gray walls and floors…

[@kristinanoall]

I can’t believe that small, ugly house was $1.5M!! 🤯 Prices are absolutely out of control. You did a fantastic job on it-it looks beautiful!

[@vonnie9068]

Nah remember it’s California😭 They charge $20 for a burger💀💀

[@Stressless2023]

@@vonnie9068 Exactly - California is basically it's own secluded part of the world when it comes to home prices, definitely not indicative of virtually every other state in the U.S. This would have been a $200k starter home where I live in this exact condition.

[@vanyajelezarova7374]

Two million dollars? Where I live that would buy you a giant lake house! That's insane.

[@Zylerzboarder]

I appreciate you including bloopers. It makes you feel more personable. Love the flip. The house went from a place I cant imagine someone living, to a place I'd be happy to live! 10/10

[@MR_Mocha_Major]

The transformation was great but I can’t believe this house was purchased by the Reno team for $1.5M!!! Wow!

[@elizabeth2416]

The only thing I didn't like was the lack of a handheld shower head with hose in the master bathroom. Those big shower heads are great, but if you don't want to wash your hair, or need to get to your bits it isn't practical. Installing a new one would mean taking that tile off, so the buyer has to live with that oversight until they renovate the bathroom.

[@lowbird7947]

That's not true. Either unscrew the showerhead or unscrew the shower arm. No need to touch the tile.

[@davidpollard3522]

No need to touch the tile. JUST YOUR “BITS” 🤪🤪🤪

[@kavithab.sathya4694]

Beautiful remodelling loved most of it , personally I would have preferred a small but functional master bath & larger closet ( could have been even a walk in if bathroom door was oriented differently ) how long would we spend time in bathroom at the max but with larger closet new owners need not buy more storage pieces & could have spacious bedroom .

[@sandraaj]

Simply amazing. I'm obsessed with watching house flips and your flips are always one of my favorites! The attention to detail, the design, the functionality ... everything is top notch 👌

[@tcroses]

Not sure how many years I've been watching but you have impeccable taste. Always sharp.

[@janetr5929]

What a charming little house. I love the bright, airy colors you chose and the beautiful wood floors. I love how you took this house from neglected and just plain ugly and turned it into a charming home that has character and beauty. Lovely job as always.

[@nellifedorova3054]

You did a great job as always. Sure, renovating this place took a lot of money and effort, but now it's not only clean, neat and livable, but beautiful and stylish.

[@user-ep9lh8fl7q]

Yes! Gray is out and so are all white kitchens.

[@AlexAlex-gj4jd]

I don't understand how buying at a 1.5, selling at 2.0 and 200K only give you 100K profit?? Anyone else think the same thing? BTW, I love the reasoning behind your design choices and honesty about pricing! Thanks!

[@whiteserpent6753]

200k in renovation costs, some amount of carrying cost on the house while the renovations are going on, something in listing and closing costs, taxes, etc. possible she also has an investor throwing money into this who gets a share of the profit as well.

[@yenbanh8273]

I would guess that 100k in profit after all taxes !

[@donaldlee6760]

1) All cash buyers don't pay in cash, they use a hard money loan with correspondingly higher interest rate, so figure 2 to 4 months of this high interest payment 2) The SF Bay area has transfer fees when buying/selling a home 3) Their is a typically 6% realter fee that is often split 3% to the buyer's agent and 3% to the seller's agent. 4) Home insurance for the 2 to 4 months for an unoccupied home is incredibly expensive, call your current home insurance agent for an "unoccupied" home insurance quote. 5) The investor pays roughly $1500 / month in property tax. If it the home sells 90 days after purchase + an extra 30 days to close, then 4 months * $1500 = $4500.

[@lowbird7947]

Also staging the home costs money. Not a lot but it's another cost.

[@Anonyme67]

I swear this is the first Realestate investor who is telling the truth. I am almost done with my fourth property and although not as expensive the cost proportion is almost the same. and the reason why I will rent it is because my profit won’t be as big as I want. The rent needs to pay all credits card before I consider selling (but won’t sell though). Thanks so much for not lying.

[@janet8832]

I love the fireplace!!!

[@jillmarshall4718]

When it comes to Flipping Houses, You are truly very at the Top of your Game. Always Magnificent Awesome Home, Have a Great July 4, See you at the next Video 📸👍 😎🏡😍🥰

[@AAA-xc4zm]

Finally after a long time. Glad to see you back in action

[@homednbinc7353]

Great job!! I appreciate you explaining each step along the way!

[@peggybuetow1026]

No more grey!

[@heidifritz3053]

The renovation is gorgeous! I loved the warm wood floors, the light cabinets, and the beautiful accent tile in the kitchen and bath. I love that you addressed the structural issues, too (roof, concrete, etc.). It was extremely surprising to see how large the backyard is! I hope the buyer will spend years enjoying your hard work and not tear it down to build a McMansion on the lot.

[@brittanyb5942]

The backyard is NICE 😍

[@ibnadel]

Thanks for the great video. Please consider adding a timeline to to the summary at the end.

[@benp3485]

Finally, new episode! Small houses are the best, low carbon footprint good for the planet. And the work here is just amazing, great taste and touch. Congratulations!

Very beautiful renovation and beautiful Elisa! Thank you for the video!

[@estelsaradop492]

As always - an amazing job❣️ you've turned something unsightly and dysfunctional into a very attractive purchase!

[@mimil6060]

This house looks amazing! Love the outside landscaping, house color, handrails and driveway as well as the garage door. I was wondering what was going to be done with the fireplace. Wow!! It looks so good. The kitchen design makes it look roomier. Great work triangle. The bedrooms are very nice! The backyard is park-like. Always look forward to your videos.

[@rorik.3842]

very nice clean update

this is such a great flip! truly one of my fav's

Gorgeous house. $2,000,000 sounds like a huge amount of money for a 3 bed!

Typical Bay Area greed

[@BSGSV]

"So sad you removed that beautiful vintage carpet"......said no one ever.

[@pretty95138]

very pretty house...do you remember the interior wall color? which city is the house in and how much sq feet?

[@monicaarriagada1157]

Bellisima casa !!

[@np7360]

Very glad you did the important stuff like windows and the floors are amazing. just a bit sad you removed several charming things like the railing

[@alexseminario190]

Hi Elisa What neutral color do you use for the bedrooms? It looks amazing!

[@VashtiPerry]

It’s beautiful ❤

[@hunterwright4388]

That yard is crazy big! With that much property in the Bay Area I wonder how the cash on cash return might have turned out as an STR with an ADU in the back generating multiple streams of cash flow…

[@OksanaEm]

Так классно стало!!!!! Вы талант!!!

[@hunterwright4388]

Where are you sourcing your doors - specifically those single panel sliding closet doors?

[@pamelajohnson9810]

Nice 🏡 house it's so cute

[@dncprncss]

@transform real estate, what was the name of the free remodel design software that you mentioned in a video?

[@slyali7395]

What color is that on exterior? & where can you get those hand rails in the entry ?

[@Pearcryt]

Hi! You did a great job! Can you tell me how tall your baseboards are? Thank you

[@pinappletoast3726]

nice

[@RomanticPopPunk]

What market is this? I can’t believe it was 1.5m before remodeling

[@deniseroe5891]

Did I miss the washer/dryer connection? Very nice, everything you did needed to be done.

[@MadokaLeopoldo]

Todo está hermoso, excepto el tubo de la regadera del baño de invitados, cuando el tubo es pequeño el cabezal no debe ser de ese tipo.

[@leenakarmarkar7819]

The renovation looks great! However, I strongly believe that a larger closet in the Master bedroom is a necessity. When the closet space in your home is the same as that of an apartment, it can be quite disheartening.

[@thekirksiffs5285]

You really made a beautiful space there. Just curious, what is the Sq Footage of the home? Is there a cellar or basement area? Thank you.

[@jayc4715]

Nice ..whats the exterior paint color??

[@FrankSmith-jw8vl]

Thanks to TRANQUIL Tents, I was able to spruce up my home and garden without breaking the bank. They offer real value for money!

[@harshavarun8377]

Nicely done. I have been following you for a while now and I should say you're amazing and you make such good videos with all the details. I have been trying to get in touch with someone on your team to discuss about a project which I would love to work with your team. Can someone tell me how should I he contacting ? Thanks!

[@702Chap]

What whites are the walls and moulding?

[@tb11212]

Out of curiosity, I know you said front of the house coat closets aren’t common in the bay area. But what about toilet paper holders? I don’t think I saw any on the bathroom walls unless I missed it.

[@cindymcgrath5698]

We don’t have toilet roller holders on the wall. We have free standing ones. The old ones were below the towel racks! 😀

[@sarahh8990]

I am TeamClosetSpace over TeamLargeBathroom but still a great transformation!

[@racequad9]

Did anyone else's jaw drop when she said she purchased the house for $1.5M?!?

[@Stressless2023]

Compared to what Tarek and Christina used to buy these shacks for 10 years ago the prices in California are definitely insane now - I'd never move there even if I could afford it lol.

[@racequad9]

@@Stressless2023 Agreed. I can't imagine having to be a millionaire to buy house only a little bigger than the size of my shed in my backyard. California really is a different world

[@racequad9]

@@Stressless2023 out of curiosity, what would this house have gone for 10 yrs ago?

[@Stressless2023]

@@racequad9 Frankly they were still expensive considering the condition many of them were in on the HGTV show "Fix or Flop" with Tarek and Christina as property investors - But if you look at old episodes of their show they used to pick up modest little rehab homes like this in California for under $500k regularly, and their 7 figure rehab properties were usually fairly extravagant and even a couple with ocean views that I remember - Now it seems $2M in California gets you this unimpressive little box which looks like a starter home.

[@timothyyhtomit]

She's in the South Bay area, which is mostly San Jose and surrounding communities like Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Mountain View. I don't think she does anywhere near San Francisco or Oakland. I think 95% of her flips are in San Jose.

[@Poshocho]

is the book coming in Spanish version ?

[@RichardDeHaven]

Beautiful house. Great details and enjoy your videos. Very informative. But please don't sound so disappointed that the house sold only for 2 million and only made 100K plus despite your original assessment. That is more income than the average family makes in a year. You still made quite a bit of money. Celebrate it as another successful flip.

[@sarahh8990]

But I don't think that is her personal take away sum. Most of it probably stays within the company as resources for the next flip, paying her employees, taxes etc. She only takes a small portion of that as her own salary.

[@RichardDeHaven]

@@sarahh8990 from what I understand she relies on hard loans to buy her homes. but I could be wrong. The cost of the remodel includes all what you mentioned maybe except income tax on the profit. It was a successful flip. Perhaps not as much but still worth the job at a 100k plus.

[@Stressless2023]

In California $100k barely buys you a parking spot for your used Tesla.

[@maryarmstrong7511]

❤️❤️

[@marianromano3660]

Eliminating the second closet from the master bedroom was not a good decision.

[@easye.2236]

Flipping a house for close to 300k in profit is incredibly good.

[@Chibi_haku_]

If the market comes down, you can transform to home renovations. I would love to be first in line! Do you share which companies you work with?

[@Widdyfollowsaunicorn]

It’s the fact that the before was 1.5M. Who in their right mind would even think of purchasing that garbage?
