The Shocking Costs of Private Jets | How Much it Costs to Fly on a Private Jet.

[@brandinghoward]

Great video, honestly after getting to shadow for the day and seeing the quality of the jet as well as what it is enabling you to build in your team, the cost mentioned here seem like an absolute deal. Very few will be able to understand the impact this is having on the team it self. To me that is the real win & the real value in this. Obviously if you told KZbin that, you'd get crushed but it's the truth. How does a company put a number on employee retention, relationships, motivation, and camaraderie idk, but I do know from my experience this is going to give HouseHack a whole other life of it's own. Not to mention the limitless content it will allow for also. +++ the value it provides by giving you the ability to travel a lot while also being able to lay your head in your own bed at the same time. ABSOLUTELY A1 PURCHASE!

@@CurieBohr I encourage you to do a shadow day. If you saw the behind the scenes you'd quickly realize the jet allows for so much more than just the outward appearance of travel. This was a great purchase in my eyes.

[@brandinghoward]

​@@lukewalker1051 It's almost like there is this huge contingency of people who know he provides so much value so they don't tune out but seeing how hard he works and how successful he is makes them insecure about their own lives. So rather than look inwardly and go hustle to create their own dream they choose to hate on him and try to bring him down.

[@LookOutside...]

@@brandinghoward its also almost like his income depends on making videos so of course he continues to share information

[@costafilh0]

Some people are so jealous. Be happy for others! The math checks out and keeping the hard work the plane should be paid for sooner than later. After that it is just a profit accelerator machine.

[@estebanangel5695]

I recently watched a podcast of a Billionare yes with a B. Who said that the worst lifetime investment he did was to buy a private jet. You can find it, the guy's name is Paul Orfalea, he was the founder of Kinko's and made his billions when he sold it to Fedex. Let's see how this experiment for Kevin works out , time will tell at the end.

[@KUSHYkwish]

Just my two cents. If someone is consistently talking about how much a single private jet is and makes multiple videos about his private jet... they probably can't afford it. I think kevin needs to admit this was a terrible business idea and he doesn't quite have the capital at the moment to be a private jet owner

[@costafilh0]

Or maybe he is just business oriented and is milking it as much as he can. By the time the first year tax rebate ends he probably got the second year already paid for. At the third year house hack will be full steam and the usage costs will go down considerably. Fourth year the thing is already paid for and after that is just a profit acceleration machine. The only question I have is, but I'm sure he will address it on future content, is when it does make sense to keep the plane and when it does make sense to replace it for a new or newer one.

[@sliceofheaven3026]

I really think the point of getting a private jet is if you have over 1 bill and can somewhat easily acquire 10 or 15 million in cash somewhat easily if the need arises. If instead you have to offer people a option to fly in a jet with you for cash then I think a jet might not be a viable option for travel.

[@MeetKevin]

If you buy fuel, a lot of these fees are nominal or 0. So kinda built into the fuel price.

[@captainkirk3697]

You start flying overseas you get into overflight permits for each country. Huge pain. You end up needing a full travel bureau with full time peeps to do overflight permits, get visas for all your pax, make arrangements for accommodations….etc…doable for a high end op…

Let me translate this marketing speech: "Me travelling on a private plane doesn't actually provide that much value compared to using any other means of transportation, so I don't feel comfortable billing start up for it but I'll just say I am doing it from the goodness of my heart to make myself and investors feel better"

[@BrianOgilvie79]

Kevin, as a aircraft owner and aircraft mechanic.......i believe that you are sorely mistaken on your overly optimistic expectations of owning a jet. Things are 10x more expensive to repair or replace and you will find that the best choice is a situation like flex jet where you buy hours of managed fleet. Dont say that many of us here who know......didnt warn you.

[@tioswift3676]

So if you own a plane and it breaks...what do you do? I’m assuming the hangar wherever it’s landed has mechanics you can pay to fix it? What about parts and such? Seems crazy expensive to own a jet and be responsible for 100% of the repair costs and such. And I’m guessing jet mechanics aren’t $70/ hr labor

[@tioswift3676]

@@iankennedy2592 I believe so, but not 100% sure. More plane crashed from small charger jets like his vs commercial planes who definitely are regulated by pretty strict maintenance schedules, not sure of that’s because lesser maintenance or something else.

Awesome video, learned alot. Would love to see an updated net worth video since the plane purchase! It's been a while.

[@SI-lg2vp]

Not likely you will ever fly 400 hours per year. Fractional ownership has a very high utilization in flight hours and it takes a toil on depreciated values. Everyone would have to depart and return to the same destinations. You need to fact check your assumptions with a jet management company. It's not in your best interest to operate under Part 91. You need to operate under Part 135 so that plane is maintained under this part, and can be sold at a later date. Trying to sell a plane that has been Part 91 operated might make it harder to sell, and need extensive maintenance to bring it back to Part 135. Play with the numbers all you want, but be prepared for financial shock when you need a new, set of brakes, replace a windshield, a starter generator, engine hot section inspection. bird strike, engine shutdown. It will take your breath away.

[@tioswift3676]

What is this 91/135? Taxes?

[@wavetechenterprisesllc7204]

The charter cost for your aircraft, with a minimum of two hours, is roughly $5,000 per hour round-trip or $6000 one way, not the $14,000 that you mentioned within your video. Also, you’ll have to “give back” the 100% appreciation in the first year, if you sell the airplane within five years. The break even for aircraft ownership, depending on the variable fuel expense and passengers on board, is between 350 and 500 hours per year.

[@MeetKevin]

Imagine his wife: baby why are you flying so much and I don't see you anymore? Kevin: baby I have to fly even more to lower my costs Wife: yes but do you actually have a job there to do? Kevin: No, I need to lower my costs 😂 However he has the money to do it and more power to him his gonna make the money back 10x but dude this type of mental gymnastics is insulting our intelligence. Just say I want it, will make the money back and I can afford so f u guys. Although I don't believe it.

Ok, here's a question, with all of those costs, is it really viable to think you(and your investors) are going to make a profit from buying and selling real estate in multiple locations? To me that sounds like (at the very least) a logistical nightmare...

[@brandinghoward]

He is not buying AND selling. House Hack will be a buy and HOLD real estate investment company. You buy properties with cashflow in mind on the front end. So yes buying and RENTING in multiple areas is not only going to be seamless (especially with the addition of the jet) but it will be very profitable.

[@Czechbound]

*FIXED COSTS* : When comparing jet ownership to hiring a jet, fixed costs should include the financing cost, or an imputed opportunity cost of ownership. And it should include the fixed portion of depreciation. The jet will lose value due to age and improvements in new jets, just like cars. *VARIABLE COSTS* : Should include an amount for depreciation based on number of hours flying. A lightly used jet will command a higher price than one used a lot.

[@Czechbound]

@@iankennedy2592 Hey, we can all make mistakes. As long as we're always learning. And in fairness, Kevin does a great job in providing free information here that can help everybody form a view. And I don't have a private plane, so he's doing something right ! Anyway, peace and love.

[@Czechbound]

*OPPORTUNITY INCOME* : If total costs per your example are c. $7000 per hour, and Net Jets hire these things out at $14000 per hour, you could make a case for leasing your jet to Net Jets. Let's say they pay you $9000 per hour, so you make a profit of $2000 per hour. If it flew 1000 hours a year, you make $2mm on your jet. What am I missing here ? What is the utilisation of a typical Net Jet ? 50% ? 80% ? How many chargeable hours does a typical Net Jet do per year ? 1500 ? 2000 ? Looks like you could use your jet when you wanted, and still make say $1mm lending it to Net Jets.

[@terrya6486]

I want to see how much you write off on your taxes per flight hour.

[@travismartinson1813]

You need to add in the lost opportunity cost of the money you used for the down-payment that could have been invested.

Not sure if you saw my comment about building a framework around a specific audience or not. However content like this for most of your audience comes off as boosting, does not really add anything for most of those that watch your videos. I have been fortunate as well and I often pick up the tab when dinning out. One night a friend approached me and explained how he did not appreciate it as it made him feel like less of a person. Something I learned a long time ago as I accumulated wealth is to be considerate of those around you that are not as fortunate and how my wealth can intimidate others or put them off in regards to how I talk or my actions (like picking up a tab). My guess is most of your audience cannot afford a jet...Just some advice and something to be aware of. Its not hating, its more about being socially aware. Congrats on the Jet, just some food for thought.

[@Cardstacker]

Pretty cool and informative, thanks. Only question, since the cost still seems extreme, wouldn't it be cheaper to design your business around less travel need, or if you're understandably not wanting to buy in CA, just move? Yes, I understand family/weather attachment, but we are talking 8 figures here, not a small percentage of the money you control.

[@costafilh0]

If House Hack was paying for the Jet it wouldn't be worth it. It would be more reasonable to start local and grow from there. Since he is paying for it himself, the jet gives and absurd leverage to the business and will help it to grow way faster.
