I know thet's in Detroit, I believe in Brightmoor. It's so nice to see someone remodel a home with their own ideas instead of the same grey colored walls, horrible white/grey flooring. It looks really nice.

That's what I was thinking, Detroit. Only because when they were walking up there were other boarded up houses.

[@Stressless2023]

Not the Brightmoor area, that street would have looked much worse and more abandoned if so lol - This was in the "Greenfield" area of West Detroit, in between 8mile and 7mile Rd.

They do such a great jobs and almost all of their projects are affordable for buyers and for what I can tell doesn't cause a massive gentrification spike to the area.

Agree! Can you imagine the grease just from normal cooking seeping into the many crevices. When I did my kitchen I said I wanted flat kitchen cabinet doors, the designer tried to dissuade me, he said, what kind of statement is not going to make? A clean statement - because all it takes is some cleaner & a cloth & I’m done in five!

As a seasoned house flipper, I can say that your choice of materials and finishes is top-notch. It adds so much value.

[@ruthanderson1758]

The cabinet doors in the kitchen are really unique and beautiful but I think with all those little spaces, they would be a dust and grease trap, especially the ones closet to the stove. Would love to have seen how the rest of the place turned out.

[@princessbc9791]

I completely agree. It is unique but a bit much for kitchen cabinets, I could see that design on a credenza but I didn't like them in the kitchen. I also hated the backsplash...brown on brown on brown. The rest of the house was beautiful!

[@rocky8758]

I wish hgtv would renew their sho. I think they are actually doing something to help lower income families get their own homes. Many of the other shows that work in renovations go overboard and only people with higher incomes can afford. Plus they can make a tidy profit to boot.

[@lilybutler9740]

I love their projects and here comes a BUT: The railing around the porch is not treated? The kitchen cabinets will be a NIGHTMARE to clean.

Had a great time in Phoenix buying these 1200 sf boxes, jacking them way up and putting in a first floor that is 4feer below grade with 9 foot head clearance and a huge central open area with a staircase. Usually the lower level had three bedrooms, two baths and everything else including the master with an ensuite and an extra powder room .

[@xali2008]

they paid $15k for the house plus $30k for renovation comes to total of $45k, if they sold it for $90k it would be 100% profit not 600%

[@PERSISTENTxMF]

I was going to say, is no one going to question their math?

[@autordijanaferkovic]

If you think of 30k like reinvoicing (you put it in, and buyer gave you back), then house sold for net 60k, meaning the profit is 400%

[@samtriglone8858]

Actually 100% profit. If they had sold it for $45k they would have made no profit at all (0%). Doubling your money means you made a 100% profit. Whoever wrote the title has done 6 times $15k, the purchase price of the property, which makes no sense, and is still wrong as this would equate to a 500% profit as you can't count getting back what you spent in the first place as "profit".

The wood feature on the cabinets make for nightmare cleaning. In a kitchen which is full of grease you want easy wipe down. It’s beautiful but not for a kitchen. Maybe a three d paint effect that can be wiped down

[@lynnedean713]

Hi, May I make a cheeky question? I have watched loads of renovation shows, both in America and here in England. One thing I notice is whenever the workers start whacking down walls, they come across many problems like main drains etc. In America, do you not have blue print plans of all your houses? In England, you cannot sneeze without the local Council knowing about it - they are very strict, and each home comes with blue prints of not only the house but outside too, in case there are any access to drains and sewers that the home owner needs to be aware of. So if you want to concrete or pave over your front or back garden, tough, you have to make sure that the access points, like large square metal lids, (we call them manholes, no sexism intended) are accessible at all times. Thank you for your videos but, I too, wish they were longer!

[@jadecarson5081]

First, Debbie you need to have a salary of at least 25k before you will be considered for a mortgage, that you need for properties. If you want to achieve a 75 percent yield yearly, try looking out for an investing advisory or else you will be competing against professionals themselves.

If you invest your money wisely it called slow and steady. You are the turtle. You will become rich when you retire and this is true, But most people don’t have the patience and the understanding on how to invest properly, most people buy nice cars, nice TVs etc And blow their money that way in life

[@jadecarson5081]

That's an intentional way to live Jessica, that's the only way to become debt free. I've already paid off two previous mortgages. Now I'm working on my third and I cannot wait since it has to happen before retirement in four years and I'm already getting there the proficient way, Luckily for me my trader and coach Frost Hilda has been using every opportunity to ensure I benefit from each turn the market takes. Good luck staying debt free as much as possible in the future.

[@samtriglone8858]

If you watch this show regularly you notice many of the houses around the ones they renovate are abandoned and completely derelict. Many have obviously had squatters living in them. As more properties are fixed up and the quality of the neighborhood increases the prices they charge for each house gradually increases. There are some episodes of this show and others where they pay $5k for the house if it is in a really terrible area, I've even seen some other similar shows where the city will gift it for free on the condition it is renovated to a high standard.

@Eliza: lots of homes in Detroit have only one bathroom. Sometimes there is a half bath in the basement. I grew up in a neighborhood that had a family with 10 kids and they only had one bathroom. They learned to take turns.

its amazing that alot of people do, we try to add another bath in 3bedrm homes, because who does'nt want 2 baths

[@Stressless2023]

1 bath is usually standard in these types of Detroit homes, you may get lucky and have plumbing for a half bath in the basement like someone else said here, but basement half baths don't typically add that much value overall from what I've found - I've had VERY good results adding a half bath in the upper bedroom of these bungalow style homes like this one though (usually no room for a shower/tub), it's costly for sure ($6-8k is what I typically spend), but a pleasant return on investment and always surprises buyers - Every bungalow I've added a "master suite" to has sold at full price or slightly above asking when I make that addition.

Taste is subjective but there were alot of elements in the reno that didn't feel considered. Two flower planters sitting precariously on the entrance deck, the large purposeless bowl sitting on the dining table, the whicker basket on top of the fridge serving no purpose. The kitchen is the biggest crime, impractical surfaces that wont allow wiping down and an overly busy mix of ornate tiles and lines on the doors.
