You're talking about 190 00:07:29,416 --> 00:07:30,784 a lot of the majors being done. 191 00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:33,286 That's normally a big, big, big dent on our budget, 192 00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:35,021 and it comes out of your design budget. 193 00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:37,057 New deck. There's a new addition, here. 194 00:07:37,157 --> 00:07:38,591 I mean, it could be a laundry room. 195 00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:40,193 A lot of things have already been done. 196 00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,062 So, we can come in, hopefully fix it up, 197 00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:44,197 make it pretty, restore it, bring it back to life 198 00:07:44,264 --> 00:07:46,166 and then we're solid. In and out. 199 00:07:46,232 --> 00:07:48,868 The numbers look good. We bought it for 170,000. 200 00:07:48,868 --> 00:07:52,405 ARV here is, you know, 380, sometimes a little bit more. 201 00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:55,709 I know it looks like all of these majors are done. 202 00:07:55,775 --> 00:07:58,011 So, it looks like foundation has been here. 203 00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,246 Electrical has been here. Plumbing has been done. 204 00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,315 We've got some framing work that's been done. 205 00:08:02,382 --> 00:08:04,551 But if it wasn't done right, 206 00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:06,920 how much money is it gonna cost us, number one, 207 00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:09,022 to assess if it was done right, and then, number two, 208 00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:10,857 to fix anything that wasn't done right, 209 00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:13,827 not to mention any permitting that might need to be done? 210 00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,596 Fair enough. I will say, them cutting into the support beam, 211 00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:18,365 -that, you know... -That's sketchy. 212 00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:20,433 I was pretty confident up until that point. 213 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,969 But even though most of the majors look done, 214 00:08:23,036 --> 00:08:25,405 I'm setting the reno budget at 80,000, 215 00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:27,073 just in case things go wrong. 216 00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:29,109 But guess what? Even if we had to go up 217 00:08:29,109 --> 00:08:31,711 in the rehab budget, ARV supports a good number, 218 00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:33,079 we can still make some money, so... 219 00:08:33,146 --> 00:08:34,280 [Chauncey] All right. 220 00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:39,352 [Derek] We've purchased this property for 170,000. 221 00:08:39,419 --> 00:08:41,121 So, it turns out we were right 222 00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:42,989 to set our reno budget at 80,000. 223 00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:46,426 That will include redoing the plumbing, electrical, 224 00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:48,962 all new HVAC and a new roof. 225 00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:53,199 The estimated closing costs are $24,700. 226 00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:57,070 With a 60-day timeline, loan interest will be $5,000, 227 00:08:57,070 --> 00:09:02,108 which puts our all-in cost at $279,700. 228 00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:04,711 The ARV for a comparable house in this neighborhood 229 00:09:04,778 --> 00:09:07,213 is $380,000. 230 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,082 So, if we can sell it for that number, 231 00:09:09,149 --> 00:09:12,919 we stand to make a profit of $100,300. 232 00:09:15,355 --> 00:09:17,457 [Chauncey] This house may be old and in disrepair, 233 00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,826 but it's a vintage bungalow with a lot of charm. 234 00:09:19,893 --> 00:09:21,861 And once we merge the original style 235 00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:23,897 with a fresh, contemporary vibe, 236 00:09:23,997 --> 00:09:25,799 buyers are going to come flocking. 237 00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:28,101 In the living and dining rooms, the walls have already 238 00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:29,769 been opened up by the previous owner. 239 00:09:29,836 --> 00:09:32,072 So, we're gonna update the space with fresh paint, 240 00:09:32,138 --> 00:09:34,507 new windows, wall treatments and recess lighting. 241 00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,609 But the biggest impact will be restoring 242 00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:38,311 the original hardwood floors. 243 00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:40,447 In the kitchen the walls have already been removed 244 00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:42,549 to make it an open-concept, so now, 245 00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:44,784 we're gonna finish off this space with new cabinets, 246 00:09:44,851 --> 00:09:46,953 granite countertops and new flooring. 247 00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:49,222 We're going to remove one window, 248 00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:51,724 and install a fixed transom window above the sink 249 00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:53,526 to serve as a backsplash. 250 00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:54,861 And in the new addition, 251 00:09:54,861 --> 00:09:56,563 we're gonna add washer/dryer hookups 252 00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:57,797 and install new flooring 253 00:09:57,864 --> 00:09:59,365 to make it a functional laundry room. 254 00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:01,634 In the new primary bath, we're going to install 255 00:10:01,701 --> 00:10:04,037 a walk-in shower, vanity and flooring. 256 00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:06,172 In the hall bathroom, we're going to install 257 00:10:06,239 --> 00:10:08,408 a shower/bath combo and vanity. 258 00:10:08,475 --> 00:10:09,943 And in the backyard, 259 00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:11,945 we're going to finish construction on the new porch 260 00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:14,347 and build a pergola, to provide more outdoor living space. 261 00:10:17,016 --> 00:10:19,085 [upbeat rock music] 262 00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:24,724 [Derek] This house has definitely seen 263 00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:26,392 some termite damage. 264 00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:28,461 So, the first thing we gotta do, 265 00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:30,630 is demo all of that rotten framing and paneling. 266 00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:34,167 Then, we're installing new framing. 267 00:10:35,835 --> 00:10:38,004 -Next... -[drill whirring] 268 00:10:38,071 --> 00:10:39,906 ...we're cutting the doorway from the kitchen 269 00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:42,509 into the new addition which was planned as a mud room. 270 00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:44,878 But we're upgrading it by installing framing 271 00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:46,613 for a washer-dryer closet, 272 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,915 and making this a proper laundry room. 273 00:10:50,917 --> 00:10:53,353 In the kitchen, we're framing out a new window, 274 00:10:53,419 --> 00:10:55,421 which Chauncey designed to be the same height 275 00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,857 as the backsplash. 276 00:10:57,957 --> 00:10:59,659 And since we didn't have to do much demo... 277 00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:01,661 [drill whirring] 278 00:11:01,728 --> 00:11:04,264 ...we're ready to go right into drywall installation. 279 00:11:06,299 --> 00:11:08,101 Finally, on the back porch, 280 00:11:08,201 --> 00:11:10,637 we checked with the city, and to our relief, 281 00:11:10,703 --> 00:11:12,238 the deck is officially permitted. 282 00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:14,607 The previous owner left a few things undone, 283 00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:16,276 so we're finishing the job by installing 284 00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:18,912 the last of the porch framing and soffits. 285 00:11:22,081 --> 00:11:23,716 [upbeat blues music] 286 00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:28,421 -What's up, guys? -[Jeff] Derek.
