1
00:00:01,567 --> 00:00:03,066
[Tristyn] I think it's
one of the worst houses
2
00:00:03,066 --> 00:00:06,200
we'll probably ever encounter
in our entire career.
3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,266
-This house excites
the crap out of me.
-[chuckles]
4
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:10,667
I'm Kamohai Kalama...
5
00:00:10,667 --> 00:00:13,100
-Right? [chuckles]
-Ew!
6
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,200
And I'm Tristyn Kalama.
7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,300
I put on extra deodorant
for this.
8
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:18,367
[Kamohai] We buy
and renovate homes
9
00:00:18,367 --> 00:00:21,367
in the most challenging place
in the country, Hawaii.
10
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:23,266
Shipping is more than
the actual material cost.
11
00:00:23,266 --> 00:00:26,166
The real estate here
is crazy expensive.
12
00:00:26,166 --> 00:00:28,166
[Kamohai] So to make
this work, we have to take on
13
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:30,166
some of the most rundown homes
on the island.
14
00:00:31,567 --> 00:00:32,767
[Tristyn] Oh, good heavens!
15
00:00:32,767 --> 00:00:35,567
-[Kamohai] How do we do it?
-[Tristyn] Our giant family.
16
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:38,367
[Kamohai] I have
87 first cousins.
17
00:00:38,367 --> 00:00:39,767
Yo, what's up, cuz?
18
00:00:39,767 --> 00:00:44,367
More than anything,
we want our children to be
good human beings.
19
00:00:44,367 --> 00:00:47,166
Exactly. We can't have little
[bleep] walking around.
20
00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:48,967
[chuckling] Little [bleep]
walking around.
21
00:00:54,667 --> 00:00:57,667
♪ Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it? ♪
22
00:01:07,166 --> 00:01:08,900
-[Kamohai] Hi.
-Howdy, partner?
23
00:01:09,467 --> 00:01:10,667
This one's a looker.
24
00:01:10,667 --> 00:01:12,266
[Kamohai] Yeah? You like
the neighborhood?
25
00:01:12,266 --> 00:01:13,767
Ah!
26
00:01:13,767 --> 00:01:15,166
-[chuckles]
-Questionable.
27
00:01:15,166 --> 00:01:17,967
[Kamohai] The neighborhood
is excellent. [chuckles]
28
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:19,300
I like the end
of a cul-de-sac, though.
29
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:20,867
Look on the bright side,
right?
30
00:01:20,867 --> 00:01:23,567
I mean, I don't know.
31
00:01:23,567 --> 00:01:25,000
-I mean, it's rough, right?
-Yes.
32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,200
-But we never know if we want
these houses in the beginning.
-I just...
33
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,567
-We got to look
through them first, right?
-Yeah.
34
00:01:29,567 --> 00:01:32,667
[Kamohai] Today,
we are in an area
called Waipahu,
35
00:01:32,667 --> 00:01:34,900
centrally located
right between
36
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:36,800
North Shore and Honolulu.
37
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,867
It is densely populated
38
00:01:38,867 --> 00:01:41,567
with big,
multigenerational families,
39
00:01:41,567 --> 00:01:43,467
[Tristyn] A lot
of diverse population.
40
00:01:43,467 --> 00:01:47,500
It's considered a more
affordable part compared
to other areas on Oahu.
41
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,467
[Kamohai] You have
renovated homes
and others
42
00:01:50,467 --> 00:01:53,266
that really haven't been
touched forever.
43
00:01:53,266 --> 00:01:55,567
What's the deets?
What's the story on this?
44
00:01:55,567 --> 00:01:57,567
It's a three-bedroom,
two-bath,
45
00:01:57,567 --> 00:01:59,967
just over 1,700 square feet
46
00:01:59,967 --> 00:02:02,667
on a 9,700-square-foot lot.
47
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:05,367
-[Tristyn] Really?
-I mean, it's super unassuming
when you walk up.
48
00:02:05,367 --> 00:02:06,800
Yeah. Where'd you get
this one from?
49
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,166
The seller reached out
via our website.
50
00:02:09,166 --> 00:02:11,100
They said they had tenants
in here.
51
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,800
From what they said,
they're dealing with some
crazy stuff.
52
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,166
Sounds like they're motivated.
53
00:02:15,166 --> 00:02:17,066
-Definitely.
-What do they want for it?
54
00:02:17,066 --> 00:02:19,200
[Kamohai] They're asking
$700,000.
55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,266
Comps in the area
are selling for a little
over $1.1 million,
56
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:25,000
so I wanted to get you here
57
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,767
to walk through the house,
figure out
58
00:02:26,767 --> 00:02:28,300
what we think rehab
is gonna be,
59
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,467
so we can see
if there's a deal here.
60
00:02:30,467 --> 00:02:33,200
Average home sales price
right now in Oahu
61
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,266
is just under $1.2 million,
which is nuts.
62
00:02:36,266 --> 00:02:40,867
But if we can fix
and sell this property
for under that,
63
00:02:40,867 --> 00:02:43,066
it'll be great
for local buyers.
64
00:02:43,066 --> 00:02:46,266
But it also means
we need to be super tight
on our numbers.
65
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:49,367
We don't have a huge margin
to play with here.
66
00:02:49,367 --> 00:02:50,567
-[horns honking at a distance]
-Do you hear that?
67
00:02:50,567 --> 00:02:51,767
What?
68
00:02:51,767 --> 00:02:53,800
It sounds like a lot
of moving vehicles?
69
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,800
It's very apparent
that we're very close
to the highway.
70
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,166
-I can hear the cars as well.
-Exactly. Yeah.
71
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:01,400
-Semi-truck.
-I can hear it, too.
72
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,667
Show me the house.
73
00:03:02,667 --> 00:03:04,400
-Let's go ahead.
-I wanna see the house.
Let's go.
74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,400
[Kamohai] She said
to use that side door
right over there
75
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,867
on the side of the cardboard.
76
00:03:08,867 --> 00:03:11,867
[Tristyn] From the outside,
this place looks like
it's in decent shape.
77
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,667
All right.
78
00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:19,266
Walked right into the kitchen.
79
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:21,767
[Tristyn] And popcorn ceiling.
80
00:03:21,767 --> 00:03:24,567
They decided that they were
just gonna throw flooring
81
00:03:24,567 --> 00:03:26,400
and just cover
some cracks in this.
82
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,467
I mean, design.
83
00:03:28,467 --> 00:03:29,967
-No.
-[Kamohai chuckles]
84
00:03:29,967 --> 00:03:32,166
-Look at the countertops.
-[Tristyn] Gross.
85
00:03:32,166 --> 00:03:34,767
It's just
a bacteria nightmare.
86
00:03:34,767 --> 00:03:36,200
Okay, so kitchen has to go.
87
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,266
Yeah, but it has good flow.
88
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,000
This door goes straight.
89
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,100
[Kamohai] Okay, it looks like
the living room is out there.
90
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:44,867
What do we have right here?
91
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,266
It's a dartboard.
92
00:03:46,266 --> 00:03:47,867
[Kamohai] That
was a dartboard.
93
00:03:47,867 --> 00:03:50,200
This was some kind
of a game room.
94
00:03:52,667 --> 00:03:55,367
[Tristyn] Yeah, but this
is a great living room.
95
00:03:55,367 --> 00:03:56,667
It's nice and big.
96
00:03:56,667 --> 00:03:58,367
You have designated TV wall.
97
00:03:58,367 --> 00:03:59,667
Like, this makes sense.
98
00:03:59,667 --> 00:04:02,667
But it's kind of disjointed
here, though.
99
00:04:02,667 --> 00:04:04,000
This was all exterior.
100
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,967
-This is all built-on.
-[Tristyn] Okay.
101
00:04:05,967 --> 00:04:07,300
But if you come back this way,
102
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:09,000
what's behind this wall
right here?
103
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,500
[Kamohai] Let's go walk
down there and see what's
on the inside.
104
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:12,867
[Tristyn] It looks very dark.
105
00:04:12,867 --> 00:04:14,900
-Let me go first.
-There's so many
dead cockroaches.
106
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:16,867
Ew!
107
00:04:16,867 --> 00:04:19,166
So this looks like
the front entryway.
108
00:04:19,166 --> 00:04:21,467
[Tristyn] But see how
closed-off and weird this is.
109
00:04:21,467 --> 00:04:23,000
Like, this
is the main entrance
110
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,367
that a "buyer" is gonna
walk through.
111
00:04:25,367 --> 00:04:26,900
There's no way
112
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,800
you can walk
in your front door
113
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,000
and you're in this, like,
little, narrow, long hallway
114
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,900
with a wall
right in front of you.
115
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:35,800
This has to go.
This has to go.
116
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,400
-That has to go.
-Totally.
117
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,567
Now I can see
why she wanted us to come
through the side door.
118
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,266
The bathroom.
119
00:04:43,266 --> 00:04:45,667
-It's a good size.
-It's a super
good-sized bathroom.
120
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:48,266
-[Tristyn] Water damage.
-No doors.
121
00:04:48,266 --> 00:04:51,100
[Tristyn] Tiles coming out.
Demo. Redo.
122
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:54,467
Well, this looks like
bedroom number one.
123
00:04:54,467 --> 00:04:57,500
-[Tristyn] This is not
a bedroom. There's no window.
-[Kamohai] But...
124
00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:00,867
-There is no window.
-There's a closet, but...
125
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:02,166
-[Kamohai] Not to code.
-No.
126
00:05:02,166 --> 00:05:05,166
-This is not a bedroom.
-This doesn't make sense.
127
00:05:05,166 --> 00:05:07,867
-Tons of closets.
-Yeah, that's good, actually.
128
00:05:07,867 --> 00:05:10,100
-Storage.
-So, I mean,
this is a decent bedroom.
129
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,867
The flooring has been
ripped out.
130
00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:14,000
So, demo has already
been done.
131
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,300
[Kamohai] I mean,
it looks like they started
to double-wall it...
132
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,567
-[Tristyn] I know.
-...and put in some
makeshift electrical.
133
00:05:19,567 --> 00:05:22,100
-[Tristyn] Sketchy.
-I feel like the house feels
134
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:23,867
structurally okay so far.
135
00:05:23,867 --> 00:05:26,867
-Yeah, to me, I'm not seeing
any crazy water...
-[Kamohai] It's just--
136
00:05:26,867 --> 00:05:29,100
...or termite damage.
This is good.
137
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:29,934
Next room.
138
00:05:29,934 --> 00:05:32,867
[Kamohai] This is
a smaller bedroom.
139
00:05:32,867 --> 00:05:34,400
What's all over the ground?
140
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,166
It smells like cigarettes.
141
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:41,500
Let me do something
real quick.
142
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,000
Why?
143
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,667
[vehicles driving
at a distance]
144
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:49,100
-Yes, you can still
hear the cars.
-Yeah, you can.
145
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:52,367
-Mmm-hmm. And it's
a new vinyl window.
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
146
00:05:52,367 --> 00:05:54,900
But there's burn marks
on the ground.
147
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:58,266
-All signs point to--
-The kind of house we buy.
148
00:05:58,266 --> 00:05:59,567
Well, let's go
to the other side.
149
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:02,800
I think there's
another bedroom
around that side.
150
00:06:04,767 --> 00:06:05,867
Okay.
151
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,100
-[Tristyn] Okay, so this is--
-So, we have...
152
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,867
-Dude, look
at all the cockroaches.
-[Tristyn] So gross.
153
00:06:11,867 --> 00:06:14,467
This is a very
large bathroom, though.
154
00:06:14,467 --> 00:06:16,900
[Tristyn] You could rework it
to make it nice.
155
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:20,400
But right now, between
whatever's smeared
on the ground,
156
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,166
and then the amount
of cockroaches, this is gross.
157
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:25,066
But you have a lot of space
to work with,
158
00:06:25,066 --> 00:06:26,767
-and it's another bathroom.
-[Kamohai] I agree.
159
00:06:26,767 --> 00:06:30,000
-Okay.
-[Tristyn] So then,
this is the last and biggest.
160
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,300
[Kamohai] This is the primary.
161
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:32,667
Really good size.
162
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:36,100
It stinks in here,
but it's a great space.
You're right.
163
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:37,667
They also have flooring
164
00:06:37,667 --> 00:06:39,367
blocking off the windows.
165
00:06:39,367 --> 00:06:42,266
It's a security measure.
And the amount of cockroaches,
166
00:06:42,266 --> 00:06:44,066
some of these
are like B-52 bombers.
167
00:06:44,066 --> 00:06:45,467
-You know what I mean?
-[Kamohai] They're humongous.
168
00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:47,166
[Tristyn] Like,
they're legit flyers.
169
00:06:47,166 --> 00:06:48,767
I want to play a game.
170
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,600
-[Tristyn] Ugh...
-How many cockroaches
171
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,100
-are dead in this room?
-Ten.
172
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:55,867
I'm guessing eight.
173
00:06:55,867 --> 00:06:57,400
Are we really gonna
count them?
174
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,400
-One, two...
-You're very competitive.
175
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:02,867
-...three, four...
-Four, five...
176
00:07:02,867 --> 00:07:04,867
-...five...
-...six, seven, eight,
177
00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:07,200
nine, ten, eleven...
178
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,767
-twelve, thirteen...
-[Kamohai chuckling] What?
179
00:07:08,767 --> 00:07:10,567
...fourteen, fifteen.
180
00:07:10,567 --> 00:07:12,567
-I win!
-You win. Yes.
181
00:07:12,567 --> 00:07:13,600
[Tristyn] Gross.
182
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,100
-I want to get out
of this room.
-Yeah, me too.
183
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,367
-We still have to see
the backyard. Yeah.
-I wanna see the backyard.
184
00:07:17,367 --> 00:07:20,000
Overall, the layout
is not bad.
185
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,200
But if the backyard is, like,
in good shape and not gross...
186
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:26,467
Oh, my gosh.
187
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:28,467
There's a freeway
in the backyard.
188
00:07:28,467 --> 00:07:30,667
[Tristyn] Literally,
right there.
189
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:31,900
I knew it.
190
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,367
-[Kamohai] Not good.
[chuckles]
-[Tristyn] Not good at all!
191
00:07:34,367 --> 00:07:35,767
-[Kamohai] What?
-[horns honking]
192
00:07:35,767 --> 00:07:37,367
That's a huge deterrent.
193
00:07:37,367 --> 00:07:39,266
Nobody wants a freeway
in their backyard.
194
00:07:39,266 --> 00:07:42,367
That is immediately gonna
kill so many buyers.
195
00:07:42,367 --> 00:07:44,500
[Kamohai] But look at how big
the backyard is.
196
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:47,000
Can you imagine
all of this cleared out?
197
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,100
-This is a lot
of usable yard.
-Yeah, this is... This is--
198
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:52,500
-[Kamohai] I mean, look at
this beautiful plumeria tree.
-[Tristyn] Yes.
199
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:54,467
-[Kamohai] There's
a noni tree.
-There's noni.
200
00:07:54,467 --> 00:07:55,867
[both] There's mango.
201
00:07:55,867 --> 00:07:58,000
-Yep, all the things...
-[horns honking]
202
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,166
...but sorry,
I can't hear you.
203
00:08:00,166 --> 00:08:01,700
There's a semi-truck.
204
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:03,567
[Kamohai] Well, luckily,
we're at a price point
205
00:08:03,567 --> 00:08:05,800
where you can still
make this work,
206
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,000
because if we don't
buy this house,
somebody else will.
207
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,567
I think we can sell this house
208
00:08:10,567 --> 00:08:13,266
for a little
over $1.1 million.
209
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:14,967
If we do that, you tell me
210
00:08:14,967 --> 00:08:16,266
what do you think the reno
would be.
211
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:19,100
For the house,
you're like $180,000,
212
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:20,600
but you got to cushion
the budget
213
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,467
for all this landscaping
and a privacy fence.
214
00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:25,100
I mean, easy $20,000,
215
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:26,066
so, like, $200,000.
216
00:08:26,066 --> 00:08:27,367
[Kamohai] So that would mean,
217
00:08:27,367 --> 00:08:29,767
if we're doing
a eight-week renovation
218
00:08:29,767 --> 00:08:32,700
and about $150,000
in holding and closing costs,
219
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:37,166
in order to hit our minimum
profit margin of $100,000...
220
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:39,867
-[Tristyn] Yeah.
-...we need to get it
for $650,000.
221
00:08:39,867 --> 00:08:44,000
-You're super confident
in over $1.1 million?
-Yes.
222
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,367
Nobody's living in it.
223
00:08:45,367 --> 00:08:47,800
It's a vacant house.
It's a house that we
could renovate...
224
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,567
-Bring back.
-...and bring back
into the supply of the market.
225
00:08:50,567 --> 00:08:53,200
If every house was renovated
in this neighborhood...
226
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,266
-It would be... Yeah.
-...the price of this house
227
00:08:55,266 --> 00:08:58,100
would be so expensive,
we wouldn't be able to buy it.
228
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:59,967
I get it. It hits the mission.
229
00:08:59,967 --> 00:09:01,467
It checks all the boxes.
230
00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:03,200
-Exactly.
-But this scares me.
231
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,266
The freeway scares me.
232
00:09:05,266 --> 00:09:07,266
I'm telling you right now
that we will be
233
00:09:07,266 --> 00:09:09,100
the highest sold house
in this neighborhood.
234
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:10,600
-Do you really promise?
-I promise.
235
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,166
-On our children?
-Yes.
236
00:09:12,166 --> 00:09:14,000
-[chuckling] Okay. I'm in.
-[horns honking]
237
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,266
-[Tristyn] Another one.
-[Kamohai] Yeah, another semi.
238
00:09:21,467 --> 00:09:22,800
In order to make our minimum,
239
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,567
we had to buy the property
at $650,000.
240
00:09:26,567 --> 00:09:29,567
So our strategy
was to offer a little less
241
00:09:29,567 --> 00:09:32,166
at $625,000, just in case
they countered,
242
00:09:32,166 --> 00:09:35,500
which they did at $650,000,
243
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:36,667
so it was perfect.
244
00:09:38,467 --> 00:09:39,867
[cell phone ringing]
245
00:09:39,867 --> 00:09:43,433
[phone ringing]
246
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:48,467
-Hello.
-[Rosalie] Hi, Kamohai.
How's it going?
247
00:09:48,467 --> 00:09:49,934
Good. How are you?
248
00:09:49,934 --> 00:09:52,467
I wanted to let you know
there's an issue with
the Waipahu property.
249
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:53,567
Why, what's going on?
250
00:09:53,567 --> 00:09:56,100
So, escrow is open
and your deposit posted.
251
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:58,266
But we've been informed that
a family member of the seller
252
00:09:58,266 --> 00:10:00,567
actually is challenging
the trust
253
00:10:00,567 --> 00:10:02,967
and preventing the transaction
from moving forward.
254
00:10:02,967 --> 00:10:04,667
So they're getting
attorneys involved,
255
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:07,000
and we won't be able to close
256
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,600
until that trust issue
is resolved.
257
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,767
How long is that gonna take?
258
00:10:10,767 --> 00:10:13,166
It could be really quick
or it could take months.
259
00:10:13,166 --> 00:10:15,467
-Oh.
-What does that mean for us?
260
00:10:15,467 --> 00:10:18,200
We're just in escrow
right now. We don't own it.
261
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,967
We're not paying any mortgage.
Nothing.
262
00:10:20,967 --> 00:10:22,700
So we can keep
escrow open, right?
263
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,667
Yes, we could
keep escrow open.
264
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:27,900
All that we have in there
right now is our deposit,
265
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:30,567
and it's not going to take up
a ton of money.
266
00:10:30,567 --> 00:10:31,767
It's just time.
267
00:10:31,767 --> 00:10:34,266
And when it works itself out,
we can still buy it.
268
00:10:35,166 --> 00:10:36,066
I'm fine with that.
269
00:10:36,066 --> 00:10:38,100
Okay. We'll just stay
in communication.
270
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,066
Okay, great. Yep.
I'll keep you posted
on any updates that I hear.
271
00:10:42,066 --> 00:10:43,100
Okay. Thank you.
272
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:45,367
It is what it is.
We just wait.
273
00:10:45,367 --> 00:10:46,367
Just gotta wait.
274
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:54,000
[Tristyn] I mean, we said
we were gonna wait,
and we waited.
275
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,100
[Kamohai chuckles]
276
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:56,967
[Kamohai] When it comes
to real estate in Hawaii,
277
00:10:56,967 --> 00:10:58,367
the name of the game is time.
278
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:00,467
Over time,
properties appreciate,
279
00:11:00,467 --> 00:11:02,967
and we've been really
on a journey.
280
00:11:02,967 --> 00:11:07,000
Our seller had to get
court confirmation
281
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,200
to sell the property
282
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,900
because another family member
had challenged
283
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:13,367
her ability
to be able to sell it.
284
00:11:13,367 --> 00:11:15,567
Which delayed it ten months.
285
00:11:16,367 --> 00:11:18,367
We have done
several other projects
286
00:11:18,367 --> 00:11:21,467
while this one has been going
through its court process.
287
00:11:21,467 --> 00:11:25,467
I mean, we've had
a couple birthdays,
a couple holidays.
288
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:26,900
[cheering]
289
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:28,200
But in real estate,
290
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,500
this is the nature
of the game.
291
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,367
You never know
what's going to happen.
292
00:11:31,367 --> 00:11:33,166
And sometimes,
this is what happens.
293
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:34,400
Life goes on.
294
00:11:35,767 --> 00:11:39,567
We only had five grand
in escrow over this ten months
295
00:11:39,567 --> 00:11:41,100
but now we're ready to go.
296
00:11:43,567 --> 00:11:45,667
-Wow. What's up, man?
-What's up, guys?
297
00:11:45,667 --> 00:11:47,100
[Tristyn] Looks good.
298
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,000
[Kamohai] I mean,
it looks better than it did
the last time we saw it.
299
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,266
-[Tristyn] I know.
-Everything's cleared out.
300
00:11:51,266 --> 00:11:53,100
[Kamohai] And it looks
like the landscape
has been maintained.
301
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:55,266
-Plants aren't overgrown.
-[Tristyn] Nothing's
overgrown.
302
00:11:55,266 --> 00:11:57,000
I'm pleasantly surprised.
303
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,867
If this is an indication
of the inside,
we're in good shape.
304
00:11:59,867 --> 00:12:02,700
Okay, but there's chains
on the door.
305
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,567
-[Kamohai] What the heck?
-The door is chained shut.
306
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:06,800
I mean, I'm gonna chop it up
as a good thing.
307
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,166
The property is secure.
308
00:12:12,767 --> 00:12:14,000
[Kamohai] Dude.
309
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:20,066
-Holy [bleep].
-[Tristyn] What in the world?
310
00:12:20,066 --> 00:12:22,767
-[Kamohai] Look at this place.
-[Tristyn] Oh, my God.
311
00:12:22,767 --> 00:12:24,367
[Kamohai] Somebody's
living in here.
312
00:12:26,367 --> 00:12:27,367
[Kamohai] Dude.
313
00:12:28,767 --> 00:12:29,867
Somebody's living in here.
314
00:12:29,867 --> 00:12:32,000
[Tristyn] Can you make sure
no one is in here?
315
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,166
[Kamohai] Hello? Hello?
316
00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:34,800
Time to go.
317
00:12:36,467 --> 00:12:37,467
Check the bedroom.
318
00:12:37,467 --> 00:12:38,667
[Tristyn] Can you
check it first?
319
00:12:38,667 --> 00:12:40,367
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
-[Tristyn] How about
go down that hallway?
320
00:12:40,367 --> 00:12:41,767
[knocking]
321
00:12:41,767 --> 00:12:43,533
Hello? Hello?
322
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,266
Well, I found how they got in.
This back bedroom.
323
00:12:49,266 --> 00:12:50,367
[Tristyn] Through the window?
324
00:12:50,367 --> 00:12:52,367
-[Kamohai] Yup.
-[Tristyn] But no one's here?
325
00:12:52,367 --> 00:12:53,767
[Kamohai] Nobody's here.
326
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:55,767
[Tristyn] There's candles.
327
00:12:55,767 --> 00:12:57,400
It's like somebody's
just partying.
328
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,266
Like making house,
no electricity.
329
00:12:59,266 --> 00:13:02,600
This is full-on
squatter situation.
330
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,000
They just moved in,
did whatever they want,
331
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,567
left their trash everywhere.
332
00:13:06,567 --> 00:13:08,166
Ugh!
333
00:13:08,166 --> 00:13:09,800
[Kamohai] Somebody's
been here for a while.
334
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,266
They were cooking
inside the house.
335
00:13:12,266 --> 00:13:15,567
Like not on the lanai,
but in this corner.
336
00:13:15,567 --> 00:13:17,400
There's like burn marks
on the ceiling.
337
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,700
-There's a barbecue grill
with charcoal in it.
-[Tristyn] So dangerous.
338
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:22,100
They literally could have
burned the house down.
339
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:24,000
We gotta secure the property.
We gotta board up the windows.
340
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800
We gotta get
"No Trespassing" signs,
341
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,400
change the locks
and then clean all this out.
342
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,100
-I'll call some guys.
-[Kamohai] All right.
343
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,967
I'm gonna start
cleaning it out
while we wait.
344
00:13:31,967 --> 00:13:33,767
[Tristyn] Ugh.
What is that smell?
345
00:13:33,767 --> 00:13:35,867
[upbeat music]
346
00:13:36,667 --> 00:13:37,800
[Kamohai] That's wild.
347
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,400
The whole house
could have burned down.
348
00:13:45,266 --> 00:13:47,100
-[man] Tristyn.
-Yo.
349
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,100
[Kamohai] Yo.
350
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:52,467
So first things first,
we'll just take
all this furniture out.
351
00:13:52,467 --> 00:13:53,800
I'll start boarding up
the windows,
352
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,200
and once the place is empty,
353
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,367
you can basically
jump in with me.
354
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,467
Let's go.
355
00:13:58,467 --> 00:14:01,567
While Travis and the guys
continue clearing everything
out of the house,
356
00:14:01,567 --> 00:14:04,500
I want to introduce myself
to the neighbors.
357
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:06,800
But what I really want to
try and figure out
358
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,300
is when the last time
somebody was actually
in the house.
359
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:12,667
Hi. My name's Kamohai Kalama.
360
00:14:12,667 --> 00:14:15,767
We are gonna fix the house up.
That's what we do.
361
00:14:16,867 --> 00:14:17,767
Yes.
362
00:14:17,767 --> 00:14:19,600
-Hey!
-How's it?
363
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,567
My name's Kamohai Kalama.
We are gonna fix the house up.
364
00:14:22,567 --> 00:14:25,000
-Do you live right here?
-Yeah, yeah. I live here.
365
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,166
Nice. You been here
a long time?
366
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:27,467
-Long time.
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
367
00:14:27,467 --> 00:14:28,867
When we walked
over there today,
368
00:14:28,867 --> 00:14:30,367
I noticed
that it was chained up.
369
00:14:30,367 --> 00:14:33,000
So I'm trying to figure out,
was there somebody in there?
370
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,166
I think there was like
a couple of squatters
in there.
371
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:36,467
-I don't know.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
372
00:14:36,467 --> 00:14:37,667
My brother locked it up.
373
00:14:37,667 --> 00:14:38,967
-No way.
-Yeah.
374
00:14:38,967 --> 00:14:41,266
When was the last time
you saw somebody in there?
375
00:14:41,266 --> 00:14:43,166
After we locked it up,
we hardly see anybody
there anymore.
376
00:14:43,166 --> 00:14:44,500
-Nobody came back?
-Yeah.
377
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,767
Thank you for your brother
locking it up.
378
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:49,166
I owe you a lock,
but I appreciate it.
379
00:14:49,166 --> 00:14:50,567
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Right on.
380
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:51,667
-Mahalo.
-Mahalo.
381
00:14:51,667 --> 00:14:53,000
-Have a good one.
-You too.
382
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,900
Yeah, she's awesome.
383
00:14:57,367 --> 00:14:58,600
[Tristyn] How'd it go?
384
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,867
[Kamohai] I talked
to two neighbors.
385
00:14:59,867 --> 00:15:01,767
The neighbor
right across the street,
386
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:05,166
her brother is the one
that locked the house up.
387
00:15:05,166 --> 00:15:07,667
That's good. At least
you know people are trying
to watch the property.
388
00:15:07,667 --> 00:15:09,066
I told her we cut her lock.
389
00:15:09,066 --> 00:15:11,066
-We can reimburse her for it.
-I know. I told her.
390
00:15:11,066 --> 00:15:12,600
So, the house is cleared out.
391
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,567
So we can just
come back tomorrow and demo.
392
00:15:14,567 --> 00:15:16,300
-Let's get out of here.
-Let's go.
393
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:18,667
[upbeat music]
394
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:26,467
-[Kamohai] Are you guys ready?
-[Tristyn] Ready.
395
00:15:28,767 --> 00:15:30,266
-[Tristyn] Okay.
-[Travis] What's the plan?
396
00:15:30,266 --> 00:15:32,900
[Tristyn] Kitchen's staying
in the same location.
397
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:36,500
We're just gonna rework
where the appliances are
and add more cabinetry.
398
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,266
I want to get
rid of this peninsula
399
00:15:38,266 --> 00:15:41,000
with these upper cabinets
blocking the whole view,
400
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,233
and put an island right here
401
00:15:42,233 --> 00:15:45,967
so it just flows from the door
all the way to the outside.
402
00:15:45,967 --> 00:15:47,567
Kitchen can get fully demo'ed.
403
00:15:47,567 --> 00:15:50,200
This wall behind me
has to come down.
404
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,266
This will be dining.
405
00:15:51,266 --> 00:15:53,200
This will just be
one big living room.
406
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,767
Off the living, you're gonna
have two bedrooms.
407
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:57,567
Hall bath is not moving.
408
00:15:57,567 --> 00:16:00,567
And then a large primary
with the primary bath.
409
00:16:00,567 --> 00:16:03,867
I have to create
a fourth bedroom
on this side of the house
410
00:16:03,867 --> 00:16:06,600
because there is
a bedroom here,
but it's not to code.
411
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,667
[Kamohai] It's not
a real bedroom.
412
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:09,767
So that wall
can get opened up.
413
00:16:09,767 --> 00:16:12,100
-All right, let's go.
-And break.
414
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,400
[upbeat music]
415
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:23,400
[Tristyn] Whoo!
416
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:27,467
You're going wild over here.
417
00:16:27,467 --> 00:16:29,367
Look at all this space
we have now.
418
00:16:29,367 --> 00:16:31,867
-[Tristyn] Yeah.
-[Kamohai] So much more open.
419
00:16:31,867 --> 00:16:33,266
[Tristyn] I'll take it.
420
00:16:33,266 --> 00:16:37,266
It took us almost a year
to be able to do this.
421
00:16:37,266 --> 00:16:38,600
We're off to a good start.
422
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,967
We should be
in and out of this house
in like eight to ten weeks.
423
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:42,967
[Kamohai] We'll see.
424
00:16:50,667 --> 00:16:52,266
[Kamohai] Now that
permits are approved,
425
00:16:52,266 --> 00:16:54,266
the crew can finish demo
and start framing.
426
00:17:08,767 --> 00:17:10,166
[Tristyn] We got lumber.
That's good.
427
00:17:11,266 --> 00:17:13,266
And a dumpster.
We're cranking.
428
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:14,700
It means we're cranking.
429
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,867
[Kamohai] It means demo
is probably almost done.
430
00:17:16,867 --> 00:17:18,867
-Demo's done.
-It is done.
431
00:17:18,867 --> 00:17:20,400
Look, wide open in here.
432
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,400
It feels huge in here.
433
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,100
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
-[Tristyn] So they
started framing.
434
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:27,066
I see they're starting
to frame out that bedroom,
that bedroom.
435
00:17:27,066 --> 00:17:29,567
We still have
a lot of framing to do,
but it's really good.
436
00:17:29,567 --> 00:17:33,467
Are you finding
any kind of crazy damage
that we couldn't see anywhere?
437
00:17:33,467 --> 00:17:34,667
Fortunately, no.
438
00:17:34,667 --> 00:17:36,500
Pretty damn solid.
439
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,066
How long do you think
framing is gonna take?
440
00:17:39,066 --> 00:17:40,367
Maybe another day or two.
441
00:17:40,367 --> 00:17:41,867
Sounds good.
I like the progress.
442
00:17:41,867 --> 00:17:44,000
Let's just keep
a good thing going.
443
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:44,967
Absolutely.
444
00:17:44,967 --> 00:17:46,767
[Tristyn] And remember,
we've got to make sure
445
00:17:46,767 --> 00:17:49,000
that that exterior wall
is airtight
446
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,567
-to block out
all of that freeway noise.
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
447
00:17:51,567 --> 00:17:53,600
[upbeat music]
448
00:18:00,767 --> 00:18:02,266
-Babe.
-What's up?
449
00:18:03,767 --> 00:18:06,567
[Tristyn] We have to offset
how not attractive
the freeway is.
450
00:18:06,567 --> 00:18:08,867
Best way to do that
is to make sure people forget
451
00:18:08,867 --> 00:18:11,667
all the cars
when they walk in.
452
00:18:11,667 --> 00:18:13,900
I want to go
contemporary modern
in this house.
453
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:15,900
Push the border of looks.
454
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,000
Something in wood,
white, gray.
455
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,200
So this, I love.
456
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,967
I'm thinking
kitchen backsplash.
It's marble, geometric.
457
00:18:23,967 --> 00:18:25,300
[Kamohai] This thing is cool.
458
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:28,667
-And then we'll do
a walnut flat panel cabinet.
-[Kamohai] Mm-hmm.
459
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:29,967
[Tristyn] With black hardware.
460
00:18:29,967 --> 00:18:31,467
[Kamohai] Definitely black.
461
00:18:31,467 --> 00:18:34,100
[Tristyn] On the perimeter,
we'll do just a plain
white countertop,
462
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:36,800
and then on the island,
we'll do a gray countertop.
463
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,000
That makes sense to me.
464
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,367
Cabinet throughout the house.
465
00:18:39,367 --> 00:18:42,100
-So envision that
in bathrooms and stuff, too.
-Okay.
466
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:46,500
This for bathroom floors,
both hall and then primary.
467
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:48,467
With that said, hall bath.
468
00:18:48,467 --> 00:18:51,467
Which gray do you like?
469
00:18:51,467 --> 00:18:53,200
-This one.
-Done.
470
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,000
[Tristyn] In the hall bath,
we'll use a white
flat panel cabinet
471
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,166
with the dark floors
that are used
throughout the home.
472
00:18:58,166 --> 00:18:59,767
And then we'll layer in
gray subway
473
00:18:59,767 --> 00:19:02,667
on all three
tub surround walls
just to give it some depth
474
00:19:02,667 --> 00:19:04,867
and tie in the gray
from the kitchen.
475
00:19:04,867 --> 00:19:06,700
In the primary,
476
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,367
we will do the same wood tile
on the floor,
477
00:19:09,367 --> 00:19:12,166
and then we will do
this textured tile
478
00:19:12,166 --> 00:19:14,567
on all three
shower surround walls.
479
00:19:14,567 --> 00:19:15,900
-Vertically stacked.
-Vertically stacked.
480
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:18,367
-We spend
too much time together.
-Jinx.
481
00:19:18,367 --> 00:19:20,700
[Tristyn] So we'll have this
as a cabinet.
482
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:23,300
It's a very neutral palette,
but it still feels elevated.
483
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,400
And then
for the exterior of the house,
484
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,467
body color is this
very dark green.
485
00:19:28,467 --> 00:19:32,000
Trim, we can go
with this creamy
natural white color
486
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,800
and then
for an accent, this...
487
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,567
-[Kamohai] Leather color.
-...leather color.
488
00:19:35,567 --> 00:19:37,000
-I love that.
-I agree.
489
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,166
Finally, for landscaping,
490
00:19:39,166 --> 00:19:41,967
thankfully, the mango tree
hides a good chunk
of the freeway.
491
00:19:41,967 --> 00:19:44,800
We just need to
clear out the back
and add some grass
492
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,367
and decorative tealeaf,
and then we'll extend
the existing patio,
493
00:19:48,367 --> 00:19:49,767
cover the length of the house
494
00:19:49,767 --> 00:19:52,166
to make the outdoor area
much more functional.
495
00:19:52,166 --> 00:19:53,667
-Approved?
-Yeah.
496
00:19:53,667 --> 00:19:54,934
Cool. I'm gonna order that
497
00:19:54,934 --> 00:19:57,166
and then I'll just go
find flooring
and then get the paint.
498
00:19:57,166 --> 00:19:59,166
-Let's get it.
-Done, son.
499
00:19:59,166 --> 00:20:02,266
[upbeat music playing]
500
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:07,367
[Kamohai]
We have tons going on
at the house right now.
501
00:20:07,367 --> 00:20:09,567
The new extended covered Lanai
502
00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:12,367
really helps block
that freeway sightline.
503
00:20:12,367 --> 00:20:14,967
Hopefully, it'll deaden
some of the sound as well.
504
00:20:16,367 --> 00:20:17,600
-What's up, man?
-How you doing, man?
505
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,166
-How are you guys?
-All right. All right. Good.
506
00:20:19,166 --> 00:20:20,567
How's this thing?
Pretty dope, huh?
507
00:20:20,567 --> 00:20:21,667
-Yeah. Nice, man.
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
508
00:20:21,667 --> 00:20:23,400
I just got that repaired.
509
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,567
-It looks
so much better already.
-[Regon] Yeah.
510
00:20:25,567 --> 00:20:27,567
I couldn't even see
down to the fence before.
511
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:29,367
They got a lot done so far.
512
00:20:29,367 --> 00:20:32,100
So, Regon texted me
that we may have an issue
513
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,500
with one of our fruit trees.
514
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,667
Which I'm hoping is not major
515
00:20:36,667 --> 00:20:39,800
because we were hoping
these fruit trees
are gonna help us
516
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,900
with blocking out
the sightline and the noise
from the freeway.
517
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:47,000
And these things can cost
tens of thousands of dollars
to replace.
518
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,400
So what do you got to show me?
519
00:20:52,367 --> 00:20:53,367
[Kamohai] What?
520
00:20:54,867 --> 00:20:56,100
-[Kamohai] Dude...
-[Regon] Yeah.
521
00:21:01,567 --> 00:21:02,567
Bro.
522
00:21:02,567 --> 00:21:05,667
If I have to cut this
tree down, I'm screwed.
523
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,867
Oh, my gosh, you can
see 'em right there.
524
00:21:10,867 --> 00:21:12,000
[Regon speaking]
525
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,767
Bro. I cannot afford
to cut this down.
526
00:21:15,767 --> 00:21:17,800
This tree is like saving us
527
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,667
from this whole freeway
on this side of the yard.
528
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:24,166
Is there an option where
we can save the tree still?
529
00:21:24,166 --> 00:21:25,200
Um...
530
00:21:35,867 --> 00:21:39,266
I don't know how I can try
and convey this to you more.
531
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:42,567
Please, let's save this tree.
532
00:21:42,567 --> 00:21:44,000
Let's do it.
533
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,166
[upbeat music playing]
534
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,567
[Kamohai] I have
the worst luck with
mango trees and termites.
535
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:03,100
-[Regon] That's good for now.
-Doesn't look too bad inside.
536
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:04,700
-[Regon] No, that's good.
-It was just the end, yeah?
537
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:06,333
We'll leave it just like that
and treat it.
538
00:22:06,333 --> 00:22:08,867
-And then you guys can come
back tomorrow and spray.
-Yeah we'll treat it tomorrow.
539
00:22:08,867 --> 00:22:11,567
[Kamohai] In addition to
being expensive,
540
00:22:11,567 --> 00:22:13,700
mature trees
are irreplaceable.
541
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:17,367
We were counting on it
to not only add value
542
00:22:17,367 --> 00:22:18,900
because of
fruit that it bears,
543
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,266
but it's also
deafening the sound
544
00:22:21,266 --> 00:22:23,967
and blocking most of your view
of the freeway.
545
00:22:23,967 --> 00:22:26,100
I appreciate you guys.
Thank you guys so much.
546
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:27,166
Yeah. No problem, man.
547
00:22:27,166 --> 00:22:30,066
We've had to chop down trees
like this before
548
00:22:30,066 --> 00:22:33,367
because of rot,
and it costs us $8,000.
549
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,100
Oh, the guys are jamming.
550
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:41,700
Stopping by gives me a chance
to check out framing
and the new layout.
551
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:46,066
And to make sure
that there's no signs
of active termites anywhere.
552
00:22:46,066 --> 00:22:48,000
Feels really good
in here, man.
553
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,567
Don't see any termites either.

[Kamohai] So now that
Regon and the guys
569
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:13,667
have trimmed
all the affected branches,
570
00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:16,800
they can set the traps,
they can spray the tree,
571
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,467
and we just gotta wait to see
if the tree is gonna heal
572
00:23:20,467 --> 00:23:22,367
and it kills all the termites.
573
00:23:26,066 --> 00:23:27,667
[Tristyn] Work continues
inside the house
574
00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:29,467
with electrical
and plumbing roughing
575
00:23:29,467 --> 00:23:32,266
and we're trenching
for the new laundry placement.
576
00:23:33,667 --> 00:23:35,500
[upbeat music playing]
577
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,800
We're officially past
the halfway point
with only three weeks left
578
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,166
until we need to
finish this project
and list the house.
579
00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:50,767
So, while the exterior
is getting painted
580
00:23:50,767 --> 00:23:54,166
a very deep hunter green,
which I absolutely love...
581
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:56,667
it's always inspired by
nature around us.
582
00:23:56,667 --> 00:23:58,200
Work continues on the inside.
583
00:23:59,467 --> 00:24:03,567
The traffic noise is
definitely our biggest
challenge inside this house.
584
00:24:03,567 --> 00:24:06,000
So we're gonna invest
in the insulation
585
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,567
and make sure
it's installed flawlessly.
586
00:24:08,567 --> 00:24:10,767
No big gaps between it.
587
00:24:10,767 --> 00:24:13,000
Every corner tucked in tight
588
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
and we're also gonna use
a much thicker drywall
589
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,100
that's gonna help
deaden the sound.
590
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,567
[Tristyn] I mean,
it better block it out.
591
00:24:22,567 --> 00:24:23,867
Otherwise, we're screwed
592
00:24:23,867 --> 00:24:26,867
because the highway
is just gonna be an issue
no matter what.

[Tristyn] I'm excited to see
what you brought.

Today, I'm meeting with
my wallpaper
designer friend Laura.
599
00:24:43,867 --> 00:24:47,700
We're doing everything we can
to drown out
all the freeway noise.
600
00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:51,500
But I also want to do
something special inside

to visually entice buyers
right when they walk in.
602
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,367
[Laura] I worked on
a few designs.
603
00:24:56,367 --> 00:24:58,667
-This is a mid-century
modern design.
-Yes.
604
00:24:58,667 --> 00:24:59,900
I love that.
605
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:03,467

this design incorporates
everything Hawaiian.

-Mauna Kea, Ko'olau.
-Yeah.
607
00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:07,967
This is Kukui Nut.
608
00:25:07,967 --> 00:25:09,300
I love this.
609
00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:11,266
[Laura] Okay.
So if there are any plants
610
00:25:11,266 --> 00:25:13,467
that you would like to see
on the walls...
611
00:25:13,467 --> 00:25:15,066
-[Tristyn] Yeah.
-[Laura] I can do
whatever you want.

There's two Noni trees
in the yard.

That's perfect.
I haven't done that yet.

-[Tristyn] Let's do Noni.
-[Laura] I would
love to do that.

00:25:20,767 --> 00:25:23,300
[Tristyn] I love the idea
of incorporating
what's already there.

It's a way to pay respect
to the house.

-[Laura] Right. Right.
-I think this is
the exact finish

make it unique

fall in love with it.

nicely against the white.

would fit in here.

we blocked out that sound.

buy this house.

I'm so scared.
652
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,634
The margins are so slim
on this one, too.

I said it when you first
talked about buying it.
654

I said it when
we were sitting in escrow.

You can make the most
beautiful house ever,

but if it's
in the wrong location,
like, you're screwed.

This is the thing.
We don't want them

00:27:32,967 --> 00:27:36,166
to think about anything
but the design
659
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:38,367
and what's in here
while they're in here.
660
00:27:38,367 --> 00:27:41,300
We can put
bigger trees out there
661
00:27:41,300 --> 00:27:46,400
that will do two things,
block out sound
and also block out view.

Once, like the flooring is
in here to absorb sound,

00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,367
-Yeah.
-I don't know.
665
00:27:53,367 --> 00:27:57,100
Anything thick.
More features inside.
666
00:27:57,100 --> 00:28:00,700
-Whatever we can do
to dull out noise.
-Whatever we can do.
667
00:28:02,166 --> 00:28:03,567
All righty, then.
668
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,367
[upbeat music playing]
669
00:28:12,667 --> 00:28:14,000
[Kamohai]
Now the drywall is done,
670
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,767
the guys are installing
our oak floors.
671
00:28:15,767 --> 00:28:18,667
We're entering the final week
of our renovation.
672
00:28:18,667 --> 00:28:21,266
We spent more money
on high end finishes,
673
00:28:21,266 --> 00:28:23,967
extra plants to deaden
the noise outside.
674
00:28:23,967 --> 00:28:26,867
Money is getting
really tight right now,
675
00:28:26,867 --> 00:28:28,700
and there's so much
left to do.
676
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:30,567
[upbeat music playing]
677
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:43,667
[Tristyn] We need to hurry
and get cabinets
and counters installed ASAP.
678
00:28:45,567 --> 00:28:50,500
So we can move on
to tile, appliances,
fixtures and staging.
679
00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:52,367
[upbeat music
continues playing]
680
00:28:57,367 --> 00:28:58,467
And while they're doing that,
681
00:28:58,467 --> 00:29:00,100
Kamohai and I and the kiddos
682
00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:02,367
are heading out to Waimanalo
to a nursery,
683
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:05,166
to look for trees to help
deaden the freeway noise
684
00:29:05,166 --> 00:29:07,066
and amp up the landscaping.
685
00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:09,300
-Look at this place.
-I know,
it's so pretty back here.
686
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:11,000
[Kamohai] These mountains.
687
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,066
-[Tristyn] All right.
-We need some trees, you guys.
688
00:29:13,066 --> 00:29:16,000
Big trees that are gonna
block out sound.
689
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,867
-[man] Hi there, welcome.
-[Kamohai] Hey.
690
00:29:17,867 --> 00:29:20,300
I mean, these are
what I'm talking about.
691
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:22,967
[man] Yeah, the Eurekas
are a really good plant.
692
00:29:22,967 --> 00:29:25,100
You do need to plant as many
because they're so thick.
693
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:27,600
-And it also blocks sound.
-[Kamohai] Mmm.
694
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,467
I have two sizes, 15-gallon
for $200 and 25 for $300.
695
00:29:32,467 --> 00:29:35,667
-[Kamohai] We'll do seven of
the 25 gallon one.
-[Sandro] Okay. We're good.
696
00:29:35,667 --> 00:29:37,800
-Right on, man.
-Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
697
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,767
Thank you.
698
00:29:38,767 --> 00:29:40,367
You're welcome. Thank you.
699
00:29:40,367 --> 00:29:41,767
[Tristyn]
And there goes our daughter.
700
00:29:41,767 --> 00:29:43,667
-[Vale] Come in.
-[Tristyn] Come in.
701
00:29:43,667 --> 00:29:45,467
[Kamohai]
A tunnel of Eureka Palm.
702
00:29:45,467 --> 00:29:47,767
-[Tristyn] Isn't this cool?
-[Yasiel speaking]
703
00:29:47,767 --> 00:29:49,200
[Tristyn] I want-- [laughs]
704
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,467
-[Tristyn] You want this
to be your house?
-Way too big to fit in there.
705
00:29:51,467 --> 00:29:53,066
[Tristyn] I think we found
a great solution
706
00:29:53,066 --> 00:29:55,100
and we did a little
family excursion.
707
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:57,100
[upbeat music playing]
708
00:30:10,166 --> 00:30:11,667
So, there should be a lot--
709
00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:15,000
I mean, cabinets, countertops,
flooring, tile.
710
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,767
-Babe, massive production
has happened.
-[Kamohai] Wow.
711
00:30:17,767 --> 00:30:20,200
The guys jammed this out.
712
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,300
I do think we went a little
overboard for this area.
713
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:27,166
I'm trying to overcompensate
for the freeway.
714
00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:30,000
[Kamohai] Yeah, but I think
buyers will love it.
715
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,266
-[Kamohai] This backsplash
is amazing.
-[Tristyn] Dope.
716
00:30:33,266 --> 00:30:34,767
It's a classy tile.
717
00:30:34,767 --> 00:30:36,767
[Kamohai] Between everything
we spent on landscaping
718
00:30:36,767 --> 00:30:38,400
and trying to
block out the sound,
719
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,867
everything needs to be done
correctly and fast
720
00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:44,000
so we don't have
another mortgage payment.
721
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,867
And hopefully the mango tree
isn't ma-ke.
722
00:30:46,867 --> 00:30:50,367
Let's check out this primary.
Look at all
the new trees, babe.
723
00:30:50,367 --> 00:30:51,800
The landscaping
looks really nice.
724
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,567
[Kamohai] Like I can't even
see the freeway from in here.
725
00:30:54,567 --> 00:30:57,266
All of those things
that we did paid off
726
00:30:57,266 --> 00:31:00,900
and I don't hear it,
but I was thinking
we could add something
727
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:03,166
that could just kill
that last bit,
728
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:05,867
like some kind of
a water feature.
729
00:31:05,867 --> 00:31:08,667
-[Tristyn] Instead,
your attention goes to that.
-[Kamohai] Right.
730
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:11,600
-And that's normally
a very calming sound.
-Yeah.
731
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:12,767
It would be perfect.
732
00:31:12,767 --> 00:31:14,166
[Kamohai]
We're coming down to the wire,
733
00:31:14,166 --> 00:31:16,500
but it's important
that we use any trick
734
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:18,767
that we have
to help elevate this house.
735
00:31:19,367 --> 00:31:20,567
Talk about fruit.
736
00:31:20,567 --> 00:31:22,166
[Tristyn] Look at
all these mangos, babe.
737
00:31:22,166 --> 00:31:25,066
[Kamohai] We wouldn't
have this much fruit
on the tree if it was dying.
738
00:31:25,066 --> 00:31:29,100
-[Tristyn] Yeah.
-[Kamohai] And all of this
line of plants on that side
739
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:30,166
-is helping.
-[Tristyn] A ton.
740
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:31,667
Chalk it up as a win.
741
00:31:31,667 --> 00:31:34,500
-We can focus
on just finishing the house.
-[Kamohai] Yes.
742
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,467
[upbeat music playing]
743
00:31:45,467 --> 00:31:47,767
[Kamohai] There's only
a few more finishes
to get done
744
00:31:47,767 --> 00:31:49,367
before stagers come tomorrow.
745
00:31:49,367 --> 00:31:51,100
[Tristyn] We've got wallpaper
going in,
746
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,567
appliances and fixtures
also getting installed,
747
00:31:53,567 --> 00:31:56,367
and the landscapers
are jamming
on the exterior as well.
748
00:31:56,367 --> 00:31:57,667
[music concludes]
749
00:32:02,166 --> 00:32:04,100
[whooshes]
750
00:32:07,667 --> 00:32:10,467
Oh, guys.
The furniture is here.
751
00:32:10,467 --> 00:32:12,000
[Kamohai] Let's go.
We gotta get jamming.
752
00:32:14,467 --> 00:32:15,867
So this is it.
753
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:18,800
We have to work
as hard as we can
to get this thing done today.
754
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,467
Our realtor, Jocelyn,
is coming here tomorrow
to look at the house,
755
00:32:22,467 --> 00:32:24,867
and we have to come up
with a plan...
756
00:32:24,867 --> 00:32:26,367
-And price.
-...to get this thing...
757
00:32:26,367 --> 00:32:28,800
and a price, yes,
we can't forget the price,
758
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,567
to get this thing sold
as fast as possible.
759
00:32:31,567 --> 00:32:35,166
[Tristyn] I wanna price it
to sell on whatever comes in.
760
00:32:35,166 --> 00:32:37,900
If they're a qualified
and motivated buyer
761
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:40,900
and we still are walking away,
not losing money,
762
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:42,467
I'm willing to take that
and move on.
763
00:32:42,467 --> 00:32:45,800
Not every deal is a home run,
but a base hit is good, too.
764
00:32:49,266 --> 00:32:50,600
[water splashing]
765
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:53,800
[Kamohai] Babe, check it out.
766
00:32:54,467 --> 00:32:56,166
Oh, my gosh.
It's so peaceful.
767
00:32:56,166 --> 00:32:57,900
-[Kamohai chuckles]
-[Tristyn] What freeway?
768
00:32:57,900 --> 00:32:59,000
[Kamohai] Exactly.
769
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,767
It's only Zen.
Hawaiian Zen.
770
00:33:01,767 --> 00:33:04,567
[dramatic music playing]
771
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:06,934
[Kamohai] Do you like
how it's turning out?
772
00:33:06,934 --> 00:33:09,867
[Tristyn] Yeah. I mean,
when you first showed it
to me,
773
00:33:09,867 --> 00:33:11,367
I did not wanna buy it.
774
00:33:11,367 --> 00:33:14,967
But I can say
that I love what we did.
775
00:33:14,967 --> 00:33:17,467
We went above and beyond
on the design.
776
00:33:17,467 --> 00:33:20,367
We did everything
that we set out to do.
777
00:33:20,367 --> 00:33:24,967
My anxiety right now
is if we'll find a buyer
778
00:33:24,967 --> 00:33:26,767
that can look past
the freeway.
779
00:33:26,767 --> 00:33:29,700
But I still don't know
what the end result
is gonna be.
780
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:31,166
Like, are we gonna make money
on this,
781
00:33:31,166 --> 00:33:33,667
or are we gonna lose money
on this?
782
00:33:33,667 --> 00:33:35,166
[music concludes]
783
00:33:37,166 --> 00:33:39,533
[upbeat music playing]
784
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,700
I know this project
was one of the most
challenging ones
785
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:47,000
that we've had this year.
786
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,700
It took so long.
787
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:50,467
We have a freeway in the back.
788
00:33:50,467 --> 00:33:52,166
There were squatters
in the house.
789
00:33:52,166 --> 00:33:53,800
Somebody's living in here.
790
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,066
Hello?
791
00:33:55,066 --> 00:33:57,266
-Do you remember the chains
on the door?
- Tristyn] Yes.
792
00:33:57,266 --> 00:33:59,667
And then,
the amount of dead cockroaches
over in the house,
793
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:00,700
gross.
794
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:02,467
[Kamohai] There was even
a barbecue grill.
795
00:34:02,467 --> 00:34:04,800
Like they were cooking
in the house.
796
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,367
But from what it was
to what it is,
797
00:34:07,367 --> 00:34:08,400
it's gorgeous.
798
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,467
[Kamohai] It feels so good.
799
00:34:09,467 --> 00:34:11,000
I don't hear a freeway.
800
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,467
[Tristyn] I don't hear
a freeway at all.
801
00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:14,066
I think I want
a water feature.
802
00:34:14,066 --> 00:34:16,867
Maybe I'll always be
less anxious
803
00:34:16,867 --> 00:34:18,166
if we have a water feature.
804
00:34:18,166 --> 00:34:20,467
-I'm all for that.
For sure.
-[both laugh]
805
00:34:20,467 --> 00:34:21,867
[Tristyn] I don't know
what else we could have done.
806
00:34:21,867 --> 00:34:25,000
The pressure is now gonna be
on Jocelyn
807
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,166
-to get this house sold.
-[Tristyn] I know.
808
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:29,166
Well, she should be here
any second.
809
00:34:29,166 --> 00:34:30,767
[Kamohai] Oh, babe.
She's here.
810
00:34:30,767 --> 00:34:32,567
[Tristyn] All right.
811
00:34:32,567 --> 00:34:34,567
-Hi, Joce.
-[Jocelyn] Hey, guys.
812
00:34:34,567 --> 00:34:36,000
Oh, my gosh.
813
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,367
-You like it?
-[Jocelyn] This is so cute.
814
00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:41,767
Jocelyn is the perfect realtor
for this house
815
00:34:41,767 --> 00:34:45,100
because she does
a ton of business
in this neighborhood.
816
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:49,867
It's so important
to find a realtor
well-versed in the area
817
00:34:49,867 --> 00:34:51,367
that your house is.
818
00:34:51,367 --> 00:34:53,066
-Absolutely.
-I can't stress that enough.
819
00:34:53,066 --> 00:34:54,767
It was a no-brainer.
820
00:34:54,767 --> 00:34:56,900
[Jocelyn] I love the pop
with the dark and the light.
821
00:34:56,900 --> 00:34:59,367
[Tristyn] What about
the pop of color on the doors?
822
00:34:59,367 --> 00:35:02,400
-[Jocelyn] Oh, yes.
This rust like your nails?
-[Kamohai and Tristyn] Yeah.
823
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,266
-[laughing] I channel...
-What a great contrast!
824
00:35:05,266 --> 00:35:07,600
[Tristyn] I think
it needed a little pop.
825
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:08,767
[Jocelyn] That is such
a nice touch.
826
00:35:08,767 --> 00:35:09,967
[Kamohai] Just what it needed.
827
00:35:09,967 --> 00:35:12,066
[Jocelyn] Great job
on the curb appeal,
you guys.
828
00:35:12,066 --> 00:35:14,100
Um, but I do say
there is some challenges.
829
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:15,767
-[Tristyn] Yeah.
-I feel the area,
830
00:35:15,767 --> 00:35:18,400
and then, I can, kind of,
hear the freeway.
I know it's in the back.
831
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,967
Probably
our biggest challenge.
832
00:35:19,967 --> 00:35:23,367
We did a lot of things
to try and deaden
that sound.
833
00:35:23,367 --> 00:35:24,867
-So when you walk in...
-Oh! Right.
834
00:35:24,867 --> 00:35:26,066
...you don't hear anything.
835
00:35:26,066 --> 00:35:28,567
[Jocelyn] Yeah.
I wanna see it.
Oh, my gosh. I'm excited.
836
00:35:28,567 --> 00:35:30,567
[Kamohai] There
is two entrances.
837
00:35:30,567 --> 00:35:33,467
There's one
through your carport
and the front door.
838
00:35:33,467 --> 00:35:36,700
We really want people
to walk through this space,
839
00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:38,266
so they get
the full experience.
840
00:35:38,266 --> 00:35:39,300
[Jocelyn] Okay.
841
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,367
Oh, my gosh.
You guys, this wallpaper.
842
00:35:43,367 --> 00:35:44,467
-[Tristyn] Do you like it?
-[Jocelyn] Yes.
843
00:35:44,467 --> 00:35:46,266
-Wow!
-[Tristyn] I feel like
it's a grand entrance.
844
00:35:46,266 --> 00:35:48,500
It is a grand entrance.
845
00:35:50,367 --> 00:35:51,667
Great first impression.
846
00:35:51,667 --> 00:35:53,400
You walk in
through this wallpaper
847
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,367
-and then
you have a waterfall.
-[Tristyn] Right?
848
00:35:56,767 --> 00:35:58,667
-Very soothing. Very warm.
-[Tristyn] Yes.
849
00:35:58,667 --> 00:36:00,300
-Very homey.
-[Kamohai] This is where
850
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:02,800
the distraction
from the freeway begins.
851
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,300
-'Cause I don't even hear it
anymore.
-[Tristyn] You hear nothing.
852
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:06,767
-Not at all. Not at all.
-[Kamohai] Yeah.
853
00:36:06,767 --> 00:36:08,066
-[Tristyn]
Mission accomplished.
-[laughs]
854
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:09,767
And then if you turn around...
855
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:11,500
-[Jocelyn] Okay.
-...the house unfolds.
856
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,767
[Jocelyn] Wow!
857
00:36:15,166 --> 00:36:17,700
Oh, my gosh.
You guys, this kitchen.
858
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:19,166
I love the contrast.
859
00:36:19,166 --> 00:36:21,900
The darker cabinets,
the gray
860
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:23,900
and then, the warmth
of the gold handles.
861
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:25,767
-[Tristyn] The gold
just softens everything up.
-[Jocelyn] It does.
862
00:36:25,767 --> 00:36:28,600
Honestly, you don't see
a lot of kitchens like this
in this neighborhood.
863
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,600
It just feels so luxurious.
864
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,667
[Tristyn] That was our goal.
865
00:36:33,967 --> 00:36:36,100
[Jocelyn] I love it.
Great elevation.
866
00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:37,600
-You guys did a good job.
-[Kamohai] Awesome.
867
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,100
-Yeah.
-And then you made a bar.
868
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:41,200
[Tristyn] It could be
a coffee bar.
It could be...
869
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,467
[Kamohai] A whisky bar.
870
00:36:42,467 --> 00:36:46,100
That's an added feature
that I think
was very, very important.
871
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:48,166
[Jocelyn] Also not common.
872
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:49,867
-[Kamohai] Exactly.
-[Jocelyn] You guys elevated.
873
00:36:49,867 --> 00:36:53,100
[Tristyn] Yeah, and it anchors
the dining area.
874
00:36:54,166 --> 00:36:57,066
Then it flows
into your living room.
875
00:36:57,066 --> 00:36:58,667
[Jocelyn] I love the openness.
876
00:36:58,667 --> 00:36:59,700
I love the color choices,
877
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:02,066
the green tones
with all the brown.
878
00:37:02,066 --> 00:37:03,967
The natural lighting
is really nice.
879
00:37:03,967 --> 00:37:06,400
I mean, it's big already,
but it gives it a more
grand feel.
880
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:07,433
[Tristyn] I agree.
881
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:12,300
Then down this hallway,
you have the hall bath.
882
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:15,266
Very gnarly before.
It's beautiful now.
883
00:37:17,367 --> 00:37:18,767
And then, two bedrooms.
884
00:37:18,767 --> 00:37:21,166
Good size, perfect for kids.
885
00:37:21,166 --> 00:37:23,367
[Jocelyn] Well,
I love that layout.
886
00:37:23,367 --> 00:37:25,867
There's also another bedroom
on this side
887
00:37:25,867 --> 00:37:27,266
-staged as an office.
-[Jocelyn] Oh, office.
888
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,367
...with my head.
Wow, you guys.
889
00:37:30,367 --> 00:37:32,166
[Kamohai] This could easily
be another kid's room.
890
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,433
[Jocelyn] I can, totally,
see that.
891
00:37:36,867 --> 00:37:39,500
[Kamohai] So
you have a primary
right next to the office.
892
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:42,300
Your primary starts here.
893
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:44,667
[Jocelyn] Oh, wow.
894
00:37:44,667 --> 00:37:46,467
I like how you tied in,
kind of, like with the bar.
895
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:48,767
Warm gold tones,
double sinks, too.
896
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:51,967
[Tristyn] Yep.
Matte black fixtures
and then pops of gold.
897
00:37:51,967 --> 00:37:53,166
Practical, functional.
898
00:37:53,166 --> 00:37:54,567
[Tristyn] And luxurious.
899
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,066
And then,
you have your primary bedroom.
900
00:37:59,066 --> 00:38:01,700
Wow, you guys.
I love this space.
901
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:03,166
Look at how much light
is coming through.
902
00:38:03,166 --> 00:38:04,500
[Kamohai] Tons
of natural light.
903
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:06,667
The question is,
do you hear the freeway?
904
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:09,000
I don't. You can't even tell.
905
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,967
Great job 'cause, really,
you can't hear it.
906
00:38:10,967 --> 00:38:12,166
[Tristyn] That's
all I need to know.
907
00:38:12,166 --> 00:38:13,367
[Kamohai] Yeah, that's a win.
908
00:38:13,367 --> 00:38:15,367
[Tristyn] It's really about
the outside now.
909
00:38:15,367 --> 00:38:17,166
-That's where things
get tricky.
-Let's go check it out.
910
00:38:17,166 --> 00:38:18,467
-I guess, we'll see.
-[laughs]
911
00:38:18,467 --> 00:38:22,300
I'm just nervous for her
to actually see the freeway
and be like,
912
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:26,700
"How is she gonna present that
to the potential buyer?"
913
00:38:26,700 --> 00:38:29,567
'Cause, like, I honestly
wouldn't know how to do it.
914
00:38:29,567 --> 00:38:32,000
-That's why I'm not a realtor.
-[chuckles] Facts.
915
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,467
-[Tristyn laughs]
-Wow, guys.
This is huge back here.
916
00:38:35,467 --> 00:38:37,600
[Tristyn] Nice and open,
shaded.
917
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,900
Oh, and I love
this seating space.
918
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:40,467
-[Tristyn] Isn't it great?
-[Jocelyn] Yeah.
919
00:38:40,467 --> 00:38:42,767
[Tristyn] You also can put
a big table.
920
00:38:42,767 --> 00:38:44,567
You can eat outside.
921
00:38:44,567 --> 00:38:46,800
[Kamohai] You have
a full outdoor area.
922
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,166
-[Jocelyn] Yeah.
-[Tristyn] 100%.
923
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:51,166
And two mango trees.
924
00:38:51,166 --> 00:38:52,867
A very fertile mango tree.
925
00:38:52,867 --> 00:38:55,667
[Kamohai] Yes.
It is, actually,
fruiting right now.
926
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:56,867
[cars passing by]
927
00:38:57,467 --> 00:38:58,867
Oh, wait.
928
00:38:58,867 --> 00:39:00,667
-Is that the freeway?
-[Tristyn] It's right there.
929
00:39:00,667 --> 00:39:02,800
-[chuckles softly]
-[Tristyn] It's, literally,
right there.
930
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,667
[Jocelyn] Yeah,
it is really back there.
Wow.
931
00:39:05,667 --> 00:39:07,367
-Is it that bad?
-Actually, honestly,
932
00:39:07,367 --> 00:39:09,266
I mean, I had to duck
to see it.
933
00:39:10,467 --> 00:39:11,867
I commend you
for everything you did
934
00:39:11,867 --> 00:39:13,266
to, kind of,
buffer the sound,
935
00:39:13,266 --> 00:39:14,767
but I got to be honest,
936
00:39:14,767 --> 00:39:16,066
that, for you,
is, kind of, gonna be...
937
00:39:16,066 --> 00:39:17,300
a challenge.
938
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,467
[Tristyn] So
you've seen it all.
939
00:39:20,467 --> 00:39:22,266
-It's beautiful.
-Inside, outside...
940
00:39:22,266 --> 00:39:24,066
-Yes.
-...every nook and cranny.
941
00:39:24,066 --> 00:39:25,266
[Kamohai] From
the very beginning,
942
00:39:25,266 --> 00:39:28,867
-I was always
right at the 1.1 mark.
-Okay.
943
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:30,600
Looking at the comps
in this neighborhood,
944
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,000
there was one
that was, like,
one less bedroom...
945
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,567
-Mmm-hmm.
-...1,400 square feet,
946
00:39:35,567 --> 00:39:37,100
and it also backs
the freeway.
947
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:39,266
1.075. It was upgraded.
948
00:39:39,266 --> 00:39:40,400
It wasn't "elevated".
949
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,467
-[laughs]
-Oh! That one
was just upgraded.
950
00:39:42,467 --> 00:39:44,166
This one is "elevated".
951
00:39:44,166 --> 00:39:45,200
[Kamohai] Yes.
952
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,467
I don't think we can have
one and one together.
953
00:39:47,467 --> 00:39:48,433
I think we have to be
under that.
954
00:39:48,433 --> 00:39:50,667
So I think we can drop it
10,000 from there.
955
00:39:50,667 --> 00:39:52,700
And let's do 1,090,000.
956
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:54,467
That's the highest,
I would say.
957
00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:56,500
Ten grand less.
How do you feel?
958
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:58,600
I wanted to list conservative
959
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,467
and get it off the market
quickly,
960
00:40:00,467 --> 00:40:02,266
so I'm totally cool with that.
961
00:40:02,266 --> 00:40:03,600
-Okay. Let's do it.
-Awesome.
962
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,066
You just got to get it sold.
963
00:40:05,066 --> 00:40:06,767
-Well, we're gonna
get it blessed.
-Yes.
964
00:40:06,767 --> 00:40:08,400
-That's important.
-Then, we're gonna get it
in test run.
965
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,467
Yes. Always blessed.
966
00:40:09,467 --> 00:40:10,700
-[Jocelyn] Always
blessed first.
-[Tristyn] Yeah.
967
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,000
[Kamoa chanting
in other language]
968
00:40:15,467 --> 00:40:16,767
[Kamohai] Watch out, babies.
969
00:40:17,367 --> 00:40:19,100
-Hi, Dad.
-[groans softly]
970
00:40:19,767 --> 00:40:21,367
I like the color
of the house.
971
00:40:21,367 --> 00:40:23,567
-Hi.
-[Tristyn] Oh! I can get you
the color of the house.
972
00:40:23,567 --> 00:40:24,700
[indistinct chatter]
973
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:29,266
[Kamoa chanting
in other language]
974
00:40:29,266 --> 00:40:31,467
-Hey! What's up?
-[Kamohai] What's up?
You made it.
975
00:40:31,467 --> 00:40:33,967
-Thank you for having me.
-[Kamohai] Of course.
976
00:40:33,967 --> 00:40:35,567
I got something for you.
977
00:40:37,467 --> 00:40:39,000
-Ta-da!
-Oh!
978
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,600
[laughing] There you go.
979
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,166
Told you
I would get you a lock back,
and I did.
980
00:40:43,166 --> 00:40:44,200
-Thank you.
-Yeah.
981
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,467
It looks gorgeous.
982
00:40:45,467 --> 00:40:47,266
Yeah. Well, come in.
Come look at it.
983
00:40:47,266 --> 00:40:48,300
It's so candid here.
984
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:49,200
Can you sit right here?
985
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,467
Okay. Hello, everybody.

[Kamohai] Now that we have
a list price,

00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:23,867
and we have a plan
and strategy
with Jocelyn...
995
00:41:23,867 --> 00:41:25,400
[Jocelyn] Hi!
996
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,867
[Kamohai] ...I feel confident
in her ability
to be able to find a buyer
997
00:41:29,867 --> 00:41:31,867
and sell this house quickly.
998
00:41:31,867 --> 00:41:34,166
We just have to get
that right buyer
in the door.
999
00:41:34,166 --> 00:41:37,100
[Jocelyn] Look at our
deluxe kitchen.
1000
00:41:37,100 --> 00:41:39,400
[Kamohai] She's getting
a ton of great feedback.
1001
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,700
[Jocelyn] So your freeway
wouldn't be an issue at all.
1002
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:44,900
It's not too loud.
Even out here,
it's not too loud.
1003
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:48,567
But she's also getting some
not-so-great feedback.

-Sorry.
-Sucks but okay.
1007
00:41:56,266 --> 00:41:58,100
Now it's just a waiting game,
1008
00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:00,266
how good or not good we do.
1009
00:42:00,266 --> 00:42:01,266
What is it listed at?
1010
00:42:01,266 --> 00:42:02,867
[Jocelyn] 1,090,000.
1011
00:42:02,867 --> 00:42:05,066
Wow.
That's a great price for this.
1012
00:42:05,066 --> 00:42:07,967
[Kamohai] So
we bought the house
for 650,000.
1013
00:42:07,967 --> 00:42:11,367
We spent
a little bit more money
on the renovation
1014
00:42:11,367 --> 00:42:16,166
trying to block
the freeway out
at $210,000.
1015
00:42:16,166 --> 00:42:21,367
We're estimating
our holding-selling costs
at $150,000.
1016
00:42:21,367 --> 00:42:24,867
If we sell the property
at 1,090,000,
1017
00:42:24,867 --> 00:42:28,767
we're gonna walk away
with about $75,0000 in profit.
1018
00:42:28,767 --> 00:42:31,767
That's a huge win
to walk away with anything
1019
00:42:31,767 --> 00:42:33,600
when the odds are stacked
against you.
1020
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,367
But now, pouring
all of the energy and love
back into the house,
1021
00:42:37,367 --> 00:42:40,266
like, I think it turned out
really well,
1022
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:43,000
and I'm very proud
that we took it on.
1023
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,266
[Kamohai] It is always a win
to get a family in,
1024
00:42:46,266 --> 00:42:48,000
revitalize the neighborhood
1025
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,800
-and move on for the next.
- Tristyn] Rinse and repeat,
1026
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,266
maybe with less freeway
and less chickens.
1027
00:42:53,266 --> 00:42:55,100
So I'm looking
for a freeway house.
