I don't mind doing it, they are not watching for no reason. Most are interested in doing something similar... sometimes it can be frustrating to see someone else doing what you want to do and on occasion people will criticize in ignorance. If my comments back to them or addressing them in videos like this helps them out of a negative state of mind it's worth it to me. Thanks for watching.

Homemade Home exactly its not many channel that I've came across that shows the ends and outs of flipping a house. They show the process but don't really show the work that goes into. So I think thats why people are requesting that you try and do longer videos with more work, so we can get a better idea of the process

If more people had your positive outlook on life the world would be a much better place! Love the long videos myself!

I understand completely. I bought an 11 rm Victorian and renovated *everything* ... myself! From the basement floor to the cupola to the two story carriage house --- I did it all. You are ALWAYS running into the unexpected surprises and frustrations but the exhilaration in the accomplishments and just plain satisfaction of knowing "Hey! I did that!" is awesome! We're brothers of different mothers!

Having lived in rentals all my life I appreciate seeing someone make improvements with future tenants in mind. A lot of landlords keep slums basically and don't care what their tenants are living in. Whoever moves in can see what went into where they live and that you care about what kind of place they live in. Love the series. And for being an example for other landlords.

Yes! I have lived in so many rental properties. Some were fine and others were just terrible. The last one had major plumbing problems to the point that after one shower everything would back up into the house. The landlord had a guy come out a couple of times to clean out the pipe outside but it always clogged right back up. I literally lived in a house without working plumbing and the landlord never acted like he cared. I love watching Homemade Home and I really appreciate his approach to being a landlord.

He touched on some interesting topics and insights the first part of the video that may help other in doing this kind of work or even something else. He also has a good philosophy and approach to life it seems.

"Even if you don't know how to do something ... well just do it anyway." Just found your videos. I'm really liking them. I like your straightforward style and honest assessments. Here is a similar quote that I've liked for a long time: "Don't let the people who say it cannot be done interrupt the ones who are doing it." Even though I'm a bit older than you, I'm looking to change my lifestyle and work to something more hands-on like I did when I was a teenager. I'm learning a lot from watching. Thanks.

Good deal, I hear you on talking.....it's the whole point of this series. There's already plenty of videos showing how everything is done, framing, plumbing, electric, etc.......people watch on youtube, hgtv, etc.....then are left wondering, How much did that cost? Where did they get there money? Is this all fake? Etc.... I want to show how a regular guy without a ton of money does it and how plans change and develop. Kind of a fly on the wall perspective. Glad you are enjoying them.

You are a much younger me. I bought and rehabbed houses as a hobby and it has paid off well. I looked at it like my friends had boats and vacation cabins and other expensive toys while my money went into these houses. Years later they have all been paid off long ago and the income is great. Those boats and other toys my friends had are long gone. I can't judge the value of your property as you said because only you know the financial part of it.

When you click on the playlist they all play in order. I don't like numbering things because I think people tend to avoid those kinds of videos since they think they have to watch other videos to make sense of any one video. That's why I kind of introduce the project at the beginning of most videos. Thank you

This is almost unbelievable to us in Australia. The cheapest house you can buy here is $75,000 - out in the middle of nowhere, falling down, unrentable.

In a could go back in time/wish type world. I would probably buy and sell houses for the most part and by apartment buildings as rental instead of single family houses. With that said, I'm working toward that. I'm going to sell a few of my houses, maybe this one as well. Keep a few rentals for now and focus on buying, renovating and selling to build up money faster and try to buy an apartment building in the 20 units or so range. That would be one building pulling in the same rent as 20 houses.......kind of a no brainer. Doing the stuff I've done is still valid and it's been a great experience but I feel strongly I can do bigger stuff, which will in turn lead me to doing something bigger than that down the road. Everything is a progression. As for building houses, yes, I would like to do that as well. I just bought my first piece of land without a house on it last week. Thanks.

I've been looking, but I'm not finding anything in the rural area we're interested in for less than $50k and then they would still need a rehab loan (unless you have that much cash, which we don't). I'm convinced that there are deals to be had, but how do you go about finding them?

@homemadehome5575

Hi Sarah, I end up with houses In a bunch of different ways, but all are from just getting out there looking hard and being very open minded about the variables of each situation. Most of my houses where purchased direct from the owners. In every circumstance the house was a problem for the owner for one reason or another, so me showing up solved a problem. Also, the houses Im buying for the most part would be difficult to get a bank to give a loan on, that's good and bad. It means you need to have cash (most of the time) but it also means the owner can't sell to just anyone. They need a cash buyer. I suggest saving $10K - $20K and buying one to fix up, finding them just takes time, then you have to be fairly aggressive with how you approach it. If you are scared to talk with people, make low offers and unwilling to walk away from a deal.....you probably won't get the price range I'm in. Just be patient but get started. Drive around looking for places, etc. Start talking with people, someone may know of something. The only way to do anything is taking the first step, which in this case getting some basic knowledge (which you are doing), then start looking for a place while all along saving up money. Most people can save big just by reducing their spending to a minimum. Life style changes can be temporary, the resulting benefits can last your lifetime. Good luck, feel free to ask questions.

Can't please them all!

Use the old joists for bridging.

Too many nails, lumber is too cheap to slow down. When any wood is especially nice that gets ripped out I use it in furniture or other home items, the rest ends up trash.....not everything can be kept and reused. Thanks.

A couple of your videos have popped up to me. I've been really enjoying watching them. Saved your playlist and can't wait to see the rest.

you're a really smart guy, a humble person and you're doing great. You've inspired me to start saving for my own house!

Love your attitude. I am working my way through all of your videos.

I appreciate the commentary, it adds authenticity and makes it more interesting. Also it can be informative. Thumbs up!

Love your attitude. You can’t please everyone and you totally get that. You make the videos that way YOU want to and if people don’t like them...they can leave

Love watching your videos. A man with skill, common sense and wisdom! Be blessed 😊😊

I like what you do you gave a lot of ideas ever seen one person doing all the remodeling old house I wish back in the day. I been watching all of your episodes.

Classroom setting AMEN. I love hearing your talks. I glean so much info from them. Your lifestyle is what I'm aiming for. Appreciate you being transparent and open.

I'd aim for something better than what I'm doing. What you see me doing now, is something I'm working to improve, if it where 5 years ago and I could see the future, I'd do things a little different, you are just starting so you can use me as an example of what to do and what not to do. My advice is to not get mixed up with projects that are too big or in questionable areas. My first house sucked, awful location. I bought it just because it was cheap. I would have been way better off waiting, saving and buying something better. Real estate is great, but it takes a while for it to start throwing off that magic money, so you need to focus on your normal income too. I wish I would have focused on getting a high income first, then do real estate. Going forward, I'm trying to simplify things by not having to many houses waiting to be renovated. I currently have the one I'm working on, the farm house which is next, another one after that and prepping another to sell. To you that probably sounds cool, but it's not, it's too much to think about, insurances getting cancelled, building permits running up because you where not realistic about timing, storms tearing shingles off, and on and on. I'm going to get all my houses done, rented through a management company, get my income up, then start buying smarter. I'm also going to focus more on buying and selling along with doing wholesale deals. The wholesale deal I did while I was renovating this house made more than I paid for the $12k house and I had maybe 10-15 hours tied up in the deal total. THAT was magic money. Makes what I'm doing now look crazy if I over think it. God speed my friend!

@@homemadehome5575 Thanks again for a well though out reply! The high income point is my main focus this year. We have a child on the way and I'd love to start pulling in much more consistent income. But like you've said, I'm running the balance act of avoiding an 8-5 job and pursuing entrepreneurship. I don't want to be tied to a desk, but man, the consistency of salary and benefits always look tasty. Yet, I would have ZERO time to do ANYTHING extra if I wanted to be a good husband and father once I'm home from work and the real estate itch would be much more difficult to scratch. I most certainly am learning from what you say NOT to do as well. I'm not good with too many irons in the fire, so mine would be to establish my own businesses, eradicate debt (student loans), and then slowly find that up and coming neighborhood and invest in a house to renovate OR be the guy that finds them and wholesales them. Can't wait to read your take on wholesaling. Get that book out quick and I'll be buying! Also, my new favorite term is "magic money". Writing that one down!

You're doing what you love. Who cares what others think.

Thank you for your time and comitment to your speech .

Really love your perspective & commentary on things.
