$12K CASH HOUSE!!!! - Getting Closer - #27

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

MY BOOK! - www.thehomesteadcraftsman.com/...
Renovating this house, while slow, has been a fun project. My goal to keep it as rental property that will generate passive income or flip the house and sell it for profit gets closer every day. I paid cash for this house, just a little under $12,000. My recent book lays out how. I'm currently working on the outside, getting things ready to have the power restored as well as installing shingles very soon. To do that I had to remove a bunch of scrappy trees, rehang the SE cable and nail down some drip edge. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. A thumbs up and sharing the video will be much appreciated as well.

    I just finished watching the entire playlist up until this point and it's fascinating to see how vastly different houses are built where you live as opposed to where I live. It's so much simpler, easier to work and cheaper where you live! Keep up the great work!

    This is just one house, the US has houses built in every way you can build a house.......from shacks like this to everything else. But yes, we have the leeway that many other places do not.

    I would be so scared to rent a home that I spent so much hard work on. All four of my tenents trashed the hell out of my rental property. I ended up selling. It wasn't worth the 200 extra a month after mortgage payment because at the end of the year I had to put triple the amount back in just to fix the mess. No more rentals for me.

    I really love all of your videos! In a time where people buy everything pre-made or done for them, I much prefer doing things myself. I love learning about renovating and home improvement. I used to help my dad with all his building adventures. I even helped him build his airplane when I was 11. I just love working with my hands.

    I've been watching a bunch of roofing videos lately and the latest thing I've seen is to leave a 1/2'' space between the drip edge and fascia/gable board, the reason everyone has claimed is the surface tension of the water following the drip edge around the "edge" and soaking the fascia board. They actually showed it, and how it worked, and it made a huge difference. I never would have believed it cause I'm the one who used to jam the the drip edge against the fascia board ! It works !! Awesome job and new sub !

    I wondered if the weather was the reason for a delay in another video, I know it can delay projects and it seems it's what happened. I was glad you gave a full roof update including your decision to do the ridge vent for ventilation. With shingles off and such a small and simple roof it had seemed a good idea to me a video or so back. Thank you for the update, coming along great. I won't lecture you about the snow on the roof..lol

    I am an old man,48, and I agree. He refuses to even give an initial like "J" or "C". So I just call him "Homey" (homestead, this and that). Not just handy and smart, he is a genius and hard working. He is like "This Old House", minus all the yuppie B.S., ego, and sponsors. When he was sheathing the roof, I thought for sure he would put the ridge vent in, but he taught me a lesson. He is working by himself and he posts as he gets the work done. People were making fun of how he was dressed, "What if you got hurt and had to got to the hospital looking like that?", whereas I thought he looked like a Santa elf. But don't let him fool you, see the vid where he loads his truck up with a 4 foot caliper tree by himself, like it's toothpicks.

    Looks like you are making great progress. Just one suggestion from a retired electrical utility guy that you may want to consider. I note that you have used what we referred to as an "emily knob" for the utility to support it service wire for your electrical connection, many utilities no longer allow that type of connection as if a tree falls on the service conductor it rips the emily knob off the house and does damage to the building and allows the conductors to drop to an unsafe height. What is now the generally accepted method is to use what is called a "thru bolt clevis" that will support he breaking strength of the service conductor and preserve the building envelope. The cost is a little more as it requires you to anchor the service support into more building structure but it will be better in the long term. Thanks for posting your videos, I always look forward to the notifications from you, take care and all the best!

    Christina Perez, try this as a google search "secondary dead end clevis" these are attached to the building with a galvanized bolt of sufficient length to go through the wall of the building with a bolt and large washer on the inside to support the conductors. There are many different styles in use and almost any will work, you local electrical supply outlets should be able to help you out.

    @jgren40486 жыл бұрын

    I realize that you are already done with it, but as an electrical contractor who makes repairs on rusted out services, I felt that I should at least warn you about how you made your drip loop. The NEC, or National Electrical Code requires that the weather head be at least 6 inches ABOVE the insulated point of attachment for the overhead. The reason for it is that water or rain will follow the bare wire down INSIDE of the SEU jacket and act like a straw funneling the water directly inside your meter, and possibly directly onto the breakers. While the water usually won't shock anyone, it will rust things and can cause problems with circuits not shutting off when they are supposed to. When I make up my weatherhead, I install a sealant to the bare wires where they actually enter the SEU jacket to stop this siphoning of water. But really this doesn't need to be done if the wheather head is above the point of attachment. Thank you for posting your videos, I happen to enjoy them. I like that you're not afraid to tackle anything, but instead take a practical look at what you should be doing yourself versus hiring.

I do not have the craftsman skills like you have but plan to buy real estate in the future to rent out/sell houses. What advice would you give someone looking to get into this market but doesn't have all the craftsman know how that you have?

  • @homemadehome5575

    @homemadehome5575

    6 жыл бұрын

    My first self serving advice would be to get my ebook- www.thehomesteadcraftsman.com/p/cheap-houses.html I would also tell you that you have to know yourself. Are you a person that follows through with things? Are you accident prone? Are you handy? Etc. If you are an average fella that is apt to learn semi quickly, then I say save your money and buy something cheap and learn as you go....that's what I did. That is if you want to buy cheap houses that need renovations to either be rented or sold. The future old man version of myself would say make as much money as fast as possible so that you don't waste your life chasing a dollar. Money is important and without it you can end up in many different pickles but if you can find a lucrative area to profit in that you enjoy, go for it. You could also be patient, get a job that pays well and finance it all with a plan to flip it quickly, just rely on the high paid job and good credit and use money to make money instead of what I'm doing. My plan is to build up a small fortune doing what I'm doing and then focus my time on finding deals and not as much on doing the renovations, hiring out others, like the roofer I'm using to do work for me. Within reason, time is worth far more than money, so If I can complete a deal faster, I've made much more money. I also enjoy making these videos and they make money as well, so for me it all balances out as far as making money and having fun.

    Agreed, but in this case, I would have had to replace the SE cable in and out as well as conduit. If I did everything in this house that would be "best" I could easily double the cost. In the end, I'm going for a generally clean and functional house and no matter what will be far from what it started out as and by far the nicest house on the street. I'm looking to avoid the time and cost. Thanks for the thoughts, they are all going in the memory banks for future projects.

    How much of the surrounding area is part of the land that comes with the house? From what i can see from your videos it seems the surrounding area is a trailer park. Is this correct? Is this the only "real" house in the immediate area or is there more of these cinderblock constructions nearby? Just curious as to what sort of location this is and if it being completely alone in the middle of a trailerpark with no real land to speak of might be part of the reason it cost what it did (not trying to be a troll here, just trying to get an understanding of the house and its surroundings).

  • @homemadehome5575

    @homemadehome5575

    I don't take that as trolling, it is not a trailer park, but it is a street with mostly trailers on it along with a few houses. It's not a high dollar area, but it is in a good location to the surrounding area. It would make a great rental and probably just a modest profit if sold. The house does not have much land, but the person who buys it won't care, that's the great thing about selling a house, you only have to find one person, you don't have to convince everyone.

    You mean what we would call "a yard"? ("garden" to us means like a rows of vegetables). Since he is emphasizing low maintenance throughout, my guess is that he will just improve the grass a little. Landscaping per se tends to be expensive here in the U.S. as well. Plus that is a rural area and a manicured landscape wouldn't be as appreciated there as it would be in most of the world. It's about noon here and so he is working, I bet he replies to us later on.

    Yeah, Big Dan. This guy, (I call him Homey just because he won't even give a fictions first name) he has an fine art background and understands design as well. That is evident to me with his furniture making, but why he decided to paint a block house the same color as concrete I think is a misjudgement. I would have gone with a pale yellow, that would have made it look bigger as well. You have to remember where this house is. Not that great of a neighborhood and rural. Those kind of people would appreciate a porch/deck thing, but not a very well articulated landscape plan as it would in suburbia, where landscaping really does pay off. I bet he puts shutters on the windows and maybe a couple of window boxes just to improve "curb appeal". He is like This Old House, before they got to be such celebrities and got stuck on themselves AND started to push product. I admire and am entertained by this guy, since he makes due with what he has. He is just amazing.
