Property taxes and renovations would make most mansions less affordable. Not to mention heating and cooling a large place is a waste of money.

Have to be careful of that. My distant cousin bought a huge mansion in Southern California for CHEAP. Two weeks later she was stuck with a $2.3 million cleanup fee. There was a dump that had 100s of buried 55 gallon drums of Toxic chemicals from WWII and as owner she was FORCED to have it removed properly.

She should sue the people who sold it to her for failing to disclose that.

@@carlataylor1125 honestly....I can believe it. I was being harassed by the city for a building I owned that they wanted gone. They said it had asbestos in it, even though I had it tested independently and they found none......the city hired a company who bagged the whole house, wore crazy garb and masks, used a filtration system and had it guarded overnight...charged me like 7k for a 1500 SQ ft empty building.

Our family business is building and we have renovated many homes we use as rentals. The estimated renovation costs of 78k for that 8k home is vastly wrong. We can spend 50-60k just doing update reno work on a house that isn’t at all in that condition. That’s the problem with HGTV as well, it gives people unrealistic ideas of what work can cost or be done. Got to love HGTV……”We are going to blow out this wall, totally re-work the structure, add a wall sized slider that will open the entire back of the house to the outside for $599. We were able to get the slider for free because we found it at a dumpster so that helped keep the cost down. “. 😂😂😂

I. Can pretty much guarantee the house in syracuse is in a bad part of town. I know because I lived there almost my entire life. (50 years +-) The city will need to see your complete plan for renovation as well as confirming that you have the required amount of funds available for the renovation before they will even consider the possibility of selling to you.

​@@joanwood9480 Wow.

I live in Ohio and TRUST ME you don't want any of these houses that's being advertised in Cleveland. They aren't in a good area and you would never make any progress due to thieves and vandalism.

EPOXY COATED REBAR HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A POOR CHOICE IN REBARS. ONE CUT IN THE COATING AND IT STARTS TO RUST OUT AND WEAKEN THE BARS. THEY DON'T USE THEM ANYMORE UNLESS THE COATING IS FULLY INSPECTED AND FIXED BEFORE A POUR.

Great video thanks for the upload keep up the good work much love and respect to you

H i Kyle from Australia i can honestly say that you have lovely old homes in America that in need of love and care and thank you for showing people out side from America theses beautiful homes fro the U.S.A

The Jacksonville one would be a great single family home. Depending on state laws the Historic ones become touchy; One of the showed to have off the shelf replacement windows and with many states those are a big no no for historic houses. Really enjoying this series! Keep Orange Crushing It!

In the hood and not worth the cost

hi Kyle good to hear about the history of the place, s when you do the video, s yes they need to stop tearing them down and fix them up because of the history of the place you guys be safe out there 🙏🙏🙏 they don't make house, s like that anymore ❤️ you guys

The biggest questions should be why were they and why are they still abandoned

I have been enjoying the videos but the MUSIC is making my head hurt. Sorry, just needs some other music, please

Is not good idea to coat rebar they did that on bridges and found when it fails its catastrophic. Might be different for houses.

Florida house, change back to a single home. The last home, very beautiful! Did any of them make the National Historic Register?

Great video. Loved it.

It's always been my dream that I would inherit a beautiful Historic Home; i favored Greek Revival. I was adopted at birth by a single mother in her late 40's in 1969. I've always felt I was born in the wrong century. I came from nothing, I dreamed big. Unfortunately, its never come to pass. So, seeing these magnificent homes just sitting there rotting away, NOT TAKEN CARE OF by their owners, but taken for granted, and sold for the highest bid. Completely utter GREED!!!!

I have heard of horror stories of people who bought bargain properties only to find access issues (landlocked), unseen issues and obscene expenses to being an old building up to city code. Do do diligence when considering these ‘deals.’

WOW, saw one from my hometown, how cool is that!

If I could, I would buy the school house and turn it into a different type of school, similar to Agorà, with a bit Steiner and Montessori too.

Luv your vids Kyle!

Just a question where do you find these properties for these videos?

Enjoyed it very much

While these homes may be a bargain to buy they are NOT a bargain to renovate and heat afterwards!😏

Don't insert houses on the video cover that don't exist inside the video

the first one is in my home city depending the neighborhood it will sit for a while more

These homes generated local economics. Surely there are sustainable ways to preserve the past and create modern development that meets community needs.

The remixed zelda music in the background is cool.

I wish you'd add Indiana homes to these videos. My home state. TN, and Kentucky

I want to know how to find the listings

Theres NO Noise in Illinois thee "s" is silent! Always think Illinoi....

How can you call any home with only 1600 ft of living space a mansion?

it come with ghost inside what a great deal

hey kyle how have you been? long time no see.

Love you my little brother Kyle

These houses are a mess. What a shame I am surprised they didn’t tear them down or even fall down .

At least half these buildings should be leveled.

His narration is hilarious!!! 🤣😂👍

Where located very interested

Loved

You have to be careful of a lot of these deals you can get a steal of a deal or you can get a deal that steals your money some of these properties seem to have historical significance as a result they may be limitations on what you can do with it. 4 most it would be cheaper to just tear it down and do a new construct as a potential buyer you need to investigate thoroughly the history of the land what's buried on it what was there before and the house before you make any purchase

Any house or building I buy to turn into a house HAS to have a lot of land as I DO NOT WANT NEIGHBORS.

I’d struggle to come up with $72m tbh.

Interesting, but that background music is monotonous. Same music on all you videos?

Can afford? You better bring your check book. Renovations Ground Maintenance Heating bill Oil Natural gas Electric Water Yearly taxes Sales taxes Snow removal Any money owed to city

Most of these aren't even remotely considered mansions....

Oh my God , nightmare 🙈🙈 so sorry for those people. 😢💖

Forget abaut it , to fixing and getting alive you have to spend a lot of $$$$$$ more than 100

I'm looking to buy 0ne

Some of the houses are seriously raggedy.

I was looking at the house in Jacksonville. I decided against it because it’s in the hood and not worth the price.

They look creeeeepy. Who died inside them….. like a creepy movie. 😂

Man some of these just need bulldozed done and start over 🤦🏼‍♂️

So, I have some constructive criticism. More photos of the inside of the homes. Also, your voice is over maudulating. It was so loud I just turned the volume down them. I turned the volume off.

285k for a rotting house in the bad area of Cincy? Good luck 😆

Why do people abandon their mansions?

👍🏼

You would have to be out of your damn mind to buy these houses at the asking price.

You think I can afford $72 million?????!!!! Hahaha

Maybe. But could you afford the property taxes after you buy it? Some run TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR!!! Plus utilities every month! Most of these places are NOT energy efficient! I'll pass.

Are you kidding me, ""72 MILLION"" for a small island & an UNFINISHED 3/4 bedroom villa with 43,000 sq ft???? What kind of construction crew takes 10 years to build an unfinished "16th century" flop? Seems like the lady of the house & her late husband had more money than sense.

im sure that first house is hanuted lol

The Thumbnail/splash page mansion is not in the video. This is a click bait practice that turns people off. At least say where and what it is if you are going to use the picture. Clickbait practices gets your channel a bad rep. A shame because there's good content here.

who could afford 72 million. affordable? yea... right. nice clickbait.

I don't want to subscribe. I definitely am not going to join anything. I don't want you calling me for anything! I'll watch what I want when I want Thanks though

Why would anyone want to pay anything for some of these homes? You would have to pay me to take one. Some of these places should be condemned and destroyed.

you are a clickbait
