Also keep in mind that if you put 10% down and buy a million dollar house, your monthly payment is going to be around $8,000.. which means your income would need to be around $300-400k a year to be able one of these homes. Pretty insane!

great content, Shelby! I loved that we got to see FOUR houses - the normal format for these kinds of tv shows is 3 so I felt like I got a bonus when you mentioned the 4th house :)

Thanks for sharing! I live in the Valley (used to live in North Hollywood during COVID). Although most of the valley has its issues, I feel North Hollywood had the worst. I ended moving to a “better” neighborhood within the valley and I’m glad I did. I wouldn’t recommend buying in NoHo if you want to live there. It’s just not safe. However, the fixer upper is a great investment opportunity because North Hollywood is in high demand. I would recommend Burbank, Studio City, or Sherman Oaks if you must buy in the valley. But even then homes here are in the millions, you may be able to get a townhome in those sides of town though.

House 1# was the starter house I grew up on a tree lined street in east Long Beach, California except it had two bedrooms instead of three in the 1970s. My parents bought it back then for $40,000! No one could afford one in the suburbs today.

What immediately stood out to me were the amount of bedrooms that didn't have actual closets in them. I guess you would either build one in or buy an armoire. I know, it's all about location, but for a million bucks, it's amazing how much you have to compromise.

Also there are studies done that if you live next to a freeway that it can be bad for your health, to breathe in the fumes from the cars constantly. So it's not ideal for a family with children

I live at the northern most part of LA County. A little town called Palmdale and I bought my house for 550,000 4 bedrooms 2 and a half baths single story on about 2500 sq feet house on an 11000 sq foot lot in a gated community on the hills with a beautiful desert view. My sister bought a house earlier this year for about 1 million that’s 6 bedrooms 5 baths 5200 sq foot house on - 1/4 acre lot. Even tho use our area compared to the rest of the country is still expensive your money goes a long way out here. People just think they NEED to live in LA proper but they don’t. It’s less than an hr into the city but when I’m done with LA I have the peaceful desert mountains. I’d you want something more affordable gotta get out of LA proper.

I love these kinds of videos! Actually really liked the third one, that was my taste, although would prefer a bit more sunlight

That’s wild. My first house I bought in Virginia Beach was 2 baths, 3 beds, yard about that size and 2 living rooms, dining room, and kitchen. It was recently flipped when bought so it looked similar to that one. No garage and no basement and bought for $200,000 also pretty close to a freeway. Moved 2 years ago to Michigan and bought a house on 1 acre, 3 beds, 2 and a half baths, finished basement with fireplace, attached garage etc for $175,000 but it needed cosmetic updates which have been fun to diy

A million dollars doesn’t get you much when you’re not a millionaire and this is the exhibition of the prices: look and don’t touch! A two income couple doesn’t have the wherewithal to put a down payment on a family home much less than the monthly mortgage. You used to have to look two to three hours outside the city to find an affordable home but for the love of God and money, even that’s a stretch today.

That third house countertop... is that Empira Black from Caeserstone? Then they must have spent a lot of money on the kitchen. Looks like a custom cabinetry too. I like the third house most but ware house thing is probably a huge disadvantage.

I feel like house #2 is interesting because there’s so much work that needs to be done and it’s been on the market for so long you could definitely offer under asking. But the area and safety is important. I liked #1 the most because #3 wasn’t my style but iltimately #4 was my favorite and I think the best of the options. Yes it might be further away but you get a lot more because of that. No intention to live in CA but watching again because of Shelby 🥰 Great video again, and that b roll 😍

It’s absolutely insane to me houses have gotten that expensive in LA, and it’s not standard practice for people to tear them down to build 4 multi family houses on the same lot. I’m used to New Jersey / outside NYC where that’s exactly what they do. 25ft x 100ft lot, 3 floor, 2 family house with a ground floor garage is the standard construction here. You get a much larger house, usually a 2 family, but a much smaller lot here for that amount of money.

Did you have someone influence you when you started KZread, like another KZreadr or filmmaker?

At this point I wonder how in the world the majority of LA residents are able to afford housing? I guess the medium wage there is well above $5000, that's the only way they would be able to rent let alone get a mortgage.
