00:00Oh!
00:00Oh!
00:12Hello, ladies.
00:13Hello.
00:14I got another trouble house for you guys.
00:16Yeah, what's this great deal you've found?
00:18Keisha said you'll explain when you got here.
00:20So I got this contractor friend, Jay.
00:23And he has this house that he's been sitting
00:25on for quite some time.
00:26He's busy building other projects for other people.
00:29and he hasn't had the bandwidth to take this one on.
00:31So we thought that we can probably collaborate
00:34and do something together.
00:36So the good news is he already owns the house.
00:38He bought it for $112,000.
00:40Right now he's telling me that the renovation cost
00:42is gonna be around $95,000.
00:44So I'll take out a loan for that.
00:46Well, what sort of split are we looking at with Jay?
00:48So we'll be a little over $200,000 all in.
00:52And when we sell it, we'll split the profits 50-50.
00:55So what's the ARV on this?
00:58About 425.
00:59Ooh.
01:00We're looking at potentially a $200,000 profit
01:03that we get to split.
01:04Ooh, that means there's a design buffer budget.
01:07Here we go.
01:08And the other good news is he already has plans.
01:10So those plans are at the city right now, getting approved.
01:14So once they're approved for permits,
01:16we can probably get this house done in like 60 days, I think.
01:19Well, let's take a look at the project
01:21that you're gonna be working on.
01:22Okay.
01:23See if you like it.
01:24Clearly the roof is caved in.
01:25There's a lot of debris and elements from outside
01:29that have been coming into the house.
01:30I mean, it's messy in pictures, but it's beautiful in numbers.
01:34Yeah, well, I wanted you here especially
01:36because I need you to go look at the house with Domar.
01:38I can't go and look at it.
01:40I've got five other houses I'm working on right now.
01:41Okay.
01:42Sam can walk it as well.
01:43Okay.
01:44She can't do demo, but she'll be there to walk it.
01:46Are you going to do demo?
01:48No.
01:48No?
01:49No.
01:50Okay, well, then it's just my biceps is steel.
01:54So when do you want to go see it?
01:56I mean, ASAP.
01:57Let's go.
01:57Let's do tomorrow.
02:06River Grove is a great area.
02:08I like that the water's right here.
02:09This is very nice, the Hillsborough River.
02:11It's so close to everything.
02:13You just can't go wrong when you're in a neighborhood like this.
02:17The neighborhood of River Grove
02:18is only a 15-minute drive to downtown Tampa.
02:20It's close to the beautiful Hillsborough River
02:23and is only a short drive from great dining and shopping
02:26while still maintaining a family-friendly vibe.
02:28So doing a house like this in that neighborhood,
02:31I'm confident that the house will sell very quickly.
02:35All right, this is the street the house is on.
02:37Look at these trees, right?
02:38So this is the house right here.
02:39Oh, wow.
02:40Oh, my God.
02:42Yeah, it looks way worse in person.
02:45This is zombie house flipping, Tampa.
02:51Now the roof is shot.
02:52Wow.
02:53Everything's boarded up.
02:55Look at this.
02:56This right here, that means code enforcement came by
03:02and either kicked people out that live in the house,
03:04so it's uninhabitable, so you vacated them,
03:06or there were squatters here and they had to kick them out.
03:08Well, front door is locked up.
03:11You can walk around.
03:12That's boarded up.
03:16Isn't this the most zombiest garage you've ever seen?
03:19Look at all the spider webs.
03:21Ugh.
03:22It's like a time capsule.
03:23We got to get rid of all of this stuff.
03:25This is ancient and old, so we need a new air handler.
03:28Yes.
03:29Water heater, electrical,
03:30all of these things just in this space
03:32already have to be upgraded.
03:34Hold on, let me pull it apart.
03:37All right, you guys ready?
03:39This three-bedroom, two-bath,
03:412,147-square-foot single-level zombie
03:44sits on a large overgrown lot in a nice neighborhood.
03:48It can be a great investment if we can overcome
03:50its obvious challenges.
03:54Oh, look.
03:55This is bad in here.
03:56Over here is pretty bad.
03:57It smells like wet in here.
03:59Yeah.
03:59There's holes in the roof.
04:00I mean, 40 years.
04:02All right, so I'm not shocked about this at all
04:04because it's been vacant so long.
04:05Right.
04:06We have a lot of wood rot up here, water damage.
04:10So this roof, as we saw from outside, has to be...
04:13It's gone.
04:14Definitely has to go.
04:15Oh, yeah.
04:15Yeah.
04:15Hopefully, we can save some trusses, though.
04:18This is interesting.
04:19What are these?
04:21I think you can fit.
04:21These look like planters, and this looks like this was an add-on.
04:27After we fix this roof, we need new floors, walls, new everything.
04:33Wow, this kitchen is so vintage.
04:41We got yellow countertops, wooden cabinets.
04:45Look at all the rot.
04:47Like, this is all going to have to go.
04:50Hey, quiet for a second.
04:55You guys hear that?
04:57I hear something.
04:57I hear it.
04:59What is that?
05:00Bats?
05:01Rats?
05:02There's something living up there.
05:04So it looks like the utility basement's over here.
05:07Right.
05:07So we'll have to definitely move that to make this kitchen more functional.
05:11Let's keep an eye out on where we can move that.
05:13Let's look at the living room, because I want to see if we're opening up this wall,
05:16like, what we're actually dealing with once it's opened up.
05:18Okay.
05:22All right, we got to replace all the windows.
05:24Not to mention the flooring.
05:25Actually, we should be gutting everything in here.
05:28I do like when they come through the front door, this wall being down, it's wide open.
05:32So this kitchen needs to look very nice, very high end.
05:37So when bars walk through, it's like, it's a wow moment for them.
05:39Yes, this is kind of a small living room.
05:42So if we add, like, the bar and the seating area, that will connect the spaces better.
05:48Let's check out a bedroom.
05:51Holy cow, Amanda.
05:53Look at that pink and purple.
05:55Look at the freaking hole.
05:56I know, right?
05:58Same story as the rest of the house.
06:00Patch the holes, new flooring, and a paint job.
06:03Okay, next.
06:04Let's go.
06:06Wow.
06:07This is nasty.
06:07Look at this bathroom.
06:09This bathroom's just freaking gross.
06:11Blue toilet, blue sink with beige tile.
06:14I'm assuming we won't keep the tub in here, right?
06:16We'll get rid of it and make a stand up?
06:18Yes.
06:19Let's look at the other room and see what's going on with the bathroom over there.
06:22Okay.
06:25Oh, this one is nasty.
06:28Man.
06:29I love how they took the toilet seat off the toilet and put it, what is that, a bucket?
06:32A bucket.
06:33Oh, my God.
06:34Not open.
06:35Not open.
06:36I'm not even, no.
06:37So a full gut in here, then we'll add some high-end features to make this a more appealing primary suite.
06:44We're going to move away from there because that's nasty.
06:46All right, we're in the primary suite.
06:49Ew, gross floors and sort of a small room, too.
06:53We have a closet there and another closet right there.
06:57Would you make the closet bigger or make the bathroom bigger?
07:00Both.
07:01Yeah.
07:01We're going to combine those spaces.
07:04We're going to enlarge the closet and enlarge the bathroom.
07:07I think we might want to combine both tiny bathrooms into one large bathroom.
07:13Yes, that would be amazing.
07:14Mm-hmm.
07:15But you guys, this is the primary and we've only gone in two bedrooms.
07:17Where is the third bedroom?
07:19I think the back room is considered the third bedroom here.
07:21Are you thinking this should be the...
07:23Dining.
07:24Dining?
07:24Yeah.
07:24Dining room for sure.
07:27This is not a bedroom either, so the only thing left is this bathroom.
07:32Wow.
07:33Oh, my goodness.
07:36Is that water in there?
07:38Okay, guys, I'm having an issue in here already.
07:40If this is the third bedroom, this is tiny and tight feeling in here.
07:45We actually have a lot of space we could utilize.
07:47Can we get a little creative and do something a little bigger back here?
07:50Maybe make this a primary instead of the tiny little one back there?
07:54Oh, and have the two secondary bedrooms over there, primary suite, away from the other two bedrooms.
08:00I like that.
08:01I like separating the primary bedroom away from the other bedroom.
08:04Buyers like that, too.
08:05Yes.
08:05All right, so let me just talk through this to make sure I follow you.
08:09We are standing in what will become the primary bathroom.
08:13That room over there will be the primary bedroom.
08:16That's a huge primary suite.
08:18Yeah, so this becomes the primary suite, the bedroom specifically, and the bathroom back there.
08:24We're going to put a wall up here.
08:25Right.
08:26They'll enter the room through some door that goes in this corner right here.
08:31I love how much space this is going to be for a primary.
08:35Buyers are going to love how big this is.
08:36It's a big space.
08:37Let's make our way out the backyard so we could see what we're working with.
08:41Can we get through over there?
08:42Yeah, let's just go around the house.
08:44Okay.
08:48All right, so it's really overgrown back here.
08:50You got to be careful of snakes and other critters back here.
08:54Whoa, look at this backyard.
08:56It's huge, actually, which is super exciting.
09:04You know, it really feels like we're walking through a zombie apocalypse with all the growth
09:09that's going in here.
09:10Yeah.
09:10Take a look at this.
09:11We can move the washer-dry hookup to over here because that's the door from the kitchen.
09:17Okay.
09:17So we could build this as a utility room but make it an indoor utility space.
09:23And this door can get you outside as well.
09:25I love these big, mature trees.
09:28They're beautiful.
09:29But look at the branches.
09:30We're going to have to do some tree work and yard work back here.
09:32Yeah, let's get a better look at it from the middle of the yard.
09:33As long as you don't kill the trees.
09:37Realistically, they're hanging over the house.
09:39So this becomes a concern because, one, buyers don't like seeing limbs hanging over the house like that.
09:45If any storm or anything comes through and knocks these down,
09:48especially after we replace the roof, that could cost us a whole other roof.
09:51Right.
09:52But either way, this is still a good deal.
09:54All right.
09:55I can't wait to get my design eyes and hands on this.
09:59This is super exciting, guys.
10:00I really like this one.
10:01Yeah.
10:05Jay purchased this house for $112,000 and already had plans and permits approved.
10:10He wants me to provide $95,000 for its renovation.
10:13So I'm going to bring in one of our private lenders to fund this deal for us.
10:17Our goal is to fix this zombie up in 60 days.
10:20Together, our agent fees and closing costs will be about $21,250.
10:25And our loan interest will be around $2,400.
10:28This means the total investment between Jay and I will be $230,650.
10:34Comps in the area are $425,000, giving us a potential profit of $194,350, which we will split with Jay.
10:44This is one zombie that's going to take a lot of work to bring back to life.
10:50We'll begin in the small, rotted, rat-infested kitchen.
10:53Down will go the walls in order to open the space up.
10:56Then in goes a large island for extra seating and storage, as well as brand new cabinets and countertops.
11:02The two bathrooms near our former primary suites and second bedroom are too small to be the sexy luxury we're looking for.
11:09So we're combining them into one large, decadent bathroom with high-end finishes that will catch the eye of any buyer.
11:15Then, say goodbye to those strange brick columns in the rundown Florida room.
11:20Because we're adding a wall and transforming it into a large primary bedroom with its own sexy bathroom,
11:26complete with a corner double vanity, new fixtures, and an opulent shower.
11:37Demo day!
11:38You ready?
11:39I'm ready.
11:40Even though we have a big profit spread on this house, I still want to roll up my sleeves and
11:44get involved in demos so I can be there for any surprises. Our partner Jay is already at the house working.
11:50Hey, they got started early. Jay!
11:53Dolmar, I'm in the garage.
11:56What's up, man?
11:57What's up?
11:58How you doing, bro?
11:58Hey!
11:59Everything good?
12:00Good.
12:01Yeah.
12:01I'm ready again.
12:02How's everything?
12:03Good.
12:03Everything good?
12:03Yeah.
12:04Watch this nail right here.
12:05Okay, yeah.
12:07This is my favorite day.
12:08Mine too.
12:12Woo!
12:13Whoa!
12:14We have no room.
12:15The whole thing came down already.
12:16This is a bunch of nails and we're going to take everything out.
12:20Oh, that's coming.
12:22Look at that.
12:22Easy.
12:23All right.
12:29Yeah, it's gone.
12:42What's up, Amanda?
12:43I can see clearly now.
12:45Look, we got some termite damage here.
12:48Look at all this.
12:50Oh, look at that.
12:50You see it?
12:51Oh, no.
12:53That's not good.
12:59Finding termite damage on top of water damage is not unexpected, but it's certainly disappointing.
13:06While we are going to be removing a lot of wood and drywall from this house,
13:09we want to keep as much as possible to keep our costs low.
13:12Let's hope the water and termite damage doesn't extend too far.
13:15Yeah.
13:15All right.
13:16Let's hit this kitchen.
13:17One, two, three, one.
13:19Hold it.
13:19Yep.
13:20I got the top.
13:21Oh, there we go.
13:22Wow.
13:27There we go.
13:28Woo!
13:32There we go.
13:32Now we're good.
13:33Let's get this out and then we can get out.
13:39Here we go.
13:41You're pulling that way.
13:42We're pulling away.
13:43All right.
13:43One, two, three, four.
13:44There we go.
13:55Once we get the kitchen knocked out, we let the rest of Jay's crew, Finry, take over.
14:01Before we finish clearing out the rest of the house, we need to get rid of the unstable portions
14:05of the roof.
14:07But before we can do that, we need our crew to cut back the trees and branches that have grown out of control
14:12and are hanging too far over the house.
14:18Once they are removed, the team starts removing the damaged portions of the roof.
14:22The shingles are all coming off.
14:23And then the team also takes out any rotten trusses they can find.
14:27The crew also begins removing any damaged drywall and wood.
14:30They're looking for any termite damage and water damage.
14:33But we'll leave anything behind that escape the elements.
14:36Hopefully, when they're done, we have something left.
14:41I was driving with Ethan the other day.
14:47And he was driving through this exact neighborhood with me.
14:50And he was like, Dad, I would have paid more than $10,000 for that house.
14:54I would pay $5,000 for that one.
14:56I'm like, my boy.
15:00Jay's calling.
15:00Hold on one second.
15:02Hey, Jay, what's up, man?
15:03What's up, Pat?
15:06I just got a call from the crew.
15:09Something went down on the property.
15:10I need you guys to come up here.
15:13Okay.
15:14Is it bad?
15:15It sounds, you sound concerned.
15:17I just need you to see.
15:19All right, I'll see you there.
15:20All right, sounds good.
15:21I'll see you soon.
15:23That did not sound good.
15:24He sounded a little serious, but I mean, let's just see what happens.
15:31Sometimes some people can be dramatic for no reason at all.
15:37Okay.
15:38We'll figure it out.
15:46I had to drop Keisha off at another work site first, but now I'm ready for what Jay has in store for me.
15:55Domar.
15:57What, bro, what happened here?
16:00Where's the roof?
16:01Where's the framing?
16:02We're pretty much down to the shell.
16:04That's why I wanted you to come by.
16:06I didn't know we were doing this.
16:08I didn't even know myself.
16:09I thought we were going down to the studs, not down to the brick.
16:12I'm going to show you why it happened this way, and I'll explain everything.
16:16So let's go inside real quick.
16:20Jay, we have no roof.
16:22Apparently, once we started tearing it out, it was just too rotted.
16:25It was too far gone.
16:26There was no other choice.
16:27That's not the only thing we don't have.
16:29There's no steel reinforcement at all in this house.
16:33The only rebar that we have is just the tie beams.
16:37That is all.
16:38This house was built in 1958, and for some reason or another, it wasn't part of the code.
16:42So what does that mean?
16:45That means our budget just went up.
16:47By how much?
16:48At least another $10,000.
16:50For rebar and to fill the blocks?
16:52Well, that's not all.
16:54So what we're doing is we're going to fill the blocks.
16:56We're going to basically put all new rebars across the entire house,
17:01all the exterior walls, every 48 inches.
17:03We have to take out all of the lintel block, remove the tie beam,
17:08and then also add two courses.
17:11And I don't know if you noticed.
17:13Did you look at the back?
17:22Are you kidding me, Jay?
17:25Where's the room?
17:25There was a room back there.
17:26So something else happens.
17:28This whole room fell down?
17:30The bright side is now we're going to go ahead and bring it to the same level of the rest of the
17:35house, and it can be considered heated square footage.
17:39Jay, we have no roof.
17:40That wasn't part of the plan.
17:42At least it's not the plan I knew about.
17:45So we need trust now.
17:47That's another 15 grand.
17:48It's not going to be 15 grand for us because we're going to go ahead and take care of that.
17:53This is the benefit of working with a general contractor.
17:56They can pull deals for you on materials and labor.
18:00If I didn't have Jay, I'd be sunk.
18:03Well, I still might be, but we'll see.
18:05Material and labor is going to be like around $7,800.
18:10All right, I'm trying to do the math in my head.
18:11All right, so $10,000 to put rebar, fill the cells in the block,
18:16$7,000 for the truss, then the roof is probably another 15.
18:21That we knew about, but this $10,000 plus the $7,000 for the truss, that's new.
18:26So that's $17,000 right there.
18:28How much to do this back room to raise it and rebuild the walls?
18:32This demo, $600.
18:34Then we're going to go ahead and do the footing, all brand new footing,
18:39and then all brand new pour for a monolithic slab.
18:41And that's going to be another like maybe like $3,000 with materials.
18:47And then $5,000 for the labor to do all the rebars.
18:52And then once we make sure that it's all done, then we'll go ahead and call in for the pour.
18:58We'll do the pour, and then we have to have another inspection.
19:01And at that point, we can even start thinking about like putting trusses up.
19:05Because until we've done that, like this house is not stable enough.
19:08It can fall apart.
19:13I just counted $20,000 in additional expenses.
19:16Yeah, I hope it's $20,000.
19:19Bro, what does that mean?
19:24I'm going to try to keep it as low as possible.
19:27The budget, if I remember correctly, was supposed to be $19,000 to $95,000.
19:31Now we're talking about $20,000 more than that.
19:33So we're looking at $110,000, $115,000.
19:36Yeah, we're closer to $133,000 at this point.
19:39Just to make sure that we're also covering any miscellaneous stuff that may pop up.
19:42Jay, $133,000 is way more than $20,000.
19:46Remember, we had a lot of margin in the beginning, so.
19:50Yeah, that's why I decided to partner on the deal with them.
19:54It's not looking that sexy anymore.
19:55Yeah.
19:56It's supposed to be a juicy deal, and it's quickly evaporating.
20:00I think in the next couple of days, we're going to go ahead and get all the permits through.
20:04And at that point, we're looking at probably getting done fairly fast.
20:10What does fast mean?
20:12We're looking at probably another 30, 40 days.
20:16Let me get you with Keisha, and we'll start working on the rest of the plan for this house.
20:30So, Ethan, how you been doing in school?
20:33It's been good.
20:34I've been getting a lot of good grades.
20:36We've been learning a bunch of poetry and long division.
20:39Also, P.E.
20:40You like P.E.
20:41So, Dad was really good at P.E.
20:43Hold on, Mom's calling.
20:47Hey, honey.
20:47Hey, Mom.
20:49Listen, Jay just called me.
20:51He told you about how the house had no rebar, right?
20:54Yeah, he said that we're going to have to redo it, and it'll take a little bit of time.
20:58Huh, a little bit of time.
20:59No, this is going to take a lot of extra time.
21:02The city just kicked back the permits because they found out we didn't have rebar,
21:07and now they're saying that the plans weren't accurate.
21:09I mean, we didn't know that the house didn't have rebar
21:11until we demoed the house down to the brick,
21:13and it's not like we presented inaccurate plans intentionally.
21:17Look, babe, it doesn't matter.
21:19Now we're just waiting to give them the new plans
21:21so that we can finally move forward on the house.
21:23Okay, so how long is that going to take?
21:26Maybe around four to five months.
21:27All right.
21:29Well, I guess we have no choice but to move forward with getting the plans updated
21:33and plead with the engineer to move as fast as possible.
21:37All right.
21:37Bye, guys.
21:38Bye.
21:38Bye.
21:40That sucks.
21:41I know.
21:44We try to keep everyone moving as quickly as possible on this house,
21:47but thanks to delays in our permits,
21:49it did add four more months of waiting to our timeline.
21:52That's four more months of interest on the loan I took out to rehab this house.
21:56But thankfully, we can get started now on the block and rebar issues.
22:02Because the block in this house has no rebar and is not up to code,
22:05it all has to come down.
22:07And then Jay's company, Finreit, essentially starts from scratch.
22:11Add in rows and rows of new cylinder blocks and proper rebar to rebuild this home.
22:16That definitely was not in the budget.
22:19With much of the shell of the home in place, we move on to plumbing.
22:22We need to update it to all PVC pipe.
22:25So the team cuts into the cement slab so they can lay down our new main water lines.
22:32With the block and rebar completed, the city has to now go check to make sure that everything was
22:36done up to code. That means more waiting. At this stage, I have racked up $5,000 in interest on the loan I took out to rehab the house,
22:44plus an additional $6,000 to Jay's loan to buy the house.
22:48This all comes out of our profit at the end, but we've got some good news.
22:51We've passed our latest inspections, so now it's time to head out to meet Jay.
22:54Big house on the hills, the other seats is my throne. Yeah, we started from the bottom of my team.
22:59We young, we young, we young, we young, we young, we young, we young.
23:06What's up, Jay?
23:08How are you?
23:10How are you guys doing?
23:11Good, man. You working today?
23:13A lot of work.
23:14This property's been sitting for that long. I mean, to have all these leaves.
23:19Yeah, at least five months, right?
23:20Yeah. All right, let me take this off real quick. I'm going to show you some of the stuff
23:24that Keisha's going to be taking over because, Keisha, you're going to save me.
23:28Oh my goodness.
23:29This has been such a headache for me.
23:31Yeah.
23:32Can you open your hands?
23:34You're going to give it to me?
23:34My headaches.
23:36Oh, thanks. I'll give my headaches to this one.
23:38No, you can keep them.
23:39Let me just kind of show you guys around. Let's see what's the next step.
23:43We did cut out the trenches.
23:45Okay.
23:46The trenches, brand new PVC.
23:49So this is the primary suite here.
23:51Yep.
23:52And then this is the bathroom.
23:54Right. And then we had to do the footers for that as well.
23:57You see a bunch of cutouts?
23:58Yeah.
23:59That way we can see where we were putting the rebars all the way through.
24:02Yeah.
24:02And now we have solid exterior walls.
24:05Let's just thank our lucky stars that now we can get started on this project.
24:09Now that the permits have been approved and you're nearing drawings,
24:11all that stuff is behind us. So now it's like full steam ahead.
24:14What are we looking at in terms of timeline?
24:17I think we have approximately like two months left.
24:19I'll make sure that we call and schedule all the inspections when the time comes.
24:23Then also, once we have walls up, at that point, I'd like to bring Amanda back
24:27and see what her vision is for the design so we can get started there too.
24:30Yeah.
24:31All right. I love it. Full steam ahead now.
24:32Full steam ahead.
24:33Well, I appreciate you, man.
24:35Thank you so much.
24:36I appreciate you.
24:39With the blocks in place and the rebar in the correct spot,
24:42it's time for the cement pour.
24:45This will lock the entire structure of the house and allow us to move on to our next steps,
24:49one of which is the new roof truss.
24:52The truss is the frame of the roof and it's the structure that the new plywood
24:55and eventually the new shingles will be laid over.
25:01Inside the house, we can finally begin to frame out the rooms,
25:03which means it's time to bring Amanda for design.
25:13Man.
25:14Look what I got, Keisha.
25:16Oh my.
25:18Look at this though.
25:19Dang.
25:21We have a house.
25:21You want to see inside?
25:22Yes.
25:27What's up, guys?
25:28Hey.
25:29It doesn't even feel like the same space or house.
25:34Not at all.
25:35Well, right now we're standing in the kitchen.
25:37Right.
25:38So imagine walking through this front door and you just have this big grand kitchen.
25:44Yeah, with a nice big island right here.
25:46Yeah.
25:47The bedrooms are still on this side, so we have two bedrooms over here.
25:50Here's the primary suite.
25:51I like the windows.
25:53It allows a lot of natural light.
25:55This is going to be a really good sized primary bedroom.
25:57And then the bathroom and the closet over here.
26:01Yeah.
26:01Look at how huge this is.
26:03I really, really love this primary bathroom space.
26:08I'm glad we took the patio area and made it the primary bathroom.
26:12I mean, and then look, we've got the closet right here.
26:14Toilet goes where I'm standing.
26:16Yep.
26:16Big shower over there.
26:18Yep.
26:19Dual vanities.
26:20We also built a brand new laundry room.
26:21We brought the laundry inside the house.
26:23Okay.
26:23Let's go take a look.
26:24Nice.
26:25Laundry room right here.
26:27I like that we have a laundry room slash mud room.
26:30Yeah.
26:31Connecting to the outside.
26:32Exactly.
26:32Yep.
26:33Once the drywall comes up, I will come back and remeasure everything.
26:37Cool.
26:37Just to make sure that the kitchen is laid out right.
26:40All right.
26:40Well, let's get out of here.
26:42All right.
26:43Get the guys to continue working.
26:44Cool.
26:47Now that we've got some framing in place inside the house,
26:49we can start installing our windows and doors.
26:54It's also time to put in our new HVAC system.
26:58With the walls open, the team can easily position our new vents throughout the home.
27:02Outside, the underlayment for the roof is going down.
27:07Flash-in is being added and our shingles are being delivered.
27:12Good morning.
27:21What's up?
27:22What's up, guys?
27:23What's up, Domar?
27:24I got you coffee just the way you like it.
27:26What?
27:26Is this?
27:27I got you straight black.
27:28I figured you'd like it like that.
27:29Okay.
27:30So what's going on?
27:30I see they're prepping for stucco.
27:32Yeah, so we're prepping for stucco.
27:34We have literally all of the trim, and we have the J channels at the top for the soffits
27:39just to be ready for the soffits to get installed.
27:41The one thing that's holding us back from doing the stucco is this one little post.
27:45So we cannot afford another delay.
27:51What's the issue with the post?
27:58Because it's an older home, they want to make sure that the footer is actually there or thick
28:03and edges, but we won't have to do a revision.
28:06All we're doing is an RFI, a request for information.
28:08The RFI, is that something the engineer can just write a letter for?
28:11Yes, he's just writing up some details to be able to stamp it and get it submitted.
28:17I see the yard's cleaned up.
28:18Yeah, I just had the skid sear and the backhoe brought out here and cleaned it up.
28:23We still have to sod the front yard and the back.
28:25But, hear me out, we could just do seeding, and we use a lot.
28:31Five bags, I think they cover what, like 250 square feet each?
28:35That never, never works for me.
28:37Every time I've done seeding before, it's never worked.
28:39Yeah.
28:41It's always patchy, like it grows.
28:43How many bags are you using?
28:46One.
28:46Yeah, we said we were going to use five and water every day.
28:49I think it should be good.
28:50I love that.
28:51In terms of cost, I mean, we're talking about a couple hundred bucks if we really do it right,
28:55versus thousands of dollars in sod for the front and the back.
28:58We could try it, and if it doesn't work, then we go to plan B.
29:02Just don't let Domar seed or water it.
29:05Nope, nope, nope.
29:06All right.
29:07I like it.
29:07I like it too.
29:08All right, cool.
29:09Luckily, the city accepted our information about the porch post,
29:14and we can now move forward on getting a coat of stucco on this home.
29:19Back inside, with all the framing in place,
29:21we can add in insulation and drywall throughout this home.
29:25The exterior and interior are getting painted and eye-catching white,
29:28while the bathrooms are getting floor-to-ceiling tile.
29:34We got the samples from Final Touch counters.
29:45They've dropped them off.
29:46That's a lot of samples.
29:47Fifty shades of gray, fifty shades of white.
29:49Right, exactly.
29:51So I'm thinking for the bathrooms and the kitchen to do white.
29:55I like it.
29:57I like it.
29:58What is going on?
30:00Goodness.
30:01I got the hood.
30:02You got the hood.
30:04Yeah, I got the hood.
30:05Oh, okay.
30:05You got the hood on your back.
30:06Seems like it.
30:07You look like Lumberjack Jeff.
30:08What's going on here?
30:09What's up?
30:10Hey.
30:11Oh, nice.
30:12Nice black hood.
30:13Black cabinets.
30:15Yeah.
30:16And that would pop with the white countertops.
30:19Mm-hmm.
30:20What color are you thinking hardware?
30:22Black or gold.
30:23Ooh.
30:24Because we have gold already in the bathrooms.
30:26Yes.
30:27You know, that's going to be beautiful.
30:28Mm-hmm.
30:28I like that.
30:29Flooring.
30:30Flooring is going to be the last thing because we have to acclimate the vinyl.
30:34I don't want the vinyl to contract because it's so hot right now and so humid
30:39that once we turn that AC on, it'll just shrink.
30:42Okay.
30:44Because right now, it's basically going to be expanded.
30:44So I don't want it to shrink.
30:47So we're going to basically turn it on once we get the power release and get all the pretty
30:52much everything, like, pretty much done.
30:54The only thing that's really going to take long is getting that power release.
30:58Yeah.
30:59Um, because, you know, our electric company is probably going to take like 14 to 21 days.
31:06Really?
31:06So.
31:07On the 21-day side.
31:08Yeah.
31:09Mm.
31:10Well, it better be sooner than that because I have a commercial project starting in a few weeks.
31:14And in the meantime, I'll see if maybe I can go down to the, you know, power office and see if
31:23it could help.
31:24Yeah.
31:25Maybe.
31:25Whatever.
31:26All hands on deck.
31:28So floors, cabinets, countertops, electricity, and we're out of here.
31:33Yep.
31:33And we're done.
31:33Okay.
31:34Done.
31:34Speaking of, let's get out of here.
31:36Yeah.
31:36You need to.
31:39The cabinets in power aren't the only things we're waiting on.
31:41We're keeping an eye on our grass seeds, which don't seem to be growing.
31:45I must have cursed them.
31:47So if they don't sprout soon, we're going to have to spend extra money on sod.
31:51Inside, we're still without power.
31:53So our team is installing our white and black kitchen cabinets with battery powered drills.
32:07And we're going to have to get out of here.
32:10Baby girl.
32:12How are you?
32:13This is looking good.
32:14Good.
32:15Yeah.
32:16It's looking really good.
32:18We've got cabinets here in the kitchen, cabinets in the bathroom.
32:21Not quite done, but.
32:23Oh, okay.
32:23I want to see it.
32:24Yeah.
32:26Wow.
32:27This is so nice.
32:29I'm taking it all in.
32:31I can see the vision.
32:32This whole primary suite is going to be magnificent.
32:35Definitely coming to life.
32:36I love it.
32:38But where are all the workers anyway?
32:41What's going on?
32:42Why is no one here working today?
32:44Well, everything is at a standstill right now.
32:47What?
32:49We still don't have power.
32:50We don't have the power release.
32:51We still don't have it yet?
32:52We still don't have it.
32:56Why?
33:00They're backed up.
33:01I've been back and forth on the phone with Jay,
33:03back and forth on the phone with Power Company,
33:05because Jay doesn't want to really move forward with flooring and stuff like that
33:08until we get the power because he's afraid of it, you know, working.
33:12Because this Florida heat, I mean, babe, it's been in the hundreds the past few weeks.
33:16So that's going to delay any and everything that's left to be done in this house.
33:19The cabinets aren't fully installed yet.
33:21The countertops aren't done.
33:22The flooring.
33:23HVAC as well.
33:24We're waiting on the power.
33:27There's quite a few things.
33:29And we don't want to just have the guys come and just do this little one thing at a time,
33:33because time is money, right?
33:34So how much time do we have left?
33:35Like, when will they get here?
33:3714 days.
33:3814 days?
33:40Yeah.
33:40Keisha, that's half a month.
33:42Yeah.
33:4214 days.
33:43And then once that happens, then we can move forward with everything else.
33:49Do you realize the financial impact on two weeks?
33:52Oh, I do.
33:53There's nothing else we can do right now but just continue to stay on top of them and make sure
33:58that they at least make that deadline and they can get out here in those 14 days.
34:02All right.
34:02Well, in the meantime, can we at least make sure everything's ordered?
34:05The fixtures, the handles, everything, so...
34:07Yeah, everything's already here.
34:08So we've got fixtures, fans, all of that stuff has already been ordered and has already been delivered.
34:12All right.
34:13We're going to have the guys come and put everything in all at once.
34:16Well, let's get out of here.
34:17I can't even imagine the guys working in these conditions.
34:19Look at this.
34:20I can't even breathe.
34:21You're glistening, babe.
34:22You're glistening.
34:22I know.
34:27After a lot of pleating, we finally got the power back on.
34:31This means Final Touch can install our white quartz kitchen countertops and vanity countertops.
34:36With the AC on and our floors acclimated to the temperature inside,
34:40we can finally install our oak-colored LVP flooring throughout the house.
34:46Outside, we're putting in a brand-new dark-round garage door,
34:49which will create a great contrast against the home's white exterior.
34:54Sadly, our grass seeds did not make it.
34:56So we're bringing in D&J lawn services to lay down a brand-new saw.
35:03With all of our work done, it's now up to step-by-stage to make this place look and feel like a home.
35:09They're using light and neutral colors to keep the house bright and open, so they can really emphasize our new higher ceilings and open floor plan.
35:16We're counting on their expertise to bring in a buyer to help us recover from our five-month delay.
35:22All right.
35:36Hey, Jay.
35:37What's up, guys?
35:38What's up, bro?
35:38How you doing?
35:39How are you?
35:39Good.
35:40I'm doing pretty good, man.
35:41Good to see you.
35:42Can't complain.
35:42Nice.
35:43Especially now, all right?
35:44Oh, my goodness.
35:45Look at this house, though.
35:46All right, let's take a look.
35:47Remember before, all the windows were boarded up, the front door was boarded up,
35:50and there was a notice to vacate sticker on the front door.
35:53There was.
35:53The garage was the only way we could enter the house.
35:56If you look at this place now, it's a completely new house.
36:00I mean, we have beautiful landscaping here.
36:02I love the color, and it's got this modern vibe.
36:05One of the biggest things that was done here was taking the entire roof system off,
36:09adding two-course of block to raise the walls, and now it allows it to look very different than
36:14any other house in the area.
36:15Windows, doors, lighting.
36:17The garage door.
36:18Everything is brand new, top to bottom.
36:22So, Jay, I want to see inside, man.
36:24I'm anxious.
36:25Let's go.
36:25I'm anxious, too.
36:26Wait until you see it.
36:30After you.
36:31Oh, my goodness.
36:33Wow.
36:35Amazing, right?
36:40Oh, my goodness.
36:41Are you impressed?
36:42I just remember when we first came here, we couldn't come through this front door,
36:48because it was blocked off.
36:49Completely blocked.
36:49And then we walked into this really tiny room that was just claustrophobic.
36:54Remember, there was this wall right here that was separating the kitchen from the living room,
36:58so it made this living room really small.
37:01I really love this openness right here, and also the new floors, the new windows,
37:06the can lights, the raised ceilings, and the staging.
37:11I want to see the kitchen, though.
37:13One of the biggest things I remember in this kitchen was the big, massive gaping hole that
37:18was here.
37:19And then we had the old, rotted cabinets right here, yellow Formica countertops.
37:24Look at this kitchen now, though.
37:26We've got this big, beautiful island.
37:29This looks really good.
37:30Final Touch really came through with these nice quartz counters.
37:32I think you guys made a really nice selection.
37:34Brand new cabinets.
37:35I mean, look at how sleek these things are.
37:37And cabinet select came through.
37:40Look at this range hood, though.
37:43Talk about a statement piece.
37:44When you first walk in, bam.
37:46Well, as much as I love the kitchen, I want to see the rest of the house.
37:49Okay.
37:49All right, let's go.
37:51This room was so nasty.
37:54And there's a hole right here, also.
37:57This is nice.
37:58This is a brand new room.
38:00We've got new window.
38:02We've got new flooring, new paint.
38:05I want to see the other bedroom, see what that looks like.
38:07Oh, yeah.
38:08Let's do it.
38:10Just like the rest of the house, these windows were broken, boarded up.
38:14This room was disgusting from floor to ceiling, the walls.
38:17It was just, again, nasty.
38:20But now, look at it.
38:23Brand new paint, beautiful flooring.
38:26We have a new fan here.
38:28And these two new windows, it just really opens up the space and it brightens it.
38:32Yeah.
38:34Let's go check out the bathroom because I don't know if you guys remember, there was two bathrooms.
38:38Let's go check it out real quick.
38:40Yeah.
38:41This was two bathrooms separated by a wall right here.
38:45And then I remember when I walked into this one, there was a toilet and then a bucket next to the toilet.
38:53And I remember this shower in this bathroom was also really tiny.
38:57You'd have to basically shower sideways.
39:00I think it was a really good idea for us to take down this wall and make it just one big bathroom instead.
39:05I agree.
39:06And look at the shower now.
39:07I mean, we replaced everything.
39:10We have a brand new vanity.
39:11I mean, look at the mirror and the lighting.
39:14I mean, everything is just exquisite.
39:17And last but not least, let's go see the primary.
39:19Let's do it.
39:21After you.
39:25This entire room was the Florida room.
39:28This room had all panel walls.
39:30The roof was also kinged in here.
39:32So this was a really bad room.
39:34But now,
39:35it's big, bright open.
39:38We've got this beautiful tray ceiling.
39:40Yeah.
39:41Nice fan.
39:42I mean, we replaced the flooring.
39:44But did you see the bathroom?
39:46We have a primary bathroom over there that was not here before.
39:49I've been anxious to see this room.
39:51Yeah.
39:52Do you remember there was like this tarp on the ceiling?
39:57And it was so wet and gross.
40:00Come on, baby.
40:01This was an amazing decision to put this bathroom here.
40:05And then we've got the closet right next door.
40:07I mean, it just looks super grand.
40:09It really does.
40:10From the new tile on the floors, tiling almost all the walls.
40:15Oh, yeah.
40:16I love that shower.
40:17I think we're going to have a flock of people coming to this house just to see it.
40:21Yeah.
40:22And when they see it, get those checkbooks out.
40:25Get the checkbook.
40:26Speaking of checkbooks, let's go talk numbers.
40:28Yeah.
40:29We got to get this thing listed.
40:40Oh, I can't wait.
40:42I mean, Compton's area been moving and shaking, so.
40:45They've definitely gone up.
40:46I mean, it's exciting.
40:48Well, this is going to be a nice split for us.
40:49Yeah.
40:50It's good working with you, man.
40:51All right.
40:52Let's get this house listed and sold.
40:55I'll see you at the closing table.
40:56You will see me there.
40:58Oh, my gosh.
40:58This house is absolutely unrecognizable now.
41:02Based on Compton's area, we're listing it for $450,000.
41:07Jay bought this house for $112,000.
41:09After the unexpected cost of basically rebuilding this house,
41:13our renovation budget jumped to $135,000.
41:16Our agent fees and closing costs will be around $22,500.
41:20With our combined investments, loan interest will come in around $11,000.
41:24That brings our total investment to $280,500.
41:29But if we can get our asking price of $450,000, we stand to make a profit of $169,500.
41:37I think that we need to go to dinner.
41:42We should celebrate.
41:43I like that idea.
41:44Where do you guys want to go?
41:45Uh, I know.
41:47We should get some pizza, and then we should put some burgers on top, get some fries, put it on top.
41:54Yeah, we're getting dinner, not our final meal, Ethan.
41:58Like, let's think.
41:59We need something nicer, guys.
42:01We're celebrating.
42:02How about some, like, lobster?
42:03How about a nice, you know, bolognese red wine?
42:06I can't do that.
42:08I'm not supposed to drink wine.
42:09Exactly.
42:10Oh, my God.
42:10We should get hibachi.
42:12I think hibachi sounds good.
42:14Yeah, because the lobster, Ethan was talking about steak.
42:17Your kids are expensive.
42:18Not my kids.
42:20Uh, sir, I think they take after you.
42:23We're going to have to flip a lot more houses to keep up with this expense back here.
42:26I'm starving.
