@@user-md5wo4dk7b . . . there goes the neighborhood.

@@user-md5wo4dk7bokay?

@@user-md5wo4dk7b So it wasn't an abandoned house, just a normal in-use Russian home, right?

Yep. Along with the property taxes....😁👍👍👍

That team did a deep cleanse of the house before rebuilding it.

Yep, I feel the same. That pang of pity you get when you see signs that children lived there... 😢

It looks like they just left the old insulation in place.

gross@@shimesu443

was wondering the same, how did they just leave the old insulation there instead of just replace new one.

@@shimesu443 Perhaps some old insulation. They installed no installation under the floor boards. And of course the new owners have no way of knowing.

@@stephenxu3732 That's what investor-grade means. Cheap lowbrown stuff.

This is not a "high-class" house. The value would also be affected by the locality (which town or city, which area in the town or city).

I loved that they put back the walls and didn't have the kitchen on show from the street door. 😂

Indeed! Great insight🤗

That was a gut job, not a restoration. They pulled up the original hardwood floors and took it back to the studs.

Ummm… everything was new. You must be talking about some other house. Oh I know, the beautifully restored Victorian that retains a lot of the original design elements.

Are you joking? This was not ANY kind of restoration. They made a 1930's/40's house look like it was styled in 2010. AND they ripped out the only remaining original feature .. that stunning pink and black bathroom. I don't think you know what restoration means.

I was always taught that as well , I was taught to use cement board , Purdy etc then seal it with a waterproof membrane. I recently remodeled 2 bathrooms in a 50 yr old home , the 2 bathrooms / shower were roughly 30 years old so I was expecting mold and rot . The contractors had used green board so I was dreading the demolition day . To my surprise not 1 single stud had mold or rot , the green board had just started to have a small area of mold. But considering the age and the heavy use I was expecting much more, the mold was in the same spot where water drips from a shower curtain edges.

@@bobdees6428 maybe I’m behind the times and I’m sure it was a pleasant surprise for you lol. Here in Australia 🇦🇺 the building rules and requirements are very strict with wet areas . Anyway have a wonderful day

where is your video?

@@JM-lw3nx I renovated a number of houses, but I am just too lazy to play with cameras while working, and then I am too tired to play with editing, so I don't have any videos :)

@@JM-lw3nx Ohhh... and I can tell you also why I don't do videos. For having 400,000 views like this video, yt would pay around $3000. Dividing that in the number of hours that is necessary to video and editing, I bet the person probably ends up with around $20 per hour. Simply saying, yt can't afford me. LOL.

Yes I was shocked that they didn’t put the insulation in the ceiling 😮

Also no insulation behind the shower surround. That's not high end workmanship. There was not enough counter space in the kitchen either. Building a closet for the fridge is a big mistake, very limiting for fridge size.😮😮

yes

who knows what's in those walls!

там одного мусора 10 камазов сколько терпения желания 👍💪

Засрать можно всё попробуй так сделать конфетку из говна не каждому дано

That’s a shame. Is there any kind of redevelopment authority where you are?

@@emilyfeagin2673 some have been restored by people who purchased the property, many have been torn down due to the City's fix or flatten policy. The homeless often use them as a place to sleep.

Ev ev değil çöplük yığını olmuş ..

Hbv

40 years ago when I was in college I worked a summer job gutting old brownstones for fehab. I was part of a 8 man crew that would rip out all the old plaster walls. The dust was so thick that it was difficult to see each other. Only when one took off their masks could anyone identify each other because the dust would cake us the same color.

These guys did a great job on this place. I know it happens, but I personally just can’t fathom people ‘living’ in one big garbage dump. Years ago my brother and his girlfriend each sold their houses and bought a house in a very nice neighborhood. They pooled what money they had they got a house that had almost as much garbage as this one. He took video footage of the way the place had looked to prove what it had looked like & how much work they had had to do. The previous owners had even let their dog(s?) defecate in the house. [Or perhaps they weren’t let out or walked and had to go somewhere.] The garage was full of stuff - unopened bottles of booze, huge bottles of pills, examination supplies and equipment. Evidently the guy had been a gynecologist…turned used car salesman. Yikes! The two of them worked like people obsessed to turn the place around. This was on top of their jobs. I wonder how they even had time to sleep. They got through it really fast. Oh, my brother is a perfectionist too. They ended up with a beautiful home.

​@@georgetsokanis3542bet it was fun

'I would have doubled the room sizes ...' and lose the target market. That is a family home in a what looks like a working class neighbourhood and not some big house in a sprawling sub-division.

I agree..and you wouldn't lose the "target market".

Pigs are far cleaner than humans.

How people live in filth is something I just can t get! My Mom always kept a very clean and organized and I’m so glad she raised my sister and me to be also.SHE always told us everything has a place if you use it put it back when you’re d finished . If you do this there no reason for THINGS ALL OVER! Some people are just nasty and lazy sorry to live in filth like some I’ve seen it’s just the truth

They didn't restore the house at all. They gutted it and dumbed it down to 21stC investor grade bland.

FTFO@@pm2886

​@@pm2886 Looks to me like some wise-ass contractor talked the "investor" owner into several thousands of dollars of unnecessary "necessary" demo/replacement. And, then, Home Depot's latest crap strikes again. . . to the tune of many MORE thousands of dollars.

He had at least a 5 man work crew. It's a LOT harder and more time consuming with just one man and one woman. My husband and me have been renovating a house that we inherited and it took us 6 months just to clean it out and gut it. 3 more months in and we just now have the dry wall up and being mudded. And this house is only 600 sq feet!! Or course that includes having to work a regular Mon-Friday job so most of our work is only on the weekends.

Three months, amazingly.

@@dickdavidson3616 Thank you for sharing that transformation. Your dedication and talent is inspiring.

how many contractors did you use for the project? you brought it for 5k but spent im guessing the region of 80-100k putting it right maybe? @@dickdavidson3616

People die.

Could be from squatters or animal infestation. I'm renovating a house that looked almost as bad as this on the inside. Nobody has lived in it since the early 90s. Racoons and squirrels had gotten inside and collapsed all the ceilings and chewed up the wiring. And birds stuffed all sorts of trash everywhere in the walls to make nests out of. It was a chore for sure.

Bad renters all over the place do, unfortunately.

Yeah because the neighborhood doesn't look like you would get a prime price...

... or they know where to cut corners. Often the problem with house flipping is they use the cheapest materials that do not have durability. One thing I noticed was they were skimping on screws. Those drywall and cement boards only had nails on the edges and nothing in the center. You can see they put tape on the edges but no hole screws were visible in the center. This will mean the walls will have movement and for the tiles, that can mean cracking in the grout. I also wouldn't call that house high-end with RTA kitchen cabinets. I would say that the house most likely fits the neighborhood. All said, it still looked like a good house flip (minus what I mentioned about the drywall).

it was sold for $355,000-$55,000 renov cost & acquisition fee = $300,000 Profit...Flipping houses is where the money is.

Yes! The floor coloring is hideous! Gives me communist Russia 70s' vibes. Could have made it a beautiful ash... well to each their own I guess

Agree. Really dislike those red floors. Maybe chosen because they were the cheapest?

FINALLY someone mentions this. Honestly like the worst flooring color they could’ve picked lol

Floors are right out of the 80's. I had to go see the date of this video because I figured it was from years ago. Surprised these are the finishes they chose. As much as they got for this house with the complete Reno, they could have gotten even more if they had someone with good design sense.

And I'm sure their paychecks were super hero sized!! 😄👍👍👍
