So if you want to go on a date with Johnny, just tell him you have an apartment to show.

This guy owns two apartments and one pair of pants. Therefor he realized he needs... another apartment!

Ukraine - a country where hunting for a property turns into a guided tour of Kiev. As Bald and Bankrupt seems to be slowly retiring from KZfaq, your channel is my new home for post Soviet content. Thanks Johnny for your optimism and energy! In a similar situation I would probably turn worried or/and angry.

This was a date, not a looking for a new property vid 🤣

buying a property? I would say it was a long and nice date. and yes ... I, as a Ukrainian, will say that we have big problems with corruption and we are trying to fight it. I personally don’t give bribes to anyone on principle

Corruption strikes again in Ukraine. Oh well, at least you got to meet and spend time with Eva, she seems like a real sweetheart!

Johnny, you need to do more videos with this lady! The camera loves her and she could help you find interesting stuff and translate where needed. Go to the single lady place with her and see what that's all about.

I know a man that wanted a property that the owner wasn’t that enthusiastic about selling. It was on a river. He got himself invited over. He brought a bunch of alcohol and got the owner drunk and got him sign a contract. That guy is in jail for other things now, but it’s best not to be drinking in the midsts of a negotiation

There is a saying in the UK, 'If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is'. Why would a bank sell it so cheaply, when one of their own, could buy it cheaply, and sell it for a quick profit (flip it), probably doubling their money.

This looked more like a date to me. :)

Feeding the client with alcohol is probably the best way to persuade him to buy a property :D

The lady is nice , bring her back ..😁

I can think many worse things to do than spend a day waiting to see an apartment with the beautiful and charming Eva.

So the secret to getting a Ukraine date is to ask to see a bank owned property?

Johnny, I like your new realtor, she seems to be a genuine person. I hope you can find a very good deal and more importantly, find very reliable tenants. Thank you for sharing your nice videos. Please buy some wrangler jeans before you look for a bride in the villages :)

Yep, during the first few years of the war we, volunteers, were buying a regular cars for the guys on the front lines . I like this girl 👧

Wow. I'm really surprised by strong patriotic views of this woman. Haven't expected to hear this speach about the war from her.

Johnny .. I’m sorry to tell , but that cool scarf you are wearing - it’s a traditional men’s belt . 🙃 It’s that wide because people used to have long horseback’s rides , wide belts helps to hold your guts tight and snaggy ..while you are galloping around 😁 It’s actually exactly the same story with wide Mongolian belts .

Suddenly Ukraine looks a lot more beautiful 😍

Loving this channel dude glad Bald got me here!

Johnny FD: has hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank. Only 1 pair of pants and 1 pair of shoes.

Johnny knew it was government property he just wanted to go on a date. She on the other hand wanted to get him drunk and sign a contract, well she tried for 5 hours giving him date experience before eventually giving up and walking away when she realized her client has become aware of what's going on.

think we need more Eva , as Bald would say a hottie

A great Ukrainian lady, thanks for introducing her to us as well. I hope she is safe today.

I never use this word, but she is delightful.

Come on Johnny! Why don't you buy pants and shoes? The other day bought pair of shoes I watched and now saying only got 1 pair of pants. Don't be cheap man

Eva is a charming agent. Keep looking, you will find what you are looking for, sooner ... or much later.

She is very classy. Showing no skin, formal business attire. Yet her amazing figure, and the way she carries herself, make her look spectacular.

Buy it and have Bald, Harold, Simon, and Lyna move in.

Should have gone pants shopping instead

$30 K bribe to Yuriy and then u can buy $50 K apartment )))). Agree about the wine 🍷

I would imagine there were many secret rooms in Soviet Union times.

Pretty sure the "village of brides" is Mykolaiv/Nicolaev, near Odesa. Or was it "city of brides?" Can't remember. Zakarpattia oblast, I heard, is quite traditional. I've been dreaming of buying a small plot of land in Zakarpattia and construct a large, modern and minimalist house in the Carpathians (in Zakarpattia.) Land is dirt cheap and so is construction costs.

The agent was sandbagging the deal for himself or his friend who most likely paid a bribe, oh no....a bribe? Yes, and that happens in the US real estate market as well, (not the bribe but the sandbagging and holding the deal for a "friend")... ask me how I know this!

14:50 It is not an Opel bus. It is soviet van UAZ-452 which has a pretty similar badge to Opel.

Johnny, I’m you’re new follower🙂 really love your positive style! Hope you enjoy in Kyiv!

Eva is awesome! More Eva, please!!!

HOW YOU AFFORD 2 APARTMENTS AND LOOKING AT ANOTHER ONE BUT ONLY OWN ONE PAIR OF PANTS.

Mate, that baguette looks horrible! You should have got the Pho. So cheap over there too. I bet the lovely estate agent enjoyed her day at ‘work’ hanging with the “Mongolian warlord” (Bald’s words, not mine). Keep ‘em coming, Johnny! You’re a top man!

Nemaye "grandmas socks wine" , too bad no apartment view 😕 secret room is most likely a utilities chase for water, electric. vents, sewer for the building 👍😎

I hope you realize that was a date, Johnny.

I'm so glad I met you on the internet man , I wish you the best of luck out there , thank you for the entertainment

20:44 You have surely gotten the clue by now that you've been tricked. Even if they eventually show up, she did not actually ask them to meet earlier. She wanted the day with you. :-)))))))

That dismount of the cart was hilarious. Great video too dude.

What is wrong with you Johnny? You're buying 200k USD worth of apartments and then you don't have clothes? Go to the shop and get new ones instead of repairing an old pair.

Hope you film the second date. She is very nice.

I don’t understand why they were waiting for this person and what is his function? The realtor showed the apartment, and bids for the auction are made online on the website of the state system "Setam". I don't see any corruption here. Anyone can make a guarantee deposit and participate in the auction without any contact with officials.

Nice! In the Kiev it's like Prague in the 1990's, only probably better you have better amenities, restaurants etc. 55,000 now you can't even buy a parking space for that in PRG. Get in while you can. I remember you could buy a whole house (villa) here in Prague for around 60,000USD or 75,000DM back in the early or mid 90's or an aparment like that where you just were for around 20-30,000USD sort of away from the center. But back then foreigners were not allowed to buy unless you were investing in the country, own business employ people etc. Yea, those 50,000USD villas are costing well over 1 million Euros now and those little 30K apartments are fetching 300,000Euros. Enjoy your channel , maybe I'll run into you and Bald here in Prague one day I heard he lives here but still have not seen him. He probably hangs out in Prague 4 near Kacerov, Krc, maybe Haje where you are reminded of Czech's Soviet past. I only get out there once or twice a year when I have visitors and we want to get a little nostalgic for the past. I was just recently in the US for a few months after 6 years. Tried some overpriced Vietnamese in the states. It was nasty. We have way more better Vietnamese food here in Prague, amongst other things. Maybe one day come and check that place out myself. Ukrainian Language does not seem that hard more than half of the spoken language you can already understand if you are fluent in Czech. Russian a bit that goes further east. Děkuju John nice Videos Dude!

Been planning on using Eva Vik when I return to ukraine - was very surprised to see her in this video. Small world!

Thanks for sharing, Johnny. I heard that having a great lawyer to verify documents and credibility is crucial to buying property there. I mentioned my brother's troubles in a different country (three attempted transactions, losing $10,000 in the process, before finally buying a lot to build).

Love your video's but in this one, Eva stole the show! Can we have more of her pls!

謝謝你Johnny! 好有意思，好便宜，我在澳門我是美國人，不知道你看得懂中文，我記得你是台灣人。peace from Macau.

If you don't like "strong" whisky, i.e. peaty flavors, go with a Speyside, i recommend the Aberlour and you have it with lukewarm water. Normally a little cheaper as well.

Probably there is a skeleton in the secret room you never know. Nice one visit her mom this is getting interesting Johnny boy.All you need now is to work on your Ukrainian language it will be a big help. All the best.

The part with Bald and you dressed up with flowers was perfect 😂👏

Do you have any special military operation discounts for these properties by any chance?

Longest date I ever seen haha. She's cute

i am also looking for a property, but in my country (austria) in and around the cities, prices are just crazy :O

Best apartment hunting excursion ever! I mean I would love a date like this to be honest.

Try the Talisker. Best Whisky - the pepper, the salt. 10Yr Talisk is my go to. About £20=£35 p/bottle

DAMN 500$.... HERE IN THE UNITED STATES PEOPLE WANT 500$ JUST TO RENT A ROOM.

The 1st apartment - if its on Tsitadelnaya street, then I know that building; on the main street there used to be a clinic for kids [ I don't know if its still there but 32 years ago, it was the clinic that I was zoned to] and on my grandpa used to live on the 4th floor. Theres also used to be a ZAGS [wedding registry office] nearby and a school also [there was a T-72 tank turret in the school's yard about 30 years ago, some pooped in it 😬 so I didn't dare to climb down in it]. There's also cheap canteen/stolovaya nearby that I believe belongs to some institute, it would be great to see a video review of it.

She seems really nice

Those old cars and tanks are so cool 👏👏👏

So how do the other costs you see in the US work in Kyiv? Like if I bought a condo in the US, you have to also pay property maintenance fees for maintenance of all of the interior spaces (which can be up to $700+ a month in higher end apartment complexes that include pools, gyms, parking valet, concierge services, etc) and property taxes (which can be thousands of dollars a year as well.) How much do you have to pay for building maintenance? Are property taxes even a thing?

When I finally am able to get to Kyiv, I'll have to ask you where your/good rentals are!!! Mostly so I know I'll be in a nice place when I visit.

Of course customer service is atrocious. The sales Chic bears some responsibility for the mess and Johnny should have labeled this video, "Avoid this Bank". Otherwise another great video revealing entrenched soviet business techniques. Quality should be job one, in every aspect!

@19:10 Tsars'ke Selo spotted, I was exactly at the same table inside the restaurant 3weeks ago and they have a very good uzvar ;-)

I would buy it just to make a hole into that secret room

Damn I love such content so much! Thank you Johny, continue your journey in Ukraine! Sadly Bald doesn't upload much nowadays, so I start slowly transferring to your channel) Greetings from Kyiv National University student who lives in a 20dollars/month student dorm xD

😁💛💙 I admit I like the idea of boiling a property in the Ukraine Thanks to you on KZfaq you draw attention to Eva Who I was open to meet and helped me find what I'm looking for But obviously due to circumstances she's not being on KZfaq for a while Just let yourself And I have missed all the valuable information Maybe after Christmas I will get lucky just like you Start a new life start a new beginning Get a property and then get a wife Life moves in mysterious wise sometimes Putin will get his comments at some point in the future And we will all move forward in a new life And a good way of thinking Plus unfortunately there will be lots of happiness and love in the air When the war stops And peace is found

@13:00 Banh Mi restaurant, strange location, in the back alley of some apartment. It is NOT Vietnamese at all, just like Johnny said. Pho is tasteless, like some noodle dip in broth from a can. Real Vietnamese Pho is at Kiev Food Market or Hanh Cafe.

This is so amazing. Come to Philippines, too. We'd like to see you here. Take care!!!

Realtor is very nice and genuine and really cute! Good luck!

Boy ask her what she wants for breakfast

Damn Johnny she likes you, she fixes her hair a lot! Pick up the cues!

Forget about the $55k property. You got to spend the day with the best estate agent in the world. I'd buy a property from Eva any day !

johnny did you get second one or just tour? also you said 55k but video shows 77k whay price is different, anyway i am intrested to find property i requmend yo to be come agent to help people thanks for youre information bro

Девушка стратег и немного алкоголик))Эта встреча не про недвижимость

Some of ya'll act like you didn't see that ring on her finger. Not that it should stop someone from flirting... but I'm thinking she just wanted the free publicity and possibly free dinner... if he paid for it.

She's sweet.

No good idea why anyone would buy property in Ukraine since 2014. They're are so many safer places with equivalent prices that are good to live.

A 10-15$ bottle.of red wine is perfectly fine. Also, I don't understand why so many people choose Scotch over Bourbon. A good 4+ year Bourbon is so much more interesting. And the ladies find the underlying sweet caramel profile much more appealing than the spicy smokiness of scotch, if you can get them to try it. Every girl I've dated past the age of 30 has become a bourbon drinker and it's something to have on common, going to a bar to sip bourbons. None of them liked scotch. I do like scotch I just find bourbon far more interesting.

Johnny, what services did you wind up using when transferring money from the US to Ukraine? Looking for it myself... thanks

Ok, finaly I got it. Dont buy pants, buy property's.

Thats a smart lady

19:57 🤣👌👌👌🍻

the best vine I tried was homemade vine made by my friends in Odessa region. I's sweet and low alcohol.

Hej Johnny Whats this place called with the Ardbeg Whisky???

Johnny FD Ethnic Mongolian in FUSSR. 100% American. He can't even speak Russian worth a dang. We love you Johnny! We're rooting for you back home in the USA.

Johnny great agent give us her information

Take it from someone who has dealt with the shady real estate market in NYC: NEVER wait for anyone. If the seller is interested, serious as a heart attack interested, they will be early or on time. Don't wait again. Reschedule but NEVER waste YOUR time.

is there a weblink to this agents properties in Kiev

You already own two? Did you buy that one in Kharkiv?

Dude as cheap as things are in Ukraine why are these apartments so expensive

14:50 this is not Opel nooooo... Tis is UAZ[U/\Z] tis is millitary soviet van

I wonder why they install the light switch outside the bathroom. In the USA we have it inside the bathroom.

Ohh and there is an Apartment on my street 70square meters like that one in Prague 7 for around a half million bucks, you know if you wanna buy it too! Curbside appeal right smack daddy in between two Parks. If it did'nt already sell. THey kinda sell within a week usually here.

What is the temperature like there now?

Thier government seems to be so messed up..waiting that long is Crazy! At least you had an afternoon with a very nice pretty lady.
