This is an older house that needs some love but it is not as bad as it may appear on the outside! Yes it needs some paint and other work but many of the systems have already been updated over the years.

My family lived in a tiny house much like this one for 5 years while my folks saved for the next step. We always had a home and my folks never borrowed a dime. They lived through the depression and lived within their means.

Can't wait to see it finished. I don't think it is ugly, it just needs paint or new siding. The lot looks large enough to add on if the new owner wants to.

@investfourmore 12 күн бұрын

Siding really isn't bad

@kimcat7320 11 күн бұрын

@@investfourmore I didn't mean it was in bad condition just that someone may want to put siding on it instead of having to paint every few years.

Actually looks like it could become a solid, simple starter home for a couple or single persons who prefer gaining equity rather than just paying rent.

I peaked at 6' 4" when I was in my 20s, but after 20+ years in the US Military, they wore me down to 6' 1" by the time I retired. This looks like a once much-loved Granny house; may she now rest in peace.

Hi Mr Mark, I live in Louisiana and my house cost 32 ,000$. The house across the street from me just sold for 130$ I just can’t believe that house are so doggone high. You are my favorite person because I believe that you are an honest person. I hope you do well in all your deals. God bless you

@investfourmore 12 күн бұрын

Thank you! One issue here is that a water rap costs $70k. When you have shortage of houses, they all rise up in value until the cost to build is approached. When the cost to build is high prices keep going up.

@courtneyfricke 12 күн бұрын

Hey, I’m in Louisiana too. When did you buy your house? A lot of our prices have gone up due to market conditions in 2021 and the insurance crisis we have been having here for years. We can’t catch a break with storms either so inventory has suffered. Best of luck!

I moved in my house in 1977, but the neighbhood is very nice, no crime, a mall was just built 3 miles away, great schools. The house across the street from me was just bought for 130,000$. Completely redone, fenced in yard, the works. I honestly could not live in those big cities. I don’t have the money. My house is paid for and my note for 30 years was 549$ a month. I guess it depends on where u live. Thank u Jesus for my home

@rebacrow5604 the correct way to put the $ is in front of the price Correct - $130,000.00 Wrong - 130,000.00$

This will be a fast flip. If the side wall window that you mentioned removing in the kitchen is identical to the front window - it would improve the front of the house appearance considerably if you enlarged the front window opening, slide the existing window over a bit, and install the removed window next to the front existing window. Maybe add shutters also. I'd add the pantry also since that structure is already there.

@forfoxsake7972 11 күн бұрын

The children lock up room could be a nice place for a washer and dryer. With the kitchen right there, you would have easy access to water.

@redneckbryon 12 күн бұрын

5:02, what's if you were to enclose this porch to add more square footage to the house. Also, I noticed there's a chimney in the middle of the house, if it's not being used, remove it also. If you guys were in the market of ripping everything out, you could probably add square footage in the attic.

@MsBlackhawk69 11 күн бұрын

Could you put the laundry in that little room off the back door? It looks like it's on the same wall so plumbing shouldn't be an issue. That would give you more space to work with in the kitchen.

@dillon863 11 күн бұрын

I feel like if you move the washer and dryer to the back side in that outside storage room you can make that a laundry room and free up more space in the kitchen.

I used to live in Greeley Colorado. My house is only 690 ft.², it was built in 1900, two bedroom one bath. The layout is much better than this house, however. There is no wasted space. No hallways. I think small houses are great. And you’re right, it should sell very quickly once it’s fixed up. Because people want small houses. And they can afford them much easier.

@shelleyzaragoza2195 12 күн бұрын

Kitchen needs a new layout for sure to make better to work in it. Yes a long hallway to make a two bedroom. The space outside storage with a door add into the kitchen. The basement good for storage for the future owner. Once you get the outside looking amazing for the neighborhood be happy.

@Marliyn-ri5ez 12 күн бұрын

Hello, could you open up that little back porch room and get the laundry out of the kitchen. I think that would help your kitchen. Just a thought. Take Care. Oh I really like this house. With that much land one could have a mini farm, and grow a lot of your own food.

@joywebster2678 12 күн бұрын

As long as there is a linen set up, it doesn't have to be separate space. My husband and I moved around the north of Canada with his policing job, had some older homes where my linen space was inside a walk in closet, worked fine. And we used an outdoor spot on d3xk enclosed to hang big parkas, snow boots since no front closet. And off season clothes.

not a bad house at all, very big yard too, the basement wall that had the paint falling off looked like the block was falling apart that means lots of water against that wall on the outside, it would need to be dug out from the outside and new water barrier and soil, this is great for a single person or a couple and who likes a big yard to entertain .
