He Bought a BRAND NEW House and It's Junk! 

ForANewHeart Mao? Stalin or even Hitler as a cuss word rather than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as one?

Inspectors these days are pretty much shit! Chris is probably more attentive to issues than an inspector, doing the job as if it's a side job for them.

@@digilogic1812it all depends on the inspectors you hire. Got to find the right one that will speak up and defend the homeowner not the builder. On top of that, there is also an asset valuation of the property to make a final decision whether the price is fair or not.

​@digilogic1812 no they're not you jist need to find a good one. It's like every profession there's good people that care about their job and people that jist do it for a check.

You don't want me singing final paperwork. 😂

I bought a house back in 08. Same hype now. Good luck. Every 15 years a recession

The team of people in charge of this new development are faking until they make it for sure. 😂

It’s a tract home what do you expect? He’s probably not paying top dollar for this house. Look at the bathroom mirrors, and the counters and quality of the fixtures. It’s bottom of the barrel. For a rental home it’s perfect though. Ryan is very valid on his expectations for quality but at the same time we need to come to reality and realize this isn’t a custom build high budget home. Construction isn’t perfect unless you have lots of time and money.

@@daaneel Not looking for perfection here, but the level of lazy building on relatively easy parts of the outside finish would make me worry about what they skimped on the inside, behind the walls. I've seen plenty of track homes that had some basic level of quality control, this is easily the lowest I've seen and I'm sure there are plenty of details missed on camera. Not looking for custom build, just competent build to the budget, this is clearly below that. Not wiping the grout before it sets, I mean come on?

@@gpaje I mean most of the issues they pointed out were mostly cosmetic…..like not wiping the grout, imperfections in the concrete surface, the rough and warped lumber. Like the sales lady said, structurally there wasn’t anything wrong. Especially when they were throwing a fit over the front patio. That was embarrassing to watch. Champagne taste but with a beer budget. I didn’t see anything fundamentally built incorrectly, except maybe the block walls. But who knows, maybe that’s how it’s specced to be. They probably used cheap stuff behind the walls too. But again, you get what you pay for. Buying a cheap house in Arizona thinking you’re getting a deal. No, you’re gonna get a cheap house that was built as quickly as possible. And that’s why it’s cheap. You want someone to take their time and care about all the details then don’t buy a literal bottom budget starter tract home

@daaneel sure, I don't disagree with that, but like you said it's very minor stuff, should have been fixed before release? The fact that it's easy to fix doesn't mean you can't point it out and ask for it to be fixed right?

the builder of those homes is notorious for mediocre quality here

No, the quality on all of this builder’s homes is lacking.

I suppose it could be a GF circuit with a GF breaker on the box?

@@TheElectronMan Do a little more research buddy; that is not a swamp cooler.

If I got a house in Arizona, I'd go for the Trane Precedent RTU since it's a more aesthetically pleasing RTU and has easy access panels so I can easily clean the evaporator coils.

It’s insanely hot in the attic.

HVAC stands for ""Heating, Venting, Air Conditioning" .Its not a type of system, it's an entire industry. You must be new to the trade

@@mikeorosco4787 that’s not what HVAC stands for smart guy. It’s VENTILATION not “venting”.

if you buy cheap yeah. We didn't buy cheap.

It's Arizona. Labor has been taken over for the cheaper and we all know why. All the real contractors have been taken over by cheap labor. People are now getting cheaply built homes for expensive amounts of money.

@@ravemaster7405 yep, all of the labor has been replaced by illegal day laborers or even legal people who have never had proper training in contracting. Meanwhile, prices continue to increase for new homes. It’s so sad. My sons (and other Gen Z) have pretty much resigned themselves to the fact that they may never be homeowners.

You aren’t wrong. It’s one thing if they planned to stucco these walls, but nope. They walked away from that satisfied that they did a good job

@@DMAXRYNO My first house was new construction duplex in 2010 and some of the stuff they tried to get away with was mind blowing. It wasn't helped by the fact that my city doesn't actually do inspections in that area, the contractors hire their own code compliance inspectors. So you can imagine how that goes.

2005 at best lol

💯 percent correct

Realtors half the time don’t know what there talking about😂

​@@omar-wf8zlthat and some get a nice Christmas present from the builders

These guys know alot more than a relator

Most inspectors I’ve ever seen would miss most of what we pointed out as would most realtors.

I wouldn't buy that house if I was him for sure.

​@@GLUFSARENif there are that many problems that are obvious, think what may be hidden behind the walls 🤔

I agree with this!

I also agree with that!! Just a rectangle with the logo.

Yup. Same with car dealers and their crazy markups.

Why should he have to make it look better. The Holes in the stucco are going to allow in pack rats

@@wranglerdave6452 bc they fuck it up

what was the price?

I'd be worried about the foundation. They probably built on sand...you need to dig under the house and see what they built on. That house probably only needs to last 5 years for the builder to get away with.

@@lj2700 I went to some of the new ones getting built to inspect the foundations today! I’ll post my findings in the update video.

@@albertlaane8667 $230k.

Don’t do grass the desert is going to be trying to reclaim the land until it’s built up some. That’s why you saw the hay bales in the yard and yes I have experience with this builder and the actual area 🌵I mean actual.

Nailed it

It's not that difficult to find a good contractor in Yuma. The problem is there's a long waiting list.

Yeah look at their reviews on Google. They have a 2.1 rating.I would NEVER buy a home from them. And that's the first thing I check when working with a new company is their ratings. I wonder why Chris didn't do that??

🤣

That’s normal in Az.

@@edgarh252I don’t see the higher end houses with them on the roof…

​@DMAXRYNO most houses in yuma have them on the roof.... also I'd venture to say the builders name rhymes with ball Brothers lol

Everyone is saying how great it is to have the compressor on the ground but forgetting that if the compressor is on the ground that means the air handler is shoved into a tight 150 degree attic.

I’ve heard there’s a long history of crap from this builder

Whos the builder? Would be nice to know so people could avoid

It's an Arizona thing... no idea why.

Collects less dust on roof from dust storms

@@epiphany6it doesn’t make any sense either because heat rises, you want it on the ground because the air is cooler

Lizards get in them on ground more

I've owned at least half a dozen homes in my life, most were older homes that needed lot's of work. At one point I bought a piece of land , slowly started developing it and paying it off, then after I retired designed and built my own home with the help of a carpenter friend. I know exactly the quality of everything that went into it. It's been 5 yrs. and I love it. Not everyone can do this but If you want to build your own home and have the time, money and energy, go for it. You won't regret it.

I bought a high-end manufactured home that was built in 2005. The quality is absolutely amazing. That builder was acquired by another company and they gutted the original company and turned it into building low end crap. I think there are still high-end manufactured house companies out there. Drop the foundation in an excavated depression and the floor of the house is level to the ground and it doesn't look manufactured.

I agree but if you have a split system in a house like that it means the air handler is in the attic. They are often shoved up there with no space to work on it and as you mentioned package units are nice because the inexperienced HVAC guys don’t have to install line sets and pull a vacuum.

Why do the higher end homes have them on the ground?

No snow. California has a lot of them on the roof. Soon as you get in the Mountains they are on the ground.

There’s a house 10 feet away from the side of his house blocking anything from drifting to it. It’s going to get more sand exposure on the roof. The higher end houses in the area don’t have the ugly condenser on the roof and they manage just fine.

Right! That's the first thing they should have done!
