My First House - $5000 CASH! 

In San Francisco that house would be $850,000.

I bought ugly houses when I was a young man. Your story reminded of some of my adventures. Not all ended well, but glad I did it.

"Viewer discretion is advised.." *zooms in on magnum condom wrapper* 🙏thank you for not showing the other half! Haha😂

"and then that'll be the last time I come on this street" - oh, I know that one! Been involved in a few of those types of places myself. Anyway, good luck with the work and the sale.

Bring on as many of these videos as you care to create. Creation and modification are two amazing things to watch, so I enjoy finding both on the same channel :)

I think a main reason for the low ceilings was high ceilings result in the warm air hanging out where it is of no use in the winter; if this house was built in ? late 1800s early 1900s, they used everything they could to keep the place warm without using lots of energy. Sure the gent in the video knows this as well.

I really like seeing all the renovations involved happen with some time lapse, like your earlier ones 🙂

My husband and I bought our house for $17,000 and within 3 1/2 years we will own our home. We have lots of work we want to do to it, but it is currently liveable. :)

This was a great video. 😀🏆 Thanks for posting it.

Great video I'm definitely liking the house videos thanks sharing

Should turn the kitchen into a bedroom and small laundry room. And install the kitchen in the high ceilinged main floor room with at least a window into the living room.

I feel your pain. I found out the hard way that location is everything when it comes to rental property. I am one of the folks that enjoy seeing this kind of video so keep up the good work.

Everybodys got to start somewhere I know I did nothing wrong with that and there will always be haters Great Job Craftsman!

I really enjoy your commentary. You're so honest, whether it makes you look good or not.

Refreshingly candid appraisal.

I love these rental videos I would love to see more before and after type of stuff as well

Rebuilding anything is always interesting.Thanks

I love all your videos brother! This one is no exception

I absolutely love this little house.

I like that old house with the funny little closet. We don't have anything too old for homes here in Alberta cause everyone was living in either a teepee or log cabin 60 years ago.

Neet little house. Would be proud to have it. As a single mom here in SC its hard to find anthing that is affordable. I wish we had places like that here. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a great day.

Yes please love to see the final product please. Thank you...

Thank you for sparing me the close-up of the toilet! 😞

Love your videos. I do home remodeling and renting in south Florida and would love to see more videos of your adventures in real estate especially since I don't get to see much frame construction, wood floors, etc.

Enjoy puzzles, including remodels, so... Very much looks like the ground floor bedroom was the kitchen until indoor plumbing came along and the back addition made. Makes sense then to have the high ceilings to keep the room cooler. Also, mades sense when adding plumbing not to try and cram into the original walls. Got to remember where they came from, grew up with only one person able to go at a time in an outside facility. What a luxury to only have to walk down stairs and a hall to go in the middle of a rainy night.

Love these kind of Videos and would definitely be interested in seeing more

You should talk more about flipping and renting houses out. Very intresting topics

Thanks for your reply. Merry Christmas!

I see why not to many renovations happened to this house.. the low ceiling challenges the final look.. however i think this is very wise of you.. i always look forward for more uploads from you.. one of the most anticipated videos to me.. good luck with the sale!

Not a bad house at all for it's age and what you paid for it! It can be spiffed up and it will look really nice! Would love to see it after you finish! I think that you will be surprised how nice that you can make it look !!

Can't wait to see it finished.

This is a really cute little house , I would live in it .

That's a nice little house. It would make a good house for a single person or a couple. The small bedroom on the first floor would be an ideal computer room. As the main cook and bottle washer at my house, I like having my kitchen sink in front of a window. I have bird feeders outside my kitchen window and it's nice to be able to watch them when using the sink area.

I actually really love this little house! Its adorable. A little rough around the edges, but I can see so much potential. And, I'm Only 5'2, so low ceilings are NEVER a problem with me! Lol

The house looks like it has old popcorn ceilings. I owned a home like that and when I sold it I had that removed before I sold it. It looked so much nicer! Thank you for sharing this investment house 🏡 I always loved the older homes like this one because they are unique! Better than the cookie cutters the developers put out nowadays for sure! 👍

I like this videos. Please do a video showing the house when you finish fixing it.

I love smaller homes, my home is around 700sq.feet. With a little wooded land in downstate NY. Its my little slice of heaven, and its not fancy but its good enough for my family of 4 and my 3 dogs. I did work hard for it. Its a gorgous home you bought.

I like it and i like your logic.

Thank you very much for sharing it’s so good very interesting

Nice. You could do a stack washer/dryer in the kitchen. We had one in a kitchen next to hot water heater.

In spite of what I see I still say the house has potential..

Good luck, hope you sell it quickly and get the price you list it for. And yes, I like seeing this kind of videos on your channel.

I like these videos as well as your craftsman features. I think its because mostly what I find interesting about your channel is how you find opportunity, put some of yourself into it, and try to walk away with a profit...Liked!

Whatever the title issue was, it's a lucky thing the seller didn't fix it. I saw the house in your other vid after you fixed it up and the living room looked great with the new floor.

I would like more renos and also your home repairs. Tfs

I like it when people fix up houses like these. Usually they're just torn down or left to rot until they fall over.

I'm too tall to live there and a ceiling fan would chop my head off.

good business decision to sell this property....you have done a good job making a livable home from a trashed shack. hope you make a decent profit.

If you're still working on this house, I would make sure the storage closet at the top of the stairs has the door swing out that way you can store much more in the closet than it currently can.

Very nice to see more of your houses. It is great to see respons to viewers questions. Its interesting for me too, because right now I'm buliding four garages to rent them and I've bought a place to built a four apartment house on. I was working as a winemaker but I'm changing my plans because I like to spent more time traveling. For this rent income is more suitable then a 60 hour per week job. In this order I'm thinking about renovating gipsy wagon (or building them on top of old agricultural trailers) to sell them and Building a living-unit on an old 4x4 fireguard truck or an austrian Army truck. When this plans are realized I might travle throught the US to visit friends and Family with my truck. So, thank you for sharing your experiances and all the best from Germany, Maximilian

I think before and after are very educational. So please do those and I will be watching.

I enjoy your videos.. my family did what you are doing each time we moved we could upgrade to a larger home. It sure works... J Bell

Oh i know those kind of houses and people all too well. Hope you sell quick!

Wow! It’s cute!

Very sweet home! I can see a ton of potential! Someone could be happy if it was completely repaired and cleaned up.

I'd like to see more videos about your houses, too.

Can you please share before and after when you fixe the house

I like this little house it will be s nice home for someone!!

man, 5000!? what?? I paid 13g's for my Ford fiesta.. good deal for the house, it has potential for being a little piece of heaven. I hope you make it real nice, enjoy

What a bargain $5k wow! I wish no properties of any construction type or size available for prices like this in the uk ever! Ours is a rip off country property here is only for the wealthy.. I hope you’ve posted some after pictures/video? It’s a cute home! would look lovely with wooden flooring throughout..

I feel your pain about people not respecting private property. My great grandmothers house has been sitting for 4 years. We did some work but we ended up giving up when we hit a serious dilemma. So we are trying to find someone willing to buy it. Kids started messing with the property. People tried using it for a parking lot because their 2+ car garage wasn't enough so they had to mess with the oldest house on the block. I can't tell you the nastiness I found in the shed kids broke into. How they could get dirty in a shed that decrepit and dirty is beyond me.

you are so inspiring! cant wait to get into this as well!

i think ts a cute lil house would look great done up properly

I think it's a sweet little house. Show the model history to it. Whoever buys it should do some history research on it to find out more information about the house. Perfect starter home. I think you did good.🤑

Could not buy a defend garden shed in the UK for 5 grand!!

That’s amazing a home like that would be a lot closer to 300-500 k where I live.

I think your an amazing man and a caring man too. You help poor people buy a home that is fixed up, your work definitely speaks for it self because it's that damn good. I just subscribed and look forward to watching your video's. Thank you so much for helping the poor and this house will look wonderful when your done it will be a good home for first time buyers. May the Lord bless you and your family. ❤

The house is attractive rustic old house, glad you are changing to sheet linoleum

enjoyed the house vid. yes to more please. ☺😚😉

Property tax must be very low for being willing to hold on to a vacant property for so long.

Really love your vids!

I wish that house was still for sale. I would pick it up in a heartbeat.

You are a brave man to take that house on!

5 grand. More power to YOU brother.

great work and happy work on your house

I really like the house.

i like it, theres something about that house that kinda makes u feel comfy, maybe cos its small..idk but i enjoy watching these vids!

Are you able to put some video up on how this house turned out after you completed all the work. We would love to see what it looked like afterwards!

I'd paint it ALL white including shutters. Cool video.

Hi, I think you should consider putting another window into the kitchen, it would improve the room 100% without too much work and probably increase the selling price as well

In Australia south coast of NSW that house in that condition would sell for $600,000 -$700,000 easy

Really like your videos, one of the best channels on RU-vid. (You, wranglerstar and Essential Craftsman are my 3 favorites!) Would love to see videos more often and more remodeling vids! Keep it up!

I probably would have moved the kitchen to the other side of the house, made the room that connected into the living room the kitchen and the current kitchen a bedroom

I would love to see the kitchen sink right in front of the window.. It is such a prioirty to me and I won't even look at a house without it.. sooths the soul to gaze out the window while doing the dishes.:) Rose

I enjoy your reno videos. I was wondering if you have any after video's of this little property. I enjoyed the 12,000 house on your other channel. You did a great job.

You should fix-up that side shed. Blend it into the current colors of the house. In its current state, it seriously detracts from the house and property. When a house is $5,000, it tells you everything about the neighborhood. Selling it, and getting out is the wise choice.

Magnum X5? Wow! That's a bigun!

Was looking for the other videos on this house. Wanted to see what it looks like after the reno

Kitchen is what we call a "shed kitchen/ extension" in Philly. Probably not an original portion of the house. Was an ad on somewhere along the way. That's why the ceiling is much shorter. I personally hate shed kitchens and refused to look at a house with one when I bought mine. They are notorious for water/critter/structural issues.

Hey man I just found your channel and you've inspired me quiet a bit. I just wanted to say that I'm an HVAC tech and that fence you built around the heat pump isn't something I would recommend doing again at a future property. I know you did it for security reasons but what happens during the AC season is that confined space will heat up dramatically and burn up your outdoor unit.

I would put a stackable washer and dryer in that upstairs closet that way it's out of the kitchen, if it's possible. Cute house tho!

I think this house is cute and perfectly fine for a family who cannot afford more (or even if they could afford more). I don't know the situation regarding the neighborhood it is in, but the house itself is fine.

Just found your channel. You have lots of good information on it. Did you sell this house and if so, do you mind sharing the sold price or at least a ball park? Did you post a follow-up video after you completed the work on this house? Thanks.

I think this would be great for one person or a first house for a couple.

Excellent find. I have been looking for house like that but they are only available in Chester PA or Camden NJ two of the worse cities in the US.

Would have maybe use downstairs room to expand kitchen, add dining, laundry space, open up downstairs living area a bit.

My husband and I bought a house in Springfield I’ll paid cash for it scrubbed it clean painted every wall....called an electrician (only needed $1000 worth of work)! Loved there 3 years sold it for $30000

a wrap around porch and that house is much more nice

Design of it is nice, will work for me

i think it's a nice looking house.
