I FOUND THE BEST HOUSE! | Noob vs Pro Real Estate.

welcome back to another new verse Pro

real estate how to invest in investment

property or your own real estate video

today's subject is this a property in

Sandy Utah and what I'm going to do is

break down what noobs are going to look

at and what Pros are going to look at so

first things first everybody usually

catches that you've got RV parking

you've got a great sized lot over here

this is a very good Feature A lot of

people like this as an amenity now what

a lot of the noobs won't notice first is

something a pro notice is just standing

right here instantly you're going to

notice that roof is getting to the end

of its life if you look closely at it

you can actually see it almost look like

it looks like it's been patched at

certain times and you could see that

with the D threading closer to the edge

of the garage here whereas as you're

getting closer to the top you're seeing

what looked like newer shingles as well

as on the left more newer shingles that

could be just the way maybe there was

another tree here or the way it's worn

over time but either way good a good

amount of this roof is starting to get a

little bit older So Pro is going to see

that right away without even having to

wait for a roofer that doesn't mean The

Roof Is Dead with a tune-up the roof

could probably still last you another

five to ten years depends on weather we

do get snow out here so I'm going to go

closer to that five-year era now I'm

also going to be looking at the

neighbors I could see the neighbor has

you know a lot of cabling here on the

side we've got a little bit of a rusty

maintenance uh uh you know venting over

here for a heater furnace you don't have

the chimney caps on there you've still

got the older antenna and this hurts me

a little bit too

you know whatever's going on over here

the whole Lumberjack yard not exactly

what you generally want to be around so

Pro is going to look at your immediate

neighbors and say hey is is you know are

the neighbors investing in the

neighborhood for example this particular

house still has the original windows and

older Windows what you will though

notice is you've got some new

construction properties over here so you

are seeing SPEC Building coming in and

you're seeing the same thing on the

opposite side over here on the left

you're seeing a newer build and then

straight ahead you're seeing a similar

build as this so you're getting

Improvement it just hasn't hit every

house yet and that's okay because that

creates opportunity for you so walking

up obviously older colors here You've

Got The Faded garage door a pro looks at

this and says let's paint it a pro is

going to paint all this power wash this

and it's going to look 10 times better

all of this old metal you don't have to

get rid of it the noobs like to start

swinging a hammer they get rid of this

stuff a pro looks at this and says why

this is a great storm door let's go

ahead you know I want to let some more

light in without letting all the weather

in uh let's just paint this mask it off

and paint it so let's head on inside and

take a look at what I like to call

grandma's house and the reason I like to

call a Grandma's house should be obvious

you've got the older carpeting you've

got the wallpaper on the walls and a pro

is going to look at this and say this is

actually probably a house that's very

well maintained because if you look at

the condition of the wallpaper and crown

molding it's actually in excellent shape

and that wallpaper condition alone is

already giving me a heads up that this

is probably going to be something that

has upgraded systems throughout the

house that I'm going to be able to get

at a discount because nobody else is

going to look at those systems they're

going to be looking you know the noobs

are going to be looking at the wallpaper

and the flooring and the paint for

example they'll look at the door colors

over here you've got the dark brown door

colors you've got the mismatch of

flooring you've got wood floor over

there you've got the ceramic tile over

here you've got this Navy style Sailor

carpet I like to call it along with

these lack of contrast between the

semi-gloss wall your receptacles or the

baseboard we like contrasts out we like

white receptacles and a contrasting wall

and flat wall contrasting ceiling this

is very much like you're in a submarine

that's literally all painted the same

color but remember paint wallpaper and

flooring and doors this is the easy

stuff this is the stuff that you can

make money on and it literally has my

favorite

Grandma drapes and they're in very good

condition now there's a specific reason

I'm looking at the condition of these

items hey by the way did you know you

could Shadow me again we've brought back

the shadow program which is in addition

to those courses on building your wealth

linked down below and if you want to

Shadow me to learn not just about stocks

or real estate or my take on

entrepreneurship or business make sure

you click that shadowing link down below

and join us and it has to do with where

the money was spent so let's go take a

look at where some of the money was

spent and we're going to go down here

and we'll see exactly what the pro loves

and what the noob usually misses the

noob's gonna get caught up with the

kitchen and the bathrooms and all that

take a look at this though this is

obviously a utility room down in the

basement but what I want to show you

right here is take a look at this you

have a history on the water heater of

not only this being installed in 2021

but also some kind of broken pipe

history we can find out about that I

have never seen this in my career they

actually put a date on when they put the

expansion tank in the fittings look

phenomenal no crazy curvatures no crazy

bends very professional looking solders

you can see these solders look even all

the way around somebody didn't come in

here and blow and go with globules

everywhere look at how professionally

finished all of these joints on the

copper looks whoever did this work did a

phenomenal job you have a very good

looking water softener set up here

you've got a future uh possibly not soft

water line right here you have the

Smitty pan Which is fantastic then you

come to the exhaust for the water heater

you actually have a catch for debris

that might be exhausting that's what

this is so you could take these screws

off and release whatever debris might be

in there so that way your your vent

isn't getting clogged not that that

happens often anyway but it's actually

very impressive you look at the

insulation a lot of the homes of this

age don't have fresh cut insulation like

this this insulation I would guess is

less than 10 years old so now you start

looking and you're going wow they've

professionally insulated they've done a

very professional furnace job here a

phenomenal very very similar to some of

the other features that we've seen on

the water heater the plumbing work is

excellent but then again you come over

here to the bathrooms which is very much

what the kitchen and the Master look

like and you have wallpaper everywhere

in fact in a master you have carpet on

the floor you've got to walk-in shower

over here obviously the tile is in

remarkable condition over here you have

a little bit of mildew in the corner

just like everybody does in their shower

but this is an easy glaze remove the

wallpaper throw in a couple can lights

maybe or or just drywall this rather

than having this acoustic tile obviously

the pro is going to paint the cabinet

and put a new top on while removing the

wallpaper and painting probably remove

this you could just throw a new one in

whereas a noob is going going to come

here and take this all down to the studs

a noob day one starts swinging a hammer

against all this tile and I'm looking at

this tile I'm going my gosh a glazed

tile of this condition with great grout

work a great even tile work I mean look

at this this actually looks very

professionally done it's nothing is

sticking out and jabbing you they're

level tile if this was just a modern

color it would be a very good tile job

why would you swing the hammer and ruin

this this is how noobs go bankrupt doing

remodels they just don't know what

they're doing you know you got some of

the older brass hardware and all this

stuff easy to update a noob goes in and

takes this door and just removes it and

throws it away in the dumpster because

they want to feel like they got a lot of

stuff done a lot of demo done a pro

looks and says a little bit of primer

and then spray paint it that's a brand

new door with some new hardware replace

the hinges as well if you want to be an

extra Pro this is obviously another

basement area here same thing with the

flooring I mean look at this you've got

an ancient wall heater on the wall over

here all this stuff easy to remove but

this is the definition of the kind of

property I want what to buy they have a

Beanie Baby collection and they have

peanut that was my childhood Beanie Baby

right there they have peanut this is the

kind of house that I would want to buy

we get a Venetian mask which I bought

from my wife from Venice this is great

the point is light fixtures flooring

paint colors easy things to upgrade the

Dual pane windows that they've done the

furnace the way they've done it the

heater the plumbing all of these system

upgrades are things that you you want to

see in a home the downside is a lot of

people aren't going to realize that but

that's actually good for you because

they probably spent a fortune on those

items and you can guess if they're

spending a fortune on the furnace on the

water heater on the plumbing on the

electrical or the air conditioning

system what are you going to probably

find probably less other problems you

know people do a home inspection

wonderful how many problems am I going

to find in the house well this is a

house where I would guess somebody

probably made sure problems were dealt

with you didn't have that long-term

deferred maintenance this here looks

like a pretty professional setup on the

plastic Foundation this is normal now

we're generally not pouring the

foundations anymore it all is also an

implication that it's newer probably

less than 10 years old very nice sized

unit for this size of property I know

this looks older uh this is actually

just the disconnect for this particular

property you have a new panel which will

put some b-roll over we have a new panel

downstairs in the basement and this is

just your main disconnect so not a big

deal that this is older the actual core

of the system is new but a noob is going

to look at this and go man this is all

crap a pro is looking at this and going

that suckers less than 10 years old baby

a Pro's gonna come in here and re-wrap

your uh condensate line here uh and uh

and and then enjoy the fact that you've

got a newer panel on the inside of the

house again this is very typical of

Grandma's house you're just not going to

get paint maintenance paint color carpet

uh things like that generally they don't

care about they care about the systems

this is the definition of the house that

I would want to buy this is an owner I

would always buy a house from this is in

contrast to somebody who only does the

Cosmetics the noob remodelers they only

do the Cosmetics the paint and the

lipstick and all the systems are trash I

would never want to buy a house like

that this this is very very good another

thing you're going to notice when you

look in here and you see that corrugated

metal in here bad the grease gets stuck

in there causes grease fires this is the

nice smooth metal they did it right it

doesn't surprise me I would have known

that they did it right just based on

everything else I saw because of the

homeowner here you almost want to pick

your homeowners that you're buying from

this is fantastic now a lot of people

look at these electric cooktops and

they're like it's just kind of food I

need to get trying to get rid of gas

induction cooktops are actually better

than gas this is different from that Old

conduction uh cooktop where you see the

orange ring and it gets hot induction

actually doesn't get hot what it does is

it Heats your pan because it's just

through magnetism whatever

electromagnetism heats up the bottom of

your pan and then you only get a little

bit of residual heat back on the actual

surface so adduction cooks faster

substantially cleaner than gas big fan

of it downside though with tenants is

they usually scratch the crap out of it

now you'll notice not a surprise again

almost not a single scratch on here

because this was a pride of ownership

owner and that's what a pro looks for if
