The Easiest House to Buy | Noob vs Pro.

welcome back to another new verse Pro

episode this is gonna be a quick one to

show you things that you like in a deal

this has a lot of things I like and two

things that I don't like but I'm going

to point out those two things that I

don't like towards the end you might by

the time we get there figure it out but

first Jack temperature check what's the

temperature right now

98 so welcome to Sacramento it is a

little warm where I didn't dress for 98

so let's get inside fortunately the AC

is on okay so the first thing that I

want to point out so I'm going to take

you right over into the kitchen and

obviously we've got a lot of beautiful

Cabinetry here by now you've watched my

channel enough to know that these are

going to be an easy paint why are they

going to be such an easy paint no as

well compared to replacing them look at

how they go all the way up to the

ceiling these are a larger cabinet you

got yourself new cabinets now you're

fixing the drywall you've got a gap

you're thinking about new trim molding

there's so much more that goes into

replacing the cabinets that turns into

such a headache that every time I see

people tear out cabinets like this I get

so sad some people get nervous the noobs

get really nervous they're like oh but

there's one paper here like well then

yes scrape it off you're like oh but

that's work and that's why there's money

to be made in real estate is because the

noobs are worried about work it's really

not that big of a deal even these

countertops here these are pretty nice

it's obviously going to be very tempting

to just yank these out and go for a

stone quartz sparkly white countertop or

something like that you might be able to

get away with just glazing these because

they will look almost as beautiful and

when you glaze these the pro is going to

say we're getting rid of the grout lines

anyway because we're glazing right over

them really what you want to do here Pro

is going to do is Sizzle up these

appliances these appliances are straight

out of the early 90s and not only the

cooktop it's actually in remarkable

condition for how old it is remarkable

condition uh same thing over here with

the oven and the microwave but what a

pro likes to do is look at the condition

that the appliances are in and usually

they're a towel for how much the owner

actually cared for the property when

you've got an A you know a 31 2 year old

Appliance and it still looks this

phenomenal you know you've got a pretty

good quality owner who's taking care of

the project and that's what a pro wants

to look for you want something I mean

look at this this is 30 something years

old and it look at that July 1990 and

you're in pretty clean solid condition

for 32 years old I bet you it still

functions even this

that's not bad for 32 years old this is

a little much you know but you know

that's what happens when ovens get used

but again it's not dinged up it still

probably functions but we would get rid

of them uh trash competitors frequently

in the easy way to update these since

they do break all the time I wouldn't

like to rent a property out with a trash

compactor anymore a pro is going to turn

this into a smaller wine cooler uh and

they're super inexpensive just get one

that's that size slide it in plug it in

and call it a day these sinks a lot of

noobs look at these and say oh it's

ruined oh no what are we gonna do we're

gonna rip it out it's a headache this is

an undermount for you to get rid of the

undermount you're probably going to ruin

the countertop now so it's always in

real estate the more you do the more you

destroy usually so here's just another

case where as you're glazing the

countertop yeah glaze this you know take

the faucet off glaze it reinstall the

faucet it's actually in great shape this

faucet I don't even know that you need

to replace it especially if you get

stainless steel appliances you got the

Chrome I don't know you could maybe up

updated if you wanted to but not super

necessary big fan of updating personally

all of the ivory to White just makes the

property feel more modernized I'm also

not a fan of the mini blind a lot of

people into mini blinds I do think these

scream low-class rental and so we're

going to get rid of those we would go

with something like a two inch faux wood

louvered one can lights here easy to

replace the trim sets on these they're

screw in cans and not the plug-in

fluorescents that are a horrible

nightmare these would be easy to for you

know 100 bucks and an hour of time

replace all of these with a new LED trim

kit obviously replace the other

electrical now this slider new looks

fantastic these are expensive installed

you're probably 1800 bucks on something

like this so the fact that it's already

done excellent now a lot of people say

oh but cat the backyard's not as big as

I want and I look at it and go I'm not

living there I don't want to maintain it

and as a real estate Pro less of a

backyard the better look at that it's

hard to mess up the top over here it's

retaining wall and conqueror you know

and rock and you don't have that much

grass so even if the tenants destroy it

all we're looking at maybe what 600

bucks worth of sod okay maybe a little

bit more but uh this is not that bad

worst case scenario it's within the

realm of a security deposit imagine if

we had a 10 000 square foot lot back

here it was all grass there's no way a

tenant security deposit will cover that

if they were to kill the grass and we're

responsible for uh the landscape which

personally this is a tennis

responsibility I'm not coming to their

backyard I don't even want to bother

them in their backyard all the time so

uh you know obviously this this molding

over here dated easy to update uh does

take some effort but this is really a

paint job here now uh same thing

everywhere you go but it's all good

quality great condition you'll see the

same thing upstairs you do have some

wear and tear over here but none of this

wear right here Jack careful can you get

out of the way for a second there none

of this wear right here Jack you see

that it probably comes from the water

spilling over see it on both sides over

here or you don't have that over here

uh none of this has has gotten to the

point where it's actually destroyed uh

the Cabinetry or done you know damaged

it or otherwise they actually even put

this linoleum sheet down to protect a

cabinet uh here which I mean again it's

just a sign of a this is an owner that I

would want to buy from uh a pro looks

and says I'm I'm not just buying a

property and buying the owner and this

is fantastic some damage over here could

be bonded that's no problem let's take a

quick peek upstairs and then keep in

mind what are those two things that I

don't love yet we're gonna reveal those

in just a moment but we'll run upstairs

quickly and give you an explanation of

maybe how to evolve a couple things here

the first is these guys

I'm going to and people hate it when I

say this but nobody expects Central vacs

anymore it's a central vacuum cleaner if

you're not familiar with what that is

you basically have a vacuum in your

garage generally and when you plug it in

sends a little signal turns it on and

all you carry around is the hose and the

actual vacuum part rather than the

canisters that all goes to a canister in

the garage however most of them are

broken and if it's there and advertised

that the house has it and the Tenant is

expecting it then you have to pay to

maintain it as the landlord assuming the

tenant isn't breaking it but these break

all the time not necessarily the

tenant's fault So What Would I Do cover

this up with a blank plate house doesn't

have Central Vac I would not introduce

uh the the to the tenant that this is

included in the right Aura I might not

cover well I'd probably cover with a

blank plate because this um this Ivory

is gross uh but I might say Central Vac

included without warranty or if tenant

wants to use it it's on them whatever

maybe that so but replace it with a

white

but forget about it I would not warranty

this it's not expected nobody really

uses them anymore these days so

something to keep in mind now coming

into the master you can see the carpets

pulled through uh to the master

obviously this is something you probably

create a transition uh coming into the

wet areas of the bathroom you can

replace the linoleum well really if you

want to go inexpensive here you could

replace this whole area with new

linoleum now a lot of noobs get mad at

me when I say that they're like oh my

God Kevin how could you say new linoleum

that stuff is disgusting the new

linoleums that you can get today

actually look like real tile and I could

get this whole room probably the

linoleum for like 350 bucks under 500 it

would be my expectation if I got a bit

of over 500 I'd be pissed and I can't

tile this room for that uh this this

would probably cost somewhere around

fifteen hundred bucks the tile and I'd

like that extra thousand bucks in my

pocket not in the floor that nobody's

really going to notice a difference in

any way uh so big deal I'd rather spend

money on something like these old bike

pictures and replacing that old stuff

right Chad isn't that crooked you even

know how to turn that on bro

try it let's see if you can get it

that's old school style

yeah exactly

that's gonna get rid of that old crap

so anyway uh okay so I'm gonna reveal

the two things I dislike I mean so far

everything else is pretty consistent the

bathroom much the same as the master so

what are the two things that I don't

like about this property

well

they painted everything already I would

have loved this property without the

paint job they did they actually painted

right over wallpaper that used to be

right here which looks a little janky

it's not the biggest of deal but a

little bit janky uh removing this

wallpaper can create a lot of damage to

the drywall yeah but uh they didn't do

all the trim molding all the wood they

left that they did the easiest Parts

they did the stinky carpet they got rid

of and they painted that's you can get

so much good value out of that so I'm

bummed that they did that but they're

smart for doing that they are smart

owners for doing that but as a buyer I'm

like dang it now quick market update I
