So the renovation video that you're about to watch was originally shot just before
Russia's February 24th 2022 invasion of Ukraine while the extended invasion of Ukraine that of
course originally attacked the country in 2014 and Russia was trying to seize this city Odesa they
have failed and I had been prior to February 24th filming a series of real estate videos to
help you with obviously investing in real estate in the country now most of those videos and the
footage I shot is now moot for the moment at least but this one I think is definitely very
pertinent because I've been getting more and more messages from guys either former clients
or new guys who are interested in looking at real estate in Ukraine at this point so this will give
you a good idea what you can do if you were to purchase an apartment in the historic center of
Odesa Mama and renovate it and if you're interested in more information on the topic maybe my bespoke
advice down below in the description there is a link to my consulting and you can invest
in a consulting call with me and we'll go into more detail so let's get into the video
До перемоги!
I'm on my way to look at an apartment in an historic building that is going to be renovated that'll be
interesting for you to come with me and to see what it looks like before it's renovated and
then in a month or two I'm gonna come back to the apartment and see how it looks once it's
been transformed so let's go and have a look at you know one of these beautiful old buildings
that need to be restored in the center of Odesa Mama поехали and part of the reason I'm
you know bringing you along for the journey and seeing how this apartment
is going to be restored is actually for myself as well because this is the kind of
area and type of apartment i.e. being in an old building having to restore it and
also I plan to buy here in Odesa and we are just about to come up to the building
So here I am I'm inside this building that's being renovated its apartments
pretty nice you got at least one two I think three rooms balcony outside into the courtyard which
is quite typical here in Odesa yeah you can see a lot of the detail original detail up here in the
on the ceiling that is very typical that's what you kind of want to keep when you are buying these
kind of buildings in my in my opinion this is part of the charm and restoring these original
pieces of decoration on the ceilings is quite a lot
the radiators just there as well so it's going to be the kitchen uh
I'm excited to see what it looks like in a month or two once all the work is done because
as I said this is kind of what I'm planning for myself as well so definitely I want
to get as much experience we're looking at these old buildings and figuring out
you know what are the pluses or minuses and what kind of work needs to be done on them
just stepping out onto the balcony here a little bit of a look
in Odesa let me take a look down here
So it's been two months we're now at the end of January and I'm back to have a look at how the
progress has gone on the renovations back at the address so let's go inside and see
what they have managed to do in two months you saw it when they were in the middle
of the renovations and now let's see what it looks like when it's done поехали!
Yeah so hopefully I'm in the right building here I haven't messed this
up let's see if this is the right spot oh yeah I got the ceiling
Wow wow wow oh my .... this does not look like the almost it's obviously the same building
but what a difference if you can remember what this looked like it was like help us we had all
the workers they were renovating in here but look at this for a job on the renovations so
here we have I guess first bedroom they've already decored out wow what a nice style you can see wow
the furnishings I'm a little bit taken aback here uh just how much work you can do in just under
two months so this seems to be a guest bedroom in here so now I'm coming into the living room and ah ...
what a difference two bloody months look at this that's your Christopher yeah
So these are the original radiators that they repaired there Wow
oh all right so you can have it lined um
Yeah just amazing to see what you can do in just two months because also with a lot of my clients
are friends who renovated here you know renovating in general it's a lot of work you have to manage
everything it can be a lot of frustration and at the end of the day it takes a lot of
time you really need to probably be here to manage yourself or have a very good management team uh but
you know where there's a will there's a way two months and just look at how this is transformed
it will take you know to have a fully completed probably another six months they were saying to
have everything out in the balcony and to have the kitchen done and then it will be 100% but this is
just absolutely spectacular congratulations everyone who did it so quickly so well so yeah
