bye
all right for those of you that didn't watch the original video this
property this property that we've picked up about 12 years ago i was an investment property we had
the same tenant here for 12 years the guy paid rent on time it was pretending the only thing is
we knew there was going to be some promise because he never called us for anything even
if there was a problem so when we showed up after he moved out this place was a complete channels
and you're going to see some of the images and some and then what you can see today is
all the things that we did i can't say this at a very high level this property we're in a complex
of maybe around 80 units and i can guarantee you this had to be the most filthiest and it was just
probably by far the worst unit that would have been in this complex today it's probably one of
the nicest and most pristine units and i want to show you what we did specifically so everything
starting from the floors so uh massoud and amara and edmonton hardwood flooring really hooked us up
for our rental properties we really like going with a vinyl floor rather than a laminate just
in case you know there's ever water that gets to it it doesn't damage it so we went
with a really nice neutral color because we're trying to think longevity both on the trend side
as well as also durability and we also wanted it to match with our kitchen cabinets so we wanted
something totally neutral so pretty much did all the flooring replaced the the laminate and the
carpet in the master bedroom the other thing too there was a lot of holes in the wall over time the
guy you know putting up tvs um i don't know what he did but there was holes all over the place so
we had all the holes patched and uh basically sanded and ready for the painter to come in
so i want to thank john from john's painting who did a great job came in here in one day
and pretty much painted the entire house all the day sports trends and everything so those are
two major things that a lot of people are doing around the program but we took it one step further
everything from the original fridge and your price of some images but it was absolutely disgusting
it stopped working we probably could have had it repaired it was a four thousand dollar
integrated fridge but instead of trying to even deal with it what we went out and we went out
to best buy and then we basically tried to find a fridge that would fit into this area
and then we had our trains actually modify the cabinets so it actually looks fully custom
the door originally when we when the fridge got delivered it was originally dented we had
to send it back that's why it was great replaced it within a matter of days and uh and uh because
again even though it's a rental i didn't want to see a dent on the front on the front of the on
the front of the fridge because all you're telling the tenant is that it's not important they can go
dent it more so i'd rather get a pristine fridge in here um the fridge used to open from one side
he reversed it so now it's opening properly to the one side so a brand new fridge uh our the cleaning
people were really happy that they didn't have to deal with cleaning that bridge they did clean here
but you know the rest of the appliances were in pretty bad shape talking about the appliances on
our cooktop the first thing is to make sure the rest of the appliances were functional
the cooktop was an absolute disaster i would have never cooked on this stove
and even though after cleaning it there was still a lot of on these ceramic glass tops you
get a lot of buildup there's a great product you can buy canadian tire i think it's called
ceramic bright but i'll put the description up below so you guys can like but it just
it almost looks brand new uh the microwave was in great shape we had that all clean so really the
oven which was absolutely disgusting is uh looks really pristine as well the one thing that i did
not think we were going to be able to salvage which would be really expensive was the actual
sink the sink is actually integrated um it's either corian or it is um a quartz the nice thing
about this product is that if you can't clean it you can actually sand it so take a look at this
like look at that sink it doesn't even look like it's even possible that's the same same you know
the fixtures that we had were always really nice fixtures so those were able to salvage and get
cleaned up dishwashers so literally kitchen feels brand new like all these cabinets on the inside
the amount of uh even looking looking on the bottom the amount of grime that was on there
you would think we would have to replace all the cabinets but it was really just some elbow loose
and getting it all cleaned so the kitchen's done floors are done so let's go over to the
the washroom because this is something that was where we completely remodeled the washer
so number one we broke all the tiles that were here we carried that same vinyl floor in here
giving it a more harmonious feel as it comes in the sink we ended up picking up from home
depot the other sink was actually pretty in good shape to plumbing there was something wrong with
it because it wasn't draining we could have fixed that but you know what uh for 350 dollars we've
got this really beautiful sink that came with the the counter we then picked up black fixtures
which are pretty common and trendy today uh then the lighting we actually ended up picking up at
living lighting off of dundas near the 403 those guys were great they actually
instead of making this weight they took this one right off the floor model for us and that light
was like 150 bucks but it really dresses up this washer uh rather than having their standard like
you know builder type light in here uh the mirror just picked that up i think it was at lowe's or
winners for like sixty dollars but uh the toilet again that was from home depot 200 on a brand new
toilet if you guys remember the last toy you you didn't it looked like you never flushed it there
was probably a reason for it it didn't work you'd have to like open up the tank stick your hand down
there and pull in the chain so literally between the flooring the vanity the toilet
um this completely changed everything however where we didn't want to spend crazy money was the
bathtub could have probably been cleaned but the tiles and all the grime that was on it and then
the color would not match our new theme so what we ended up doing is um we basically had a company
come in and we'll also put on the description and their names because they were amazing
and what they do is they actually spray an enamel on the original tile um and even on the fixtures
and on the bathroom so now it looks like we have a brand new tub shower uh surround and then the
we did order black fixtures for here they haven't come in yet so once those come in really we have
a completely new washroom so when you're really looking at junior renovation what are the things
that have a big significant change in rooms wise is going to be your kitchen and your washroom
obviously flooring and paint remember the bedroom guys so this bedroom at carpet we've carried the
same vinyl flooring here obviously baseboard trims these california shredders were absolutely
disgusting we pull them off wash them and then basically painted all the trim working like that
so this place feels like a brand new unit uh we even updated some of the light fixtures so this
is the one in the master bedroom i want to show you these really cool lights that we also picked
up at home depot so if you look at these lights uh you see when you turn it on if you actually click
and turn off it actually turns out to a night light watch there's another one how cool is that
in this area here this was also tile it was all broken we replaced that tile as well carried the
same vinyl flooring if you guys remember there were no closet doors here they were actually in
the garage so this one bedroom unit actually does have its own garage and what we did um i thought i
had a garage door opener in this in this unit but we didn't so for 12 years this guy was opening and
closing the garage and never even asked for it but we put a garage door opener in here
so now and we had the garage all cleaned out so it's a very practical garage because you're coming
in directly into your unit just behind these doors here is a stackable washer and dryer and that was
actually a new washer and dryer we put in earlier this year before the tenant left to summarize
basically when we came in two weeks ago and literally walked into this most people would
have said i'm done don't ever give me another rental i'm gonna sell all my rentals however
at the end of that video i said you know what give me 10 more broken toilets they're full of
[ __ ] stains give me ten more uh fridges that are full of mold because at the end if you look at the
big picture when i walked in here that was two weeks ago everything's been done it's at a cost
of approximately ten thousand dollars is what it costs to do everything then he figured i probably
spent maybe two thousand dollars earlier on the year for a stackable washer and dryer so all in
i'm in this place for about twelve thousand dollars during the whole time i've carried it
so that's what i've spent because i didn't spend anything earlier i spent it all now so
that's twelve thousand dollars in 12 years that works out to a thousand dollars a month however
i bought this property for 211. today it's worth 500.
the guy who's living here for 12 years paid 80 000 on my mortgage so when you look at it i
mean almost 400 000 over that 12-year period and that's why i ended that video saying hey give me
you know 10 more fridges 10 more toilets and i'll deal with it so for a lot of you folks
who watch a lot of our content that look at a lot of the high-end luxury and modern builds you're
probably wondering what why are we covering this well a lot of those people that actually
you know get to build that wealth are investing in investment properties similar to this and that's
like we are so that's why i wanted to share this with you and also put some perspective on
on some of the good in the back and uh hopefully this helps and then until next time take care
