0:00 Hey everybody, it's Christine Johnson.
Today we're going to be doing something a little bit different.
And if you don't know, my husband and I are also investors, so I decided to take it to
a different kind of way and start looking at some of the TV shows that you all watch
and talking about it.
In this case, we're gonna watch a clip of flipping 101.
Now, I have not seen this episode yet, but apparently something ends in disaster.
So did they do a bad job?
Did something happen?
Who knows what we're gonna find out?
Right now?
0:29 This is flipping 101.
Well, this is a big bathroom.
Yes.
Yeah,
0:37 huge, right?
0:38 She's really big.
0:41 The bathroom looks like it came out of the
1960s.
And that sink looks really, really long.
So either it's a really bad camera angle, or that's just a really, really long sink
0:52 for under 900,000 that the seller counters
at 925, which is actually right where we wanted to be was Anthony overseeing landscaping,
I brought into crew to do a demo, and it's looking great.
1:04 Oh, my.
Okay, I have a question.
How come it's always the price that they just want?
I really wanted to be at 925.
Earlier you said 900,000.
You offered less than that.
But all of a sudden, it's 925.
Right where you wanted to be?
Gosh, it
1:24 looks so much better.
1:25 Right?
Today, I immediately start to show him our progress.
And Anthony can't be here today because he's attending a college class.
But at least it's going to school so I can't complain.
We got the ceiling scraped wallpapers just about down.
1:37 This makes the biggest difference in the world.
This came out way better than I thought.
So it's so open.
We have a clean slate.
This is actually a really really nice space.
You have dining you have kitchen, your living.
1:49 So how much space should we take out of the
kitchen so that we don't lose too much of this dining room area?
1:55 Well, this is actually
1:59 okay, never have I ever heard anybody go into
a house and be like, can you make my kitchen smaller so that I don't take away from my
dining room area that I never eat in?
2:11 One room now?
Yeah, true.
So if it were me, I would make the kitchen as big as possible.
Okay, what's more important?
Yeah, kitchen countertops with cabinets and storage or an extra foot of dining room that's
never used
2:24 the kitchen countertops.
And before that, I said, Did you hear that?
I've never watched the closet.
2:32 So
2:34 downstairs.
That's our downstairs closet.
2:37 So that's the new closet is just in the wrong
room?
It is yeah.
I'm assuming the contractor is taking care of themselves.
They are.
Alright, show me the master.
All right.
Okay, wow, looks a lot better.
Right?
It's open.
So now we can plan.
So I know you want this van.
So so the question is, where do we make it fit?
Right?
So we're gonna have the double vanity, the vanity does not come out about this far, right.
But this hot stop here.
So you need entry to the shower.
And you want to tub?
How are we going to do that?
3:09 Side note, if tar came into my flip house,
I wouldn't be that calm.
I'm just saying.
3:19 Well, like you said, we can have the tub on
this side and the shower here.
So when you walk in, that's what you say.
3:25 So where's the door to the shower to get in
here.
But then the tub here.
So to get into your bathtub, you have to walk between the tub and the shower.
Tighten here come in here.
Gotcha.
But if you really wanted a tub, we could do a shower room.
Right?
So a shower room is, is this is just a glass wall tank with a door.
3:48 Okay, who uses a tub these days?
I have a tub and it's used to bathe my dogs.
Now don't get me wrong.
I know a lot of people like baths.
But like, what's the whole tub thing
4:04 I'm taking over the backyard for my mom to
make it easier on her.
And I'm getting feedback from Tara because the fence area didn't look too good.
4:10 That is one big fence.
4:12 Yes it is.
And we got all this concrete showing out that looks really ugly for the backyard.
So we wanted to either put a new fence that covers it all in front of it which would be
three around $3,000.
Or we could just paint that fence and put
4:28 that better be half of a fence because I've
never heard of a fence costing only $3,000
4:33 bushes and mulch around it in the area and
block off those concrete slabs because we don't want that ugly slabs coming through.
4:39 I would spend the money on the landscaping
not the fence.
Okay, okay.
Okay, excellent.
What were you gonna do?
4:44 I think that was I was I was gonna I don't
know about you, but out.
4:49 Now that was a good suggestion.
You can always add a fence later, but the landscaping needs to look good.
4:56 Good one I wanted to plant it'd be easier
for a budget because we're playing on 1000 With that concrete slabs over there it's bringing
up our budget to around 12,000 We were expecting it
5:06 I'm proud of him today he goes number job
5:13 so I got a phone call from the police department
saying that there was a fire so who middle of the house
5:21 you can even smell this
5:24 fire are these people permitted that are doing
the work there because there should never be a fire if these people have a license but
let's continue to watch and see
5:34 yeah
5:46 oh my gosh this is absolutely devastating.
We're having to redo everything that we've done and I don't even know what this is really
going to end up costing.
6:01 I mean look at their roof I mean there's there's
nothing left.
There's nothing is completely charred.
That it's bad.
6:12 How in the world the union get the smell out
of this house.
6:15 So part of it is all of the plaster has come
down in new drywall throughout the house.
entire thing.
Yep.
The whole the whole rough.
Oh,
6:26 they were gonna keep that drywall because
that drywall does not look like I would keep that dry for a million dollar house.
There's no way I would keep the drywall.
So you should have been replacing it to begin with.
And that's the old drywall that is not new.
6:36 I look at the roof and you can see it from
here.
But yeah, the roof.
Rough.
Okay.
I can't believe the entire house soon burned down.
Yeah, right.
6:47 Can you set this?
Upstairs, right.
Yeah.
So it started.
Charcoal.
6:55 Wow, every single room just burned down.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.
7:03 So this is maybe where we thought it started.
Right.
We're in the upstairs bathroom.
The Windows blown out the ceiling, the fans are melted.
So we thought maybe it was their insurance has come out once and they are still investigating.
So we're not sure.
So yeah, so we're here that all got thrown out.
So everything's got to get redone.
7:23 I mean, this project is a completely different
project at this.
7:28 This is something that is very, very important.
And this is more on a little serious note, always get insurance.
When you're flipping a house.
A lot of people don't even think about doing that.
But I'm telling you what, I know that I've already had to make a claim on a previous
flip for my insurance.
So just make sure you look into that before you start doing any work on it.
Okay.
7:49 So I guess my first question is, how long
do you think it's gonna take before the insurance actually approves you to start working?
7:54 We're in a holding pattern.
7:56 I don't know.
You need to put pressure on them.
They need to take it seriously, because you're getting to the point where if it takes too
long, is gonna be $100,000, which means you're gonna make nothing,
8:05 right?
Yep, no, you're right.
My guys are ready.
My contract is ready to get right back in as soon as we get the okay.
But we can't get started.
Because then if we mess with anything, the insurance company could say, Oh, that wasn't
because of the fire.
So until I've been advised that until they come they come in and tell us what it's going
to be we have to
8:22 leave at this point.
So just out of standstill them.
Exactly.
So how's your tie?
We can't do anything?
No, it's honestly heartbreaking to see this happen to Audrey, because I know she worked
so hard right now the only thing she can do is keep pushing forward and just really try
to settle with the insurance company.
I'm sorry.
I know.
It'll be It'll be all right.
It all
8:41 worked out.
Well, that show ended abruptly and I guess we'll never know really what happens but the
moral of the story is, that's why you need insurance.
You have to make sure that you get insurance on your homes, even though they're in a terrible
terrible condition.
Because things like that could happen midway through your work, and then it was all for
nothing.
