Working my way through Kevin's real estate investing course. Phenomenal content so far. Hard to stop myself from binge watching

How I remodeled this -bathroom- bathtub for $383

[zeerakabbas]

There’s no reasonable way an average person can redo this bathroom let alone the bathtub for only $383. I’ve had multiple bathtubs, tiles and vanities reglazed and the rate to do both tile and tub is ~600-700/bathroom in LA maybe you can get a discount if you have several bathrooms to do (I’ve gotten mine for $500/bathroom). A new vanity and vanity cabinet is going to run about $500 from a wholesale warehouse and dependent on how many sinks there are. Flooring is dependent on what you put- LVP installed is about 4.50/sq ft. A new toilet is $100. Total including fixtures, flooring, quarter rounds, materials, caulking and labor is going to be around $1700-2000 to redo the entire bathroom, not $383.

I'm a plumber. I highly recommend you get your plumbing fixtures from the plumber instead of a box store like home depot. Box store versions of plumbing fixtures are garbage compared to the plumbing supply house versions. Thinner plates, more plastic and less brass guts, pathetic paint finish life-span (wither rubs off or quickly loses it's shine). If you put in a box store fixture, you'll likely be replacing it soon because of leaks or breakage. Also, a lot of plumbers guarantee their work for say a year, if they supplied the fixtures. If you buy them yourself, and it breaks, there's no good reason for a plumber to fix or replace it for free or discount (you bought the garbage). He is right, however, about not getting plumbing fixtures off the internet, as that is usually total garbage.

I'm saving money to start investing in real estate. I'm 27 and feel behind in life due to being dumb at younger age. Watching your videos gives me hope that I can do this.

Kevin I’d love to see some more renovation videos. Your approach on the rental friendly way is awesome. Don’t overspend for no reason.

[sugoiharris]

I worked on a crew for about a year getting rental houses up to scratch. That reglazing does look really good when its done right. When its done wrong it causes so many problems with chipping amd flaking. Make sure to find a reputable company and properly prep your bathroom.

Pretty misleading, because you didnt show a BATHROOM remodel for $383, but a BATH TUB. Whole video was really just a marketing tool for your real estate whatever it is. No thanks.

[tonyburry]

Hey Kevin,

Great video by the way but let’s not lead homeowner towards the wrong direction! Lol
First refinishing standard size tub from an actual real refinishing company is $495 then if the tub has been refinished before there is a up charge of $120 for stripping the old coating so that give us $615 just the tub alone. Now if you want to refinish the tub and tiles the standard rates are $695 for the tub and tiles and remember you also need to to regrout the tiles surround before actually refinishing it that’s extra $189, that leaves us with the total cost of this project by a professional company $884!! Lol just wanted to throw it out there incase someone is actually considering on doing this project and actually for the coating to last for many years to come. And to homeowner and realtors out there that use this service like crazy is you get what you pay for. So if someone tells you I can refinish your tub for $383 bucks lol just know that the prepping is not going to be done correct and the coating will fail!!

I keep coming back to your videos because I am working to secure a house for my friend so he can afford the monthly payments under $500. That means we look at old and scary houses, but your advice for bringing these properties up to date and livable on a shoestring budget is priceless. We will be DIYing a lot and hopefully turn a tidy prophet in sale or rent if he ever moves out. Thank you for being open and free with your knowledge.

As a plumber, just beware that 30 or 40 dollars more you pay for parts from the plumber is sometimes the difference between Home Depot junk and a plumbing supply store. And yes there is a difference in quality. Not everything at the big box stores is junk but def a lot of it

[jeanalexandre]

To answer this question is very simple know what you good at and know what you bad at. Do all the things that you could at. And contract out stuff you never did before. Like plumbing and electrical.

[ibladyj]

Well you just saved me about $10k.
I met with a "BFD" contractor last week and was almost fully sold on updating my bathroom.

[jamieplumber]

Hey Kevin, I’m a plumbing contractor and there is no way someone can do a good job installing those trim pieces in under 1/2 an hour.
My philosophy is buy nice or buy twice and the same goes for your contractors. If you can find a plumber to go to your house for $50 then chances are he’s not going to be any good.
I do appreciate your videos and enjoy watching them but I think this one was a bit misleading.

[justafryguy]

I’m I wish it was $275! I live in north NJ and just the bathtub alone is $400-445, never mind the tile! I have been quoted from $1800-$200

[Georgieboy]

Wow I never would have thought about doing this. This is going to save me like 5k

[MeetKevin]

That lady at Home Depot though 😂😂😂 Talk about timing

[latiarastewart]

I like how he low key promoted himself with the car. ☕️ 🐸

Quick tip you may not have known when you made this, if the valve is tight, it's because there is something called a cartridge behind the handle. This needs to be replaced over time, particularly in hard water areas (much of the country) and when there's no water softener. No ripping or tearing into the wall is needed. You pull off the handle and can get at the cartridge. Most faucet manufactures will send this replacement (and other parts) for FREE if it's under their lifetime warranty.

Moen has been really good about this and i had that same style faucet and replaced them all for FREE after calling Moen. Worst case scenario, you purchase the cartridge for around $20 unless it makes no economical sense with the cost of a new faucet (but it may make sense for your time invested as cartridge replacement is pretty easy).

Early in my career in construction I worked with an older contractor who told me I needed to know how to do everything myself, but know when to use subs. We both mainly acted as carpenters but did a lot of other things that were part of the larger projects. Plumbing was a perfect example. The older guy did all his own plumbing so I followed his lead and started paying attention. Obviously you don't learn everything all at once, but starting with the basic things I was able to do a lot more before I needed help. Eventually I became licensed and went off on my own, worked alongside plumbers on various projects and watched them intently when I had the chance, always eager to learn something new. Now I'm at the point where I only hire plumbers for certain things I don't want to do such as scoping and snaking (equipment costs too much and is nasty work) or things I cannot legally do such as fire sprinklers. Most everything else involved in residential plumbing I do myself, I do something plumbing-related at work at least once a week if not more, and have only hired one other plumber in the last eight years and that was for a warranty repair that the manufacturer required one of their certified plumbers for.

That was a long story but the moral of it is that I taught myself a valuable skill out of necessity, and for years I have been applying it rather than hiring out and saving myself an untold amount of time, money, and hassle waiting on someone else. The convenience alone of being able to do it on my schedule is nearly priceless. Sure, if it's something you aren't comfortable with or don't ever do, then it's worth it to hire a pro.
