The absolute best cost break down I’ve ever seen.

that price is way too low! air bnb it make some money then sell it

Know it's not part of the build but the cost of your tools is a huge hurdle to be able to do all of this. Congrats on finishing!

Great series watched from the start, very entertaining, cheers

I think the biggest thing here is his labor can be counted very differently than most thanks to RUclips revenue. With nearly any other person I'd try hard to make them consider the value of their own time and labor. For me, there is absolutely no way I'd come off better doing it myself instead of hiring professionals.

I was thinking it would easily go over 1 million in the price calculation 🤷‍♂️

Mike - what’s the deal with leftover LEXA’s signs? Are they yours?

You should do something with the outside

Can I use acrylic paint to swirl ?

Been here since episode one!! I was a freshman in high school and now I just recently finished my freshman year of college! Time flies by!! Congratulations on finishing this amazing renovation!!

¨DIY¨HVAC 😂

How much did you make on RUclips so we can understand the full profit? 😅

Your sort of head scratcher of "I don't know why but Chicago Code requires this, and nobody really seems to be able to tell me why." That's like the entire Chicago MEP codes in a nutshell. They have so many requirements in there that seem to make zero sense and it is AWFUL to deal with. I work for a MEP engineering firm in NW Indiana and we've done a few projects that have fallen under the Chicago MEP codes and they are an absolute nightmare to deal with. So confusing and there seems to be basically no reasoning behind a lot of stuff in them.

to be honest i was expecting a higher number on the estimate but i know nothing about chicago real estate . I cant imagine what those interiors would cost here in bay area, CA. a bit disappointed that diy savings broke even with upside considering you also put 4 years of your life into this renovation . Hopefully youtube revenue made up for it. Cheers !

Good job on the reno. I've watched the whole 4 hour video. It's truly inspiring. I would like to know the estimated cost of all the DIY tools involved too.

Gorgeous custom bathroom... and the toilet seat is up, lol

950k will get you a shack in California. This property is amazing! I watched the whole series.

Awesome!! Thanks for the honest breakdown and happy to see a profit IF it was needed

Dude, Ive been watching this channel since the beginning and have been trying to figure out the address. Its literally a 10 minute walk from my house. Wtf!!

Very cool vision, great video.

Wow...I thought it was gonna be around $1.2 million. With so much high end material and custom work I figured you would clear $1 million easily. I bet if you put that place up for sale it would go for over a million.

Feels like you started this series yesterday. We loved watching the entire process!

For the sake of transparency you should've added monetization earnings as well 😇 but all in all I think you did a great job with most of it! Could've diy'd a bit more but I can understand that it's just to large for a 1 man show... Imagine you had to do all the insulation by yourself 😱😵‍💫 Even if you went over budget this still beats a 9-5 💪 so now what? haha

Awesome job. Thoughts: zoning. Is the building taxed as a commercial space? Plumbing: I was fascinated seeing how the iron pipe is assembled, I had no idea that it's effectively welded together. Electrical: I've been in many old commercial buildings trying to figure out where each circuit runs, what's connected, etc, with 50 or more years of different residents, outdated equipment, and amateur installations, you do get to a point where starting from scratch is best.

re DIY savings: if you had done none of the labor you would have to pay someone else to oversee the whole process. Is this oversight included in your calculated DIY savings?

$1,500 for grift. You're smart to leave out that part about the "permit expeditor".

70k for kitchen cabinets is insane.

Amazing journey!

I would say a construction loan is not a bridge loan……

Just continuing to milk the warehouse for clicks instead of putting up new content.... "the final tour", "star to finish renovation", "full cost breakdown"....what's next "what I wish I knew before renovating my abandoned warehouse!"? Wait, that's actually a pretty good idea for a vid...

Probably be 1.2 mill in 5 years. Now you can focus on building a business there!

Beautifully done. Love the overall flow of finished product.

Looks like trade is where the money is at in the USA, it's ridiculous!!!

If you need a mistress...im your guy

It's been a journey. Incredible effort & good to see your hard work rewarded with a great valuation. Looking forward to your next property reno ;)

what a journey!!

I have no idea of the market in Chicago but i thought it would be much more than a million. Seems like they kind of value your property on a tule of thumb regarding similar stuff on the internet which anybody could do.. surprised they don’t use listings of official transactions… the price you put something on the market isn’t what it ends up selling for

Honestly, I think the valuation is conservative and i'd add an extra $100k at least on top.

It's been a long road but so much fun! I'm looking forward to seeing you present videos while sat in different parts in your new house.

The metal requirement on plumbing is likely because of rats and the issues using PVC would cause if chewed (along with legacy liking of metal to keep old plumbers in business). We had a NYC plumber as a guest once and he explained all pipework is metal, mainly because that way the rats can't chew up the pipes. On commercial buildings it keeps the insurance cost lower and the chance of that issue is much lower, so you pay up front but save on insurance.

I am so ridiculously proud of how this space has turned out! I remember obsessing over this project starting in 2020, religiously watching it every time I got out of work. It is honestly such a beautiful piece of art and it still feels so cozy as well as opulent. You literally helped me picture how to describe my style by doing it right in front of me! I would easily pay over a million to live in this gorgeous space ❤

You are very inspiring. I wish you all the best!! Greetings from germany

If you renovated more of the roof space you'd go well over a million.

I thought I had water on my screen with all the rumbles lol

All those tools and the most hair-raising close call I've seen on this channel is that ball at the top of the stairs at 25:20. But, seriously, it was an awesome ride and I'm thrilled for you!

Yes, amazing. You are a very talented person😊

This is hardly entry level- very boughie- almost like you’re a cultured gay guy. I would have made an indoor parking spot- and would have left the elevator.

All it took you was 4 years and nearly dying 😅 in all seriousness Mike i am so, so proud of you. This is the definition of grit. Here in my market, your building would likely go for 2.2M-3M. You have created a phenomenal value for yourself!

I feel so much closure. Nice Job dude!

After hearing about the comparable seems they were low.
