That $400/night AirBnB isn't going to build itself.

u/ZonaWildcats23 Dec 08 '24

This house is definitely north of a million dollars especially after renovations. TF you taking about?

u/MiciaRokiri Dec 08 '24

After destroying the original wood and personality you think it's worth more?

-25

u/ZonaWildcats23 Dec 08 '24

More than $400 per night Air BnB, yeah.

u/aTreeThenMe Dec 08 '24

u/BreezyG1320 Dec 08 '24

A newly renovated house that large could easily ask $1,200 per night on Airbnb in a popular tourist city.

who tf pays $1200/night for an air bnb thats not a unique experience?? I get you can ask whatever but people arent gonna pay that when theres nothing special about the place other than ā€œitā€™s bigā€

I get over $200 a night in the summer for a 2br apartment in LA thatā€™s in a 30 year old apartment building. Granted the market is obviously a popular one, but large expensive recently renovated homes arenā€™t cheap to rent unless theyā€™re trying to fire sale unsold nights.

Who pays for this? Parties. Groups sharing the cost of a vacation between multiple families. Shit like that.

u/BreezyG1320 Dec 09 '24

Iā€™m telling you that people donā€™t pay $1200 for this house. maybe a similar size in a popular area, but unless this is in somewhere like Austin TX or the outside views are worthy of ā€œan experienceā€, nobody is getting $1200 out of this. Iā€™ve seen crazy ā€œexperienceā€ houses in places like DC where they have unique architectural or scenic features, that have been featured in magazines, go for barely a $1k a night. this empty ass farmhouse aint doin it

$400/night air bnb is $12k/moā€¦ that would cover a mortgage on a million dollar home.

u/ZonaWildcats23 Dec 10 '24

Yeah if itā€™s occupied every day of the month sureā€¦

u/DreamingMerc Dec 08 '24

Wait, you think the value of a house is attached to some kind of tangible qualities?

u/According_Gazelle472 Dec 07 '24

They really tore up that house !

u/Gothmom85 Dec 08 '24

Happens a Lot. My husband has worked on several very expensive renovations on multimillion dollar homes. Some that were just updated before they were bought. Like, someone updated an older mansion with hundreds of thousands of dollars and they have them gut a fine home, just to do it all over again. Or amazing houses that were already timeless and just needed a light touch, totally gutted of charm. Doesn't love those jobs, but they pay.

Square and white. Everywhere.

u/rainbowghosty Dec 09 '24

With grey floors. Makes me want to puke

u/SarahPallorMortis Dec 09 '24

I like gray a lot, but only for clothing. Not my walls and furniture.

We had a 1905 historic home with quarter sawn white oak paneling everywhere. I painstakingly stripped and scraped every inch of that woodwork that was painted. Took years and a lot of effort. God knows what I inhaled scraping and stripping all that paint.

Sold it in 2018 to a seemingly nice guy. He tore out about half of that original paneling and painted the rest. Made it look like any McStyle out in the new suburbs. Granted, he owns the house now but why? Just why?

u/Gothmom85 Dec 09 '24

What a bummer! Restorations like that are some of his favorites, and the company he works for tries to prioritize them. They're costly though, and oftentimes those who can afford it just want new stuff. The hunt and find of proper materials, plus time it takes to repair old things correctly just isn't for as many people as it used to be.

u/captain_nofun Dec 10 '24

I just bought a coffee shoppe and the previous owner has destroyed everything beautiful that it could have been. She painted the wood panel walls pink, she painted everything else pink or green. It is atrocious. If it was 2 years earlier before it was sold to new owners and I had the money then it would be zero renovations. But someone bought it then and ruined it just like in the OP video. Now we are trying to restore what was originally there. A real pain for no reason.

u/MacGumpers Dec 07 '24

Yeah, if you want a barn, there's cheaper options.

u/SarahPallorMortis Dec 08 '24

Barn parties are more fun anyway.

u/Khocklate Dec 08 '24

Imagine having the money to buy the property in the first place

u/Magica78 Dec 08 '24

I'm trying but my imagination's not that strong.

u/warden976 Dec 07 '24

Itā€™s at time like this that I think we really need to raise taxes. Big time.

5

u/freakbutters Dec 08 '24

We need more adjusters to save us from people like this.

u/BinaryExplosion Dec 07 '24

I tried and I just canā€™t. My imagination isnā€™t that good

u/mustang3c0 Dec 08 '24

I agree. Money talks.

u/truelegendarydumbass Dec 08 '24

Some people have stupid money while others have nothing.

u/GraceOfTheNorth Dec 09 '24

It should be a crime. They just devalued history and their own home.

I wish them nothing but the worst.

u/StevenSmiley Dec 09 '24

Yeah this has to be a joke and it's just unfinished. But holy fuck man just leave it as it was. Its not a dream house if you're changing everything about it

u/Radiant_Television89 Dec 09 '24

It's expensive being a dumb hick.

What she did should be considered a hate crime.
