it makes me so happy that monica can show shelby houses now as a realtor... so cool!
Yes I agree, it's fun to see them house hunting in Seattle!
1.4 for 3 bd is a joke
I know so cheap for the area.
Who cares
When you have a ton of couples each making over $200,000 a year fighting over a limited number of houses the prices are guaranteed to skyrocket. This also make housing almost impossible for a household that takes in less than $50,000 a year. Most cashier’s have to commute over 90 minutes to find reasonably priced housing.
the modern townhouse, while not my personal style, is beautifully done! and that rental unit is gorgeous!
agreed I think the builders did a grea job! a lot of thoughtful touches they didn't necessarily need to do but still added!
Wow! What a lifestyle at such a young age. Both of you sisters are blessed!
Shelby's requirements: "But can it fit a hot tub?" :) I like this series, also the "interview" style was different and a nice touch. I'm excited to see what kind of properties you will tour in other cities. I feel like you are more comfortable in warmer weather but I understand the attraction of being close to family. Happy hunting!
Hope she knows how to use a gun.
First place Shelby: “it only has one bathroom” Monica: “look, she said she wanted a project.”
The condo was sooo nice! Especially living alone, it is nice to be in a super secure building and have access to all of those HOA amenities -- makes you feel far less isolated.
Condo will be great in the city when BLM burns down the city
I love house hunting videos! Especially with all the details like neighborhood and price. Can't wait for the next one. Oh and I LOVE that Monica is your realtor! I love you both. ♥
So happy for you both, and super nice to see you together! You are both so loved and appreciated too! Both of you are good people and deserve it!
The town house is great but bedrooms are tooo small for the price paying for. The fact that it has that extra appartment that you can rent out is great. Great to see you and Monica together again and having her to be your realtor. Dont be rush. You will find the right house and you will feel it at the first moment. Get a fixer upper and turn it into a home but pay less. While you were in New York Monica send you pictures of a house that had a studio in back yard. That was a great house.
The town is riddled with homelessness and drugs.
You are SUCH a good videographer and film maker. Honestly. This translates just like an HGTV show. The premise is clear, you looking and commenting positively and negatively is interesting and fun to watch. Shots, audio, b-roll, story telling, everything is on point. Very well done.
shoutout @edward lee for filming! I just edited this one :)
@@ShelbyChurch don’t sell yourself short! All your videos are fantastically produced. I look up to it (:
@@ShelbyChurch Have you and Monica ever considered doing a renovation show like Jonathan and Drew Scott of the Property Brothers? It might be cool to showcase your styles and your vision for real estate.
Ahhhh seeing you two together brings back so much memories from the collab channel you had way back when!
Hey Shelby! I really enjoy this style of videos. I like how Monica is showing her realtor side of things. My favorite was definitely the sky rise condo. I feel like the view would be a huge interest point for tourists and it seems to be in a well located area. The townhouse gives me more of a settle down type of vibe. It’s a 10/10
I feel like the view was ugly and boring, you're just seeing some office buildings or apartments, no landmarks.
Three things: 1) it's amazing you're investing in real estate, it will make you super-wealthy in the long run; 2) Monica is an awesome real estate agent, good for her; 3) the last house is soooo great. I mean, $1.4m is what, $5,000 worth of mortgage plus extra expenses, so $6,000 or so? If you can rent out the basement for $1,500 and two bedrooms at $800... It's an excellent deal, imo.
3k a month for your own room and shared amentjties is still a lot though
Are you saying 6k a month of expenses and 3100 for rent is a good deal? Because it is not at all
I think a two bed two bath condo suits you best imo. Since you are young and like to travel, condos are easy to shut the door and leave for awhile. Add in the amenities, and everything is walkable downtown, you'd probably love it.
Sister-Sister collab! Great teamwork! 1:46 Kerry Park! Love that view. I like the last one..modern townhouse
My heart dropped when she said budget was $1m. And even more when the first townhome was around $600,000 😩😩. You’re a really huge role model to me, I sure wish one day I can afford a nice home in a nice city that I love.
Perfect upload without any doubt.....Such a charming video. Thank you for being there for us!!!!
Great job, Shelby!!! We love you so much 🙌🙌🙌
I’d definitely choose the last one, the new town house with the roof top. If you rent out that bottom unit it would help you pay off the house faster even if you only rented it while you payed the mortgage.
Pro-Tip: Hot tubs - go for gas-heated tubs. Why? They heat up so quickly (10 mins) that you really don't get tempted to just keep them on all the time. Much, much cheaper to own. You're Welcome!
My brother and his wife bought their home in West Seattle in 2009 for $250K, then sold it in early 2020 for well over $700k, around ~$100k over asking price, with two dozen offers in the first few days. The Seattle market is insane, but I moved away in 2011 and would never go back lol. I like having my own parking spot/driveway.
it's so crazy there! good for them though!
The city has so much crime now since the defunded the police. Parts of the city were completely taken over for weeks by criminals
@Frank There was no defunfing police.There are more crime now because the police/police unions are mad and refusing to do their job, because people are calling for reforms.
@@judy-8961 there was police defunding. The police chief resigned because of it. Do some research, it is a fact.
@@judy-8961 beautiful, just last week the city council voted 8-1 to cut police funding by $7 million and that’s just after a cut in 2021 of $35.6 million. It could have been worse, Kshama Sawant of the socialist alternative party wanted a 50% cut. Look it up but you just lied, it’s to bad people like you exist.
Such a great video! So much insight from you guys. That last place was amazing 🙌🙌
I love this real estate touring type video with you and your sister. Hope you do many more! As for my opinion, I would definitely do the condo tower but with a 2 bedroom (for office space) with a bigger living room on a higher floor. Love the clean modern style, huge windows, the city conveniences, condo community feel, the shared amenities and the safety/security. The townhouse although it had more space, the half windows and windows without views, levels and rooms setup and area I did not like. Can’t stop thinking about Dateline NBC break in scenarios when at that property. Would def not live alone there.
Love this new video! Can’t wait to see more house tours in the future. I’m a big fan of finding an outdated single family home and making it your own!
Loved this video! The interview style made it look like an episode of house hunters
NO - Seattle is full of stunning older homes with tons of walkable neighborhoods - Ravenna, Wallingford, First Hill - you know, you grew up here! Actually after watching the video w/ your dad, I found out you guys grew up closer to us in Federal Way! We were on S 380th Pl near Wild Waves for over 25 years -now in Tacoma which also has tons of gorgeous older homes! I'm sure your family would love to have you back - but please remember how gross the weather is here :/
That last one is gorgeous; it would be a dream come true to live in such a beautiful and open space. The lack of a real yard would sting a bit, but that rooftop is amazing, though I'd want more privacy than that, so I'd have some kind of screening or lightweight optical barrier put up around at least half of the space, so that I could be up there in the open air without being visible to literally everyone within five miles. (But I'd still want to take in the view when I wanted, so either part of it isn't enclosed like that, or the parts that are have retractable sections that I can move aside to open it up when I want).
Of the 3, the expensive townhouse is the best imo. Since you're leaning toward a fixer, you should check out West Seattle because you travel a lot and its only 10-15 from the airport. The bridge is reopening this year and light rail will be there eventually making it a great investment.
I always love looking at real estate videos, especially when I'm not the one having to pay! ;) Can't wait to see where you end up Shelby, thanks for taking us along on the ride. :)
Keep on inspiring people Shelbs! Good luck on your next project house!
I love the last one, it was so stunning! If it was me though, I’d probably go with the first one just because you could personalize it to how you want (esp for the price) and the yard space was so nice!
You inspire me so much as an investor, female boss babe and so much more. Love this series🙏♥️
Loved this topic and style of video! More of these please!
I love this kind of video and can’t wait to see more about the decision and your next project!
Bezos poster in the communal area makes the apartment a hard no for me.
LOL right, I hated that hahahah
Gates was also in there! 7:52 and then 7:55
saw that, cringe and run!
Wow wow wow ‼️ ‼️
$32.000 in just 16days, my financial ground is changed totally...
@@donnicky7429 Wow how? I need your suggestions
@@mateolorenzo3716 SLAGHUIS ROHR is the source of my financial life.
And three of my friends also trades with him and earns $62.000 with his help and guidance. Best Broker ever...
Easy wealth building, I totally agree with you. Investment has also changed my life financially trading with slaghuis Rohr.
Existing to see what home you will pick. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
The 3rd house looks amazing but I think for when you are right now, the condo is great. It's in a more busy neighborhood, great ammenities and then later you can move to a house if you decide to stay
The townhouse one (first one) looked so cute and nice!
Totally love the third option!
I love the casual “budget’s around a million”
Wow!! I’m subscribed to both of you and I LOVE videos like this one when you two are together! :D
I think I would keep the 1.4 million one because it’s a great investment property and if you think about it, it will end up being as cheap as the condo in the long run. Also, if you work from there you can put that in your taxes. So it’s a win win.
Also can do a double air bnb space (upper and lower suites)!
That price is nuts for a townhome
@@jasonnelson5251 Agreed.
i love the new condo but with the size bedrooms of the townhouse (the 2nd one). this was a really cool video shelby!!
you guys are definitely the coolest sisters on youtube! always so fun/enlightening watching both of yours' investment journeys - really appreciate how transparent you both have always been :)

i love that large square window in the primary bedroom
Love the video! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Keep on looking. All were great properties though!! Crazy how expensive Seattle is now, beautiful city!
I would keep looking…loved the natural light in all of them, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself. How do I live and what do you need to determine what home suites you. If outside green space is important, then keep looking. That would be important to us. Even here in CA, we chose a home across from a park with a premium lot size because at the end of a long day or week, it is nice to sit on the patio and have an adult beverage while the dog runs around the yard or work out in the yard freshening up the garden and flowers. Good luck with your search❣️
ooooh buy #3 with monica. the modern townhouse. you guys could sell the other seattle townhouse and use the capital to buy this one. and still look for a fixer upper
I love that you said primary bedroom not master. Thanks for being conscious of your viewers. Love the 3rd one!
We just went through house hunting this past month. We viewed that SPU spot as well. It was a cool place for sure! You did a better job at showing it than the Redfin pics lol. It's a brutal market, but it's getting better out here. Good luck!
Have loved watching your videos time to time and seeing you move - weird to see you filming here in seattle! all the best
Really enjoying this type of series, from Vancouver btw, so housing prices are outrageous.
"I really trust her taste. I feel like she'll know what I like." For some reason this statement made me giggle, seeing that she is your twin.
Love love love this house content Shelby!!
I loved the modern Town house and the condo.
best collab ever i loved this vid
What a coincident! We actually tour the exact townhouse as the property #3 in your video back in Feburary! It was geogours!
I'm so glad this is part of a series. Loved it!
The newly built town house ( 3rd one) is a great choice.
The last one because of the bottom unit. The bathrooms were on the dark side. For small bathrooms I like light oak cabinets with a horizontally grain with a white Caesarstone counter top. Mirror with a light built in.
hah big brain move ;P her budget can go up every time she releases another video about her house search!
Maybe Shelby should look for a place in South Carolina where Sam is from? Just imagine what $1 million can buy there?
Shelby Church we love your videos! Very informative as i am looking for a place in Everett possibly.
2nd condo reminded me of your NY stay inside when you went to the new place, the minimal look with large windows
Another good video. For me, a condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms would be best option. Maybe such a unit will become available in the same building you filmed or in another building. We live in New Orleans in an older building in a 2br/2barth condo we purchased in 2014. Our condo rules only allow long term (1 yr+) rentals. The building has gated entry and is very secure. Security is important to us since we enjoy traveling throughout the year and never worry about leaving the condo for extended periods of time. Hope my comments give some food for thought. Good luck with your search.
#3 modern townhouse is what I see Shelby in. I myself would like #1 townhouse.
Definitely prefer the last place. Although I also liked the old charm of the second one. From personal experience, I couldn't live in that condo with no outdoor space/balcony. They tend to feel stuffy because there's no fresh air and you can't even open a window when it's nice weather. You can't easily air things out so they get dusty quicker and tend to smell stale. They can also be eerily quiet.
This video was soo cinematic & so well made. Love it ☺️💙 great job Shelby, can realllly see the effort 💯
The reno town home would be such a nice option, having such a "low" price and then having more money to be able to make the space your own is priceless to me.
Looking forward to the next videos like this. Pretty cool. I would probably go for the last town house out of the three.
Definitely keep looking. I'm further north in Snohomish county, but I have a beautiful home.
I toured the first property when it was on the market in 2018 and I too agree that the lack of second bathroom was a dealbreaker for me. Great property otherwise!
You're video portrays Monica's professionalism beautifully 👌👍
It does doesn't it. I was going to comment tge same thing. She had clearly prepared, knew what you could do in terms of rental with each unit, had prepared in terms of upgrades and what you could do. Very professional in her first year already.
the last one was def my favorite!
I love how this video is filmed
I love all of them and if money wasn't a factor in my decision then I would choose the 3rd one. If the price was a factor I would probably choose the 2nd one over the 3rd.
KZhead recommended your video. Thanks for taking us on the journey! I'm a sucker for real estate :)
Helpline 👆👆 About how to start earning
They are all such good options! I would go #3 if money wasn't a factor, but then number #2 if money was a factor. The condo is super cool, but I would want at least 2 bedrooms for an office/guest room space.
The townhouse no doubt! Seems like it would be an amazing home and a great investment
Good video, also love the family resemblance, you go qweens.
Hope you go back to Seattle! Fremont, Wallingford, or Ballard might fit the bill for you? Crazy how $1M is what goes for a starter home in some cities.
Yes, having Monica as ur agent would def bring benefits! hoping to see more content like this
yes to the seattle content!!
A closer friend of mine is doing renovation in Seattle.. saw his work.. really good work.. I feel like he can do much better working with you and your sister
I liked them all for different reasons. I will say our primary bedroom is ridiculously large at the expense of the other bedrooms on the same floor. My spouse and I don't spend a lot of time in it. We had to buy extra furniture and larger artwork so that it didn't look stupid. We feel like it's wasted real estate....just like our formal dining room. We pay a lot for rooms we don't use that much! : (
Definitely the $1.4 MM townhouse at the end - best size, finishes and unbeatable roof deck.
Next up: Love it or List it, where Shelby is the overzealous interior designer, and Monica is the pessimistic realtor😂
hahahahah
I really love the modern house! You can make a few changes and make it your own and still get rental income. That rooftop was awesome. Loving this series!
The series is a joke. Both girls are stuck up
These prices are bonkers compared to where I live. You would probably like the Portsmouth NH scene. Lots of restaurants, sort of an old time NYC architecture, on the ocean, an hour from Boston. Also no state income tax and no sales tax! One of the perks of living in NH.
I'm at the same point as you ready to buy but open to moving to different cities. Great idea for a video series!
Property 3 is about a mile from Madrona. Not that close. What is much closer is that small band of shops including Heyday Bar & Restaurant on 31st. Nice spot up there with great views!
I loved watching this! It reminded me of watching house hunters, but way better because it was actually realistic!! It was fun to see the different options and hope you will share more house hunting videos!!
"Budget's around a million." is just such an insane sentence to hear. I cannot imagine. Lol I'm in on Property 3, too.
She said it so casually lol
The last one was probs my fav, especially because you could rent the bottom floor, but I didn't personally fall in love with any of them.
it's so cool to see Monica as a realtor in action
Get the modern townhouse. That rental unit will pay for the difference in price and that view on the roof will be amazing in the summer
We lived in a condo in downtown Seattle on Cedar St. for two years and it was a blast.
I love the last one!
