A completely different take on housing than what we normally happen economists -- that people we have rob van winkle who is better known as.

Today ally said what you may not know about -- is that.

Editions of the music has been out there actually flipping houses and renovating and fixing them up so successfully that they made a television show lot of it is now starring in the third season of DIY network's the Vanilla Ice project to do it yourself network -- rob o'clock claim that -- closer to -- him and market like ice is cold it is out there today took a couple of but fifty -- humidity are all morning right yeah different things -- I well up.

Everybody knows who you are -- you know back 8990s and -- west maybe one or two mr.

questions at the end but -- so wanna talk about housing little bit because I think we've learned a ton about it.

How to get started what.

Why would you get into why.

Did you get into it at the beginning I did ice ice baby when I was sixteen years old -- -- -- model -- homes around the country thought I'd be working you know in LA's about a place up there next to Michael J.

Fox more -- and bleaker street in the village united Dallas Miami all over and went on tour for four years.

Never saw one of the -- except -- -- -- I thought I was young and dumb enough to dog is blew a lot of money and I -- -- let's sell them and I sold them a literally made millions -- -- the days and those were the days and you know I should just buy some more so I did and you know that was good seventeen almost eighteen years ago -- -- ever get caught up or did you get caught a few years ago and then in the crash.

Yeah I mean I did and that's it's evolved in the great thing is is that right now you can buy homes a lot cheaper than you can you know build them for.

And open your eyes people of the housing market is on arise that -- its back in and it's doing better than ever.

And there's.

That are just gold mines a -- and in Palm Beach is is one of them there -- do my you know my show.

But it's amazing to see you know that you can -- you know these homes always.

And it's all high and stuff right from what I've seen the show yeah I'm gonna get a huge house and yet he is not.

Been kept up for something happened what we've all seen these foreclosure short sales tax means whatever in your neighborhood and you know they they look I cannot -- you got a beautiful neighborhood is once our house there and the -- is black you know -- -- -- overtaking it.

-- -- and then turn these homes from zero to zero how do you do let me read you what you personally know about it is something you just always loved to do well yeah.

I mean you know the way to keep to the success is to by the house way below the appraised value so that you allow you to put money into and still sell it to someone below the appraised value all fixed up.

And the actual renovations is something the renovation I fell in love with a good while backing down you know I had a house that Idec had professionally decorated -- -- island.

And I had acrylic.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I did it.

And it's amazing you know when we need we need.

Go through so much hard work renovating homes sit back and any cross your arms you're like wow I -- -- -- like got the bug right then and they're not let the.

This TV show as you said the show is on non DIY -- do it yourself network so.

Vanilla -- project is right is the name of -- of the show she's this is pretty much what you spend or used to commute from what I've read or seen you still do some music but it's completely different when everybody remembers.

The rider yeah yeah well on the -- -- -- -- keep -- interesting to myself you know and it's all hip -- but it's all kind of a different form I did some -- few years back -- on doing like techno.

The house music yeah he's overseas this huge overseas -- want in the UK now.

Bad right -- if you can get -- -- that it's one thing I think is interest thing.

But I did wanna ask you about.

-- if we don't did you -- you've -- as everybody does it.

You secure like what sixteen years old -- when you -- did you like it did you like doing that kind of music because that's funny that you do something completely different than or you just like.

Our governor ride this out makes money doing this well.

-- I mean no -- you get in refit and it remain music for the money I I always enjoyed you know this a passion that I love to do in that entertaining people but.

You know it's it's a roller -- and you live and artificial life while you're out there on the on you know planned all the big crowds and everything in in.

Yet to come back into reality and for me that was a weekend that lasted a few years ago.
