What is Keith Bynum's net worth? 'Bargain Block' host uses own money to restore neighborhoods around Detroit
Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas's show 'Bargain Block' premiered on HGTV last week and the episode was received quite well by audiences who tuned in. "#BargainBlock I’m loving the cool couple flipping houses in Detroit. It’s a great show," read a comment. "I’ve never seen this show before, and I love it! These guys are funny AND they have so many great ideas for budget renovations! I re-do houses and have a list of new ideas after watching tonight," wrote another.
These are just examples of the comments that flooded Twitter after the show went online. Judging by these comments, it appears that it's not wrong to assume that the couple is already a huge hit with audiences even though it's their first stint on television. Bynum and Thomas have been instrumental in restoring neighborhoods in Detroit one home at a time, creating budget homes by pumping in their own money so that first-time homeowners could easily afford a home without thinking about the cost.

What is Keith Bynum's net worth?
Keith Bynum had a stable job in his hometown of Denver and so did his boyfriend Evan Thomas. The two of them got into home renovation after Bynum was bit by the woodworking and carpentry bug. Apart from their home renovation business, the couple also own NINE Furniture+Design in Detroit. The couple use furniture from their furniture store to stage houses that are ready to sell and should the homebuyers choose to keep the furniture, they'd had to shell out an extra $3000.
The couple often purchases rundown homes for as little as $1000 from Detroit Land Bank and carry out all the renovations by themselves, sometimes hiring local help whenever needed. They are known to keep the cost of renovations under $40,000 to $45,000 and then sell them for a profit between $70,000 to $100,000. The most profit they make per house is estimated to be around $55,000.
Bynum has been successfully running this business alongside Thomas for more than four years and with the earnings from his previous job in Denver, his net worth is estimated to be $1.5 million. The couple's earnings from their HGTV show is not known yet, however, it wouldn't be wrong to assume that they're up for a hike after the wild response to the series' premiere episode.
