If a FLIP for me?
Does the picture above just make you cringe? ? This is often a huge red flag for me that a home may come with lots of loose ends due to a poor flip job. ? I mean, was the builder so busy that he couldn’t properly measure this tight corner?
A flipped home is simply a renovated and aesthetically-improved version of a seemingly distressed property. ? Sometimes it’s merely cosmetic changes such as a paint, new carpet, and landscaping- which is why you’ll see a home quickly come back on the market after it’s been “flipped.” ?
Determining if YOU should buy a house that’s been flipped comes down to several key indicators, and the most critical is to assure a home has been safely built. A licensed home inspector will help us find any flaws a home may have by inspecting matters we cannot visually see — such as, does the house have a secure foundation, stable walls, consistent water pressure, etc.
