Lol when I was looking for my house 3 years ago, my inspector told me that if I look at any flipped houses to ignore all the bling and recent updates they added and look for stuff they missed or tried to hide. I can say that that was the best advice I could have ever been given when I was looking. I didn't even buy a flipped house, but someone else did buy them.

It's shelter, but it's not a modern house. The problem is that third-rate places like this could have been affordable. Now it's not, because someone's gonna buy it for the asking price based on a misunderstanding.

I learned from really bad experience, that when you’re considering buying a home, get your own inspector! Someone who works for YOU, not the realtor! The inspector that your realtor hires is depending on him/her for future business, and he knows the realtor just wants to make the sale and move on. Yes, he will point out a few obvious defects, that the seller will then fix. But when I hired my own, independent inspector, I was shocked at how much more he found that was wrong with the house! It will cost you money to hire your own inspector, but it will cost you way way more to buy a house with serious defects that will only be discovered years later!

What an awesome video! My daddy was a master Carpenter and his worst offense was not putting knobs on the cabinet that he made for my mother for over a year. Anyway he used to complain about bad construction when he came across it and he would call them shoemakers and he would describe the work as ham and egg job 😂 On another note the house next to me is being fixed up by a contractor for a flip. He has a very narrow financial window for making a profit so I can't even begin to imagine the corners that he's cut on the inside. One thing I know for sure is he cut corners on the roof because instead of scraping off the old shingles that were completely covered with moss, he had his guys scrape the moss off the shingles and then immediately put new shingles on top of them. 😮

He's right. I got into one of these, but the price was right and I expected to do the repairs. House doubled in value and I am paying 4% of the remaining balance as payments so I have just under 2 years left. If you are a multi-tradesman it isn't so bad. Its no big deal to renovate a bathroom or add a sub panel with 50 amp service to a garage so you can weld. Flippers are just looking to make a quick buck. Living in the home and taking the time to do everything correctly and meet code will provide more value in the long run.

so they sold that once, buyer backed out or deal fell apart for whatever reason, and now they sold it again and this time it might close. i have no idea if this inspection was part of the first sale or 2nd sale. both took place this year. either way we can safely say.. nothing was fixed that was in this video

Electrical apprentice here. I'm interested in your comment that a 20 amp outlet on a 15 amp circuit is sometimes allowed and sometimes not. AFAIK the NEC never prohibits this. When is/isn't it allowed? Do you have a code citation?
@jimdarhower4945Ай бұрын
Why does that house need 20,000 in foundation repair? Also, why wouldn’t there be continuity in that dryer outlet the way you tested it? There should be continuity between hot/neutral to ground. Correct?
@purplepeeps_Ай бұрын
Hot and neutral/ground shouldn't be directly connected. They are indirectly connected when something is plugged into the circuit though, so it depends on how low the resistance is.

It's enough to cause an inspector to "flip out" isn't it...🤪 Yet buyers would still likely make an "offer" somewhere under asking price even if you passed it with flying colors. Flippers JUST can't help themselves, can they? And neither can buyers...😄

Wow, just wow. It’s often been said to be very wary of buying any house that shows it was bought less than a year before you are looking at it and it now looks bright and shiny on the obvious and easy to see parts - but the devil is in the details that often require an experienced inspector. I live in a small town with ~ 2,500 houses of which about 2,300 are actually being lived in. There are flippers coming in occasionally because they have heard how inexpensively some of the unloved houses can be purchased. I’ve seen many of these flippers burn themselves by thinking country folk are too stupid to notice how cheaply or incorrectly the flipper houses have been remodeled. There is no legal definition of what remodeled means - so they often take great liberties and think that as long as they spray paint everything some gray color that we will pay their asking price. Nope. Bright shiny junk is still junk. They may snag a potential buyer here or there - but when the bank requires an independent inspection the house usually goes back on the market at a lower price. I’m positive that about half the flipper houses in my little city have lost money. Some sellers have even been held liable for the cost of proper repairs for serious problems discovered after purchase. One of my favorites was a house across the street from me that had been long vacant and on and off squatted in by a druggie. I was talking to the new owner after they bought it from a flipper, they were having a problem with backed up plumbing. So I told them that the paranoid squatter thought there were demons in the plumbing so he poured some kind of cement mix down the toilet. The seller ended up having to pay for the removal and replacement of 80’ of drain piping all the way to city pipe.

No surprise at all; looked at a real estate listing in Northwest Indiana a while back, finding PEX lines running from the wall about 4 feet with no support across an open area to a water heater. So the PEX was suspended in mid-air by...itself, including the vertical lines running to and from the water heater. Then the gas line debris trap/drip loop was somehow installed improperly as well. The whole house had been "remodeled"; wonder what other gems were hidden by the drywall, etc.

It is a 240v outlet you have two hots at 120v each to ground/neutral, neutral not required (although this outlet does have neutral but no ground). It's split-phase-single-phase unlike in Australia where it's 240v to ground/neutral.

Plumbers and electricians are licensed in every U.S. state too. And most work requires a permit. Are you implying that a homeowner shouldn’t have access to their own home’s breaker panel? How would a homeowner turn off (or on) circuit breakers that trip or to do a minor repair? The issue is people attempting to DIY work without a permit or professional tradespeople.
