      i was working as a transaction coordinator for a real estate company in southeast texas after harvey hit and ohhh boy, it was bad. people with absolutely no qualifications or experience were flocking to buy fully gutted houses so they could “flip” them cheap. the sheer amount of houses being sold (most commonly to first time homebuyers) with shoddy construction and horrible patch jobs was genuinely upsetting. and for whatever godforsaken reason, any amount of brick or stone was *always* covered with either german smear or whitewash. even on the exterior. i’ll never understand it honestly.

      really the worst surface to use that technique on, when you need that large of gaps filled in between the stones it absolutely does not work. the smear is all about using a small amount of mortar its supposed to enhance the masonry not overpower it!!!!!!!

    Remember when house flipping used to be buying houses that were uninhabitable, old, falling apart, and turning them into livable spaces ? Now it’s taking normal livable houses, doing this to them and then selling them at 10x the price you spent.

      yeah, it went from a hobby/job that a handful of people who really enjoyed carpentry/construction wanted to do, to save money. Now a bunch of yuppies have found out they can pull a crypto - artificially inflate the value by fluffing up it's outward appearance using cheap tricks, without actually providing anything of value, then selling it before people realize that all they've bought is a house of cards and an empty promise.

      it’s because houses that are in that state aren’t in the kinds of neighborhoods with lots of money. the people doing this don’t care to build livable houses for people who actually need housing, they’re doing it to make the biggest profit possible. and on the off-chance they do flip houses in poor neighborhoods, all they’re gonna do is gentrify the area to shit and push the poorer individuals out of their communities.

      This has always been the case, it was just that back then not many people did this, and if they did they made it a Career so they had to make it up to regulation with the increase of scrutiny. Even then, if the laws weren’t in place they took dangerous short cuts, and even still deregulation is a problem.

    The biggest reason it doesn't look good is because those are not Bricks! They are stone and stone has a flow to it that was beautifully captured in the original fireplace. By covering it they blocked so much of the natural flow that it changed not only the color but the entire shape of the fireplace. Wow.

    I have moved a lot in my life. The first thing I noticed about this house is that the fireplace looks odd because there's no furniture in the room. The walls are white. If you put in a few pieces of furniture and put something on the wall and lay down some carpets, the original fireplace would look like it was part of a room. You don't want to redo a fireplace based on how it looks in an empty room. Of course it stands out. It's the only thing in the room! Don't try to fix it.

    I worked in insurance property claims and see so many people with damage to their home caused by flippers doing shoddy work. Especially in the bathroom. They'll incorrectly install a tub not meant to be built in, and then suddenly it's leaking and causing mold and water damage. But then insurance says we can't cover it because it's due to improper workmanship, not a covered cause of loss. It's really upsetting.

    There was this one house flipper that actually restored Victorian houses in America. Instead of gutting them with cheap, new materials, she would usually find actual antique wood and glass etc and use that to replace damaged features. And anything that couldn't be replaced with a contempory original piece, was restored using well crafted, solid pieces made to mimic the time the house was built in. It was really beautiful. And it actually used to be my dream to restore an old Victorian house in that same way, but now that sounds like an absolute money pit to me. I actually like the totally opposite style for myself now, which is midcentury modern. I know it's not as popular as it was a few years ago, but I still love it and it's an easier way to scratch that restoration itch

    Destroying a classic fireplace, adding a foam beam, and hiding mold to sell a cheap but beautiful house for more expensive is just classic flipper. But most do nothing, just sit on it (usually unoccupied), change nothing, & resell it months to a year later for huge profit with NO work. It's depressing. They go for the lowest rung of the price range, which is what poorer people need, so I wish these flippers would stop.

    Nothing quite gets to me like destroying old natural materials. Wood gets to me because it makes me think of human history and everything that had to go into that tree's life, harvesting, and finishing. But stone gets to me even more because it is often older than we can fully conceptualize and had to have the exact perfect circumstances to look exactly as unique and special as each rock does. You can get a similar vibe with newly purchased stones, but it will never be that same rock again
    I'm less attached to some of the man-made materials, especially ones that were low cost and never meant to last, but I still find value in making a conscious and collective effort to save some of those materials. They represent advancements in technology, design, economy, personal/cultural values, and they're such a cool time capsule to see a snapshot of what we were like generations past

    They dont require licenses to renovate houses as a flipper because they count as HOME OWNERS not real estate or contracting or some such. Basically, because the flippers are actually the people who buy and own the houses while the renovations are occurring, there is no required regulations (other than whatever the place they build in is required, like zoning and such permits if the location requires for anyone). This is because there's nothing that says "WE ARE GOING TO FLIP AND RESELL" when they buy and no way to tell the flippers from the genuine home owners (not on paper and not as far as the gov't is concerned until a resale happens).
    Basically, the gist of it is this: *_They cannot regulate the flippers without also regulating what you do with your own home as a regular home owner... because flippers are not required to either give notice when they buy a property that they intend to flip and resell, nor are they required to stick to such a declaration if they DO make it._* Meaning that they are indistinguishable from any other home owner who renovates FOR THEMSELVES and then like 10 years down the line or whatever ends up selling the house they renovated (for whatever reason).
    It's a loophole the flippers use, I mean. They exist as "home owners" not business people or building contractors etc. So they are not governed by the same safety regulations and licensing. *_THIS IS WHY, IF YOU BUY A HOME, YOU ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS HAVE YOUR OWN HIRED GUYS GO THROUGH FOR INSPECTIONS BEFORE YOU FINALIZE ANYTHING._* Because THAT is the only way to protect yourself from bad renovation jobs and people covering up mold.

    So, I live in a house built in the 50s. It's only been owned by relatively older people over the years. I have a beam in my living room that looks EXACTLY like the one in this video. Even down to the straps they used to cover the seams. I wish i could comment a picture on here lol this is blowing my mind

    I’m glad they posted how shoddy and tasteless they are! Always get a house inspected before buying!

    What’s crazy is that, at least to me, cottage core is all about looking natural and woodsy, not white and flat. The fireplace looked perfectly cottage core to me before they smeared it.

    this is why you are one of my favorite youtubers when it comes to weighing in on “drama” bc lots of people just react to the public reaction as is and don’t do like, any research or look for proper context whatsoever

    If someone ruined a house like that in renovations, I am going to look at reducing the price.

    Modern day house flipping is essentially dropshipping with way more work. How the hell can she imply that living in a hobbit hole would be aesthetically awful when they do THIS to a perfectly livable, beautiful home.

    I knew a lady who slept in a tent because she had such a horrible reaction to mold and no way to afford a move. People have a right to be upset if they think flippers are intentionally hiding it.

    I dont like the idea that theres much difference between hobbit core and cottage core. Hobbits live in a serene green wooded area with a small tight knit community with relatively 0 societal pressures bearing down on them. If anything hobbit core is everything cottage core is AND MORE.... and better ... And cooler also....

    Mold is absolutely horrible. I lived in an old ass house with black mold that was impossible to clean and i was sick for essentially 5 years.

    I hope the videos they posted will be used in court against them for selling people homes with mold problems and shoddy work.
    People work their entire lives to save for a house, it is unacceptable for people to be sold houses like that.
    I would've just bought the place as is, I would never buy any home that these people "renovated"
    Don't buy flipped houses, treat these people like the slimiest landlords. Only out to screw you over and swindle you out of all your hard earned money.

    The hearth was excessive and had to go. . .
    "A fireplace hearth is the floor or ledge on your fireplace that extends into the room as well as the wall around the fireplace. Hearths essentially were created to serve a purpose rather than strictly as decoration. They make the fireplace area a safe space and also prevent fire hazards."
