Crazy flip with no no regard for even the basics.

- You might be shocked to see how little some flippers care about the home they “create”. If you can call it that. Here is a prime example. #homeinspection #realestate #protectyourinvestment
I’m a hvac contractor. I use to get a lot of calls from house flippers to give them a new ac quote. Not any more. I refuse them all. They do not want to pay for a good job. Not in their budget. So I quit wasting my time on that nonsense.
Im a painter and im on the same page... The literally want the cheapeast bid...
This is like an all in one training course. A single house that has every rule broken.
I'd be LMMFAO if it wasn't for the fact that some poor, unsuspecting person will likely buy that unmitigated disaster :/
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.
3:50 “we heard you like traps, so we trapped your trap” 🤣 loved that pimp my ride reference.
Thumbs up for attention to detail and knowing what you are doing. 😊
Thanks for a great video!! Hope this makes some people think as to why competent home inspections are important!!
thumbs *up* for the foul language. lol.
I concur 😅
I love how all of the viral home inspectors have their own unique catch phrase 😂 The foul language really hits home with me.
Thumbs up for showing me hot spots to look at, and I will make sure to get an inspector as good as you when I buy a house.
Home flippers have given themselves a new definition: Something you scrape off the bottom of your shoes... 😂😂😂
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.
People dislike Inspectors, but why? Ultimately we are all a collective team to provide an amazing home 🏡, Safe Home, that has to have the basic things completed before we make it Look Great. Good Video
Because a lot of Inspectors aren’t very good at their expertise. I have re-inspected homes after people paid the inspector $500 and they missed all kinds of things.
it's not inspectors, it's hack inspectors. Pillar to Post cost me my entire life savings.
This looks about standard for rentals in my area! Nothing but slap together death traps.
The 2 hot legs for that 30 Amp breaker that was for the drier...both hot legs wasn't connected to it, wtf
When’s the next video? This channel will GROW if you keep it up
I respect your knowledge. Thanks for highlighting something that is a huge problem , and bigger since the great recession. Keep it up , I won't buy unless it is inspected . Just can't fathom what's hiding under the dry wall and siding. Scarey
Hopefully you create more vids. Checked out your Services for an idea of what a Home Inspector should be doing. I'm in N.C.
Here on the west coast: "Beautiful Starter Home! -$425,000"
Great job!
I appreciate you. More new home buyers that don't poke around themselves need to see this.
That is crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy bad.
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. 😮
the continuity at 0:37 is how they saved a whole wire at 1:27
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.
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?
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.
The old 3 prong dryer outlets didn’t have an actual ground wire.
Can't see it from my house!
Great info, but better video if you slowed down so your viewers could actually have time to see what your pointing out. Not much help otherwise.
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...😄
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.
Not to excuse any of that crap work, but I've seen much worse. Ever seen frost in an oven? I have. Hot water in the toilet? I've seen it. Open wire connections under a bathtub, extension cords and/or loose wires run inside the walls, daylight showing through under the baseboard, and I could go on. There are some really crappy contractors and house flippers out there.
Inspectors are the biggest bunch of bloviating know it alls.
You need to be our coach. That’s a shame.
Gonna ask a dumb question, At 0:37 is that l an Australian outlet? It sure as heck looks like it.
not a dumb question. That's an old surface mounted 3 wire receptacle for a dryer. Nowadays it's a 4 wire outlet and usually in the wall...
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.
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.
😂😂😂😂😂truth bombs thank you
The place needs to be condemned, unsafe for human habitation.
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
What a horrid smart alec
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!
Huge pot of bullshit 😆
Craptastic! How do people sleep at night, doing that to there fellow man?
I know, I kown.. but hwo on EARTH is this legal? I´m european, and wth is this? I could build a shed better than this??
Don’t by a flip from amateurs or “immigrants”.
I've never come across a full pot of bullshit, seems entertaining, flipped houses are the worst.
Bogus
code or not, american power boards scare me..everything seems a bit to accesible for the "home enthusiast"
I can appreciate that some people are more capable than others, but i (as a contractor in a non related trade) do not complain at all that we require licences for electrical and plumbing in my part of the world.
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.
The safety cover is removed or missing in the video. Circuit breaker panels are perfectly safe if properly installed and no one but a licensed electrical contractor should remove or work with the panel removed.
@@kennixox262 a homeowner should always have complete access to every nut and bolt of their home and the mechanicals in their home. It’s your property.
As a homeowner, you have to know when it’s appropriate to mess with things and when you need a permit and a licensed contractor. But you should always have access. We don’t need some nanny state regulators sticking their noses where they don’t belong.
@@neilaxelrod5872 GOOD GOD MAGA MAN! That is not what I was saying. I guess you missed English and too much time with football. What I said is that a homeowner has no "business" working with the safety cover off (for their own good). Naturally MAGA GUN NUTS like you hate regulations. Fine! Should I need service in my 400 amp panel, I shall call in an expert to deal with it. Back to your GUN polishing and FOX NEWS for you.
Thumbs down for the stupid distracting captions. Sorry.
Please no more awful videos
Thumbs down for foul language 😢
It's called English. The meaning of words is much more important than what words you use.
Dont ever visit Ireland if you think thats foul language 🤭
That's why I hit the thumbs up button.
Hey Paco…. No es bueno….! HOW THE FK DO THESE HOUSES ARE ABLE TO BE ON THE MARKET…?
