If I bought a house and found out later that it had a swimming pool, but the previous owner filled it with concrete, I’d be so upset.

The character they added to the house is a villain 😭

I was there when this happened and I can confirm that the "harassment" were people asking why they would ruin the fire place, why didn't they get someone who actually knew how to do the German smear, and qualified inspectors and folk in real estate saying "Hey, that's a fire hazard." Nor to mention everyone rightfully pointing out that nothing about what they're doing is related to the 70s, at all.

Literally everything you said they would have considered harassment.

Oh, the comments also mentioned another flip they did where they covered up mold in a ceiling to hide it and make it look new instead of just fettingrid of the mold and cleaning what was there.

i. ‘the artists studio was lacking the art’ YEAH BC THERE ISNT CURRENTLY AN ARTIST IN IT?? TF 😭 like as an artist i would never want an art studio with some random persons art on the wall whatttttttt

As someone who lives in a place with a lot of beautiful victorian town houses I hate flippers, they see original stained glass, sash windows, wood carved fascia boards, elegant fire places and stunning hand made plaster work and rip it all out to be replaced with the cheapest plastic windows and plastic board, they'll paint everything white, then replace a nice garden with asphalt and fake grass, split it into flats and then just sell it for a extra 100,000 and therefore locals can not afford anywehere in the town.

Master Carpenter's daughter here: DO NOT hire anyone that flippers recommend, ESPECIALLY if it's for an inspector! They will straight up lie to you about the condition of the house bc their flipper buddies will pay them to do so. Also, make sure any work is done by a licenced and bonded contractor, landscaper, etc. Good luck!

"Little area perfect for koi fish"
NO. That is WAY TOO SMALL for koi carp. I even dare to say it's too small for goldfish.
The greenhouse could have been for tropical plants or an indoor pond. What a waste

18:40 “we were able to expose the beautiful wood” babes you painted it wdym 😭

Our house was “DIY’d” by the previous owners and it was awful. We had to replace the toilets because the lids were glued shut with liquid cement, there were tiles layered on top of other tiles, the electrical box was hidden behind the wall. Y’know, the switch we’d need to flip if there was an electrical fire or something. They put it BEHIND THE WALL! If you can’t do it, don’t.

Also, house flippers are ruining the housing market and contributing to the cost of living crisis an insane amount. Literally, house flippers and landlords are killing the economy.

Anytime you purchase a flipped house assume they did NOT use quality products and that the house is probably not worth the money.

I'm just heartbroken that house was bought by flippers.
Instead of a family that wanted it to be their home, and was able to get it at a deal. Smh

8:31 So... the 'wooden' beam is supposed to look like it runs directly through the FIRE place... where fire goes.

They really said "we love the 70s vibe" and proceeded to get rid of everything that made it have that 70s vibe

Flippers don't fix the structural and important issues with a home, they just do some cute cosmetic changes and call it a day. The ONLY thing they care about is money. If they actually cared about this home, they wouldn't flip it. They'd update it and keep it as an Air BnB, a rental, or their own home. It's so frustrating when thousands of hardworking people can't afford to own a home and then we see stuff like this! That's why they're getting so harassed. I think our collective anger and frustration is just all on them!

Using foam is not recycling. You can literally get recycled wood that would’ve given them the same look that they were going for instead of using foam. The recycling bit it’s such a lie. These people have no idea what they are doing.

22:39 Just a little fact here, popcorn ceilings can possibly have asbestos in them. You have to get them tested before you take them down, and since this middle aged white woman didn't make her husband wear gloves or eyeware when he was cutting into the ceiling made of wall cotton candy (which can have fiberglass), I doubt she got anything tested. Good luck at the funeral!

There’s something so poetic about a house flipper defending a bad choice by saying “this technique has existed for centuries” and then doing it wrong.

Why did they paint a mural on a house flip? That’s a decision you let the person who is living in the home do… because it’s for them… especially if they’re an artist. Like, if you are going to make a blank space for people to project onto, actually make it a blank space?
They are absolutely not doing any necessary maintenance. They’re just “updating the aesthetic” to get more money.

Love the point about how Floridians want to leave the house darker - it's a great example of how house flippers can completely misunderstand local needs and hurt the housing market.
I live in Houston and SO many house flippers neglect flood mitigation, causing more damage because of their misinformation.

Flipping a house should be about REPAIRING a house, not putting ugly band-aids on it..

Also, my parents fixed up our house and they used the stone in their counter to also make a dinner table that was wide enough to fit our big ass family and also it matched the kitchen and honestly my parents should flip houses..
