Flip That house is annoying.

[waggy]

ugh. sometimes this show is frickin annoying.

watching one where a guy paid for $345k for a house. he has a budget of $10k and wants it done in 4 weeks.

he wants the kitchen redone, new carpet, new windows, bathrooms redone and an addition. All done in 4 weeks and under 4 weeks!

ugh.

I like it. It's the one of the few shows on TV that my GF can both sit down and enjoy. That and Property Ladder.

ohh i enjoy the show. just annoying when people have unrealistic expectations.

sorry but ripping out a kitchen, bathroom, add-on etc is going to cost more then $10k heh

well i suppose they can do it..but damn not safely

 

[MrPickins]

I can't stand that show because it seems like most flippers are major assholes.

As a subcontractor, I've worked with people like that, and it drives me up the wall. :|

I like placing bets on how far over schedule and over budget they go at the beginning of the show. I've been pretty accurate so far!

I swear everyone pulls their budget and schedule out of their asses. They don't even look at the property first.

Ohhh.. I HATE THAT SHOW!

I'm a bitter, cynical little bastard, and it pisses me off to see how happy, sucessful and rich other people are. That's why shows like that make me angry and depressed. If I cant have something, I don't want to see other people getting it, and enjoying it.

The one with the Asian couple in CA? No, that was a different house they were in at the 2-year update. But yeah, their plan of creating a duplex from a simplex and making $100K was a bit unrealistic.

But hey, live and learn. What continually amazes me the most is the utter moronic prices of shit property in California. I like the one where they spend $30K on a crap house in Tennessee or someplace, spend $9k fixing it up, then sell it for $60k. That not a bad profit for a low-overhead, low-risk, quick turnaround investment.

I've always wanted to get into flipping (on a small scale,) but I suppose now that there are multiple cable shows dedicated to it, I've missed the large window of opportunity.

eh.....throw in $2,000 roof, charge $10,000 more....throw in $2,500 kitchen, charge $12,500 more.....LOL.

I hate flippers (but my wife loves the shows).

yeah it was them. And yes they said it sat on the market 2 years.

but yeah they were doing another flip.

I only like the episodes where the flippers get completely hosed and lose money or barely make anything. Come to think of it, I liked hearing about all the people taking baths during the .COM era as well so I guess there's a trend.

I can't be the only person that gets perverse joy about watching people chase "easy money" and failing.

That being said, if someone does the job professionally, competently, and truly does add value to a house to then turn around and earn a profit, I can admire their business acumen and investment skills. I just can't stand the idiots that bumble around without a clue and fall into money. I would expect there are more than a few of those who are struggling severely right now with the free-falling housing markets.
