Saw this remodeled house in my price range today. I looked up the details to find the investor paid 200k for it 3 months ago. He did a semi-nice job and is now selling for 350k. I’m into buying something not this finished, but it is sorta appealing.
The realtor kept telling me how the investor/flipper/demon didn’t cut corners. But um, he did put in laminate instead of hardwood and left all the creepy popcorn ceilings. Then we get to the bathroom, his “signature” she proudly tells me.
After I politely vomit into my purse, she actually tells me “fixing this house up is his way of giving back.” Yeah right crazy lady! Not sure even she believed it.

Hilarious, yet sad! the house is supercute from the outside - where is it?
Flippers are often retarded when it comes to remodeling a fixer. I don’t get it, if you are going to do it, do it right! In my neighborhood flippers have done full faux-Tuscan remodels and vinyl fences (ugh!) on midcentury modern houses… love the line “politely vomit into my purse” (I’ve wanted to do that!)

Popcorn ceilings - ick, but not a loss.
Bathroom - GROSS! That’s one hell of a signature.
Rest - really, really cute.
You thinking about it???

Outside pics are so deceiving and this goes to show. I love the face that the custom paint and mouldings are done but the popcorn stays? Um…huh?
Laughing at Andrea’s comment too cause i’ve actually witnessed some of those tuscan remodels she is referring to–gross.
