[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it depends because the flip might have forced the house to be brought up to code which was as win for us (all new electrical wiring,electrical panel, plumbings, sewer pipe to the street, insulation etc...)[/quote]

It might have if everything was permitted. OP, I would go to the Montgomery County government site and check all the permits for the house you're interested in. Less than four months of ownership is a really short time to have done everything in the most kosher manner.[/quote]

Seriously?  I live in a DC neighborhood where houses are being flipped ALL THE TIME.  They have people in and out of the house working EVERY SINGLE DAY.  120 days working all day every day with multiple crews on a 1200sf townhome with a finished basement is plenty of time to get the job done.  (I know, because I have family and friends who do this kind of work for a living, and I trust what they have to say about more than some white collar office dweller like all of us.)  These are row houses, so the only major structural change you can make outside of opening some rooms up is adding an addition on the back.  The windows are always packed with permits.

Face it.  Those of you railing against "cheap flips" are rich snobs who think the only acceptable home is one that includes top of the line everything.  Maybe you haven't been paying attention to the world recently, but most people can't afford that shit.  Fucking snobs.  [/quote]
