From time to time I check out the local real estate listings because I like to keep tabs on the market. It is so easy to pick out the flips. You'd think they would have caught on to avoiding the same old same old by now. But the segment of the market most flippers work in is so hot right now that people buy the flip and either live with the cheap stuff a few years until it breaks or just consider replacing it another expense of buying the house (which goes right back to the unsustainability of ripping out functional stuff and replacing it with more stuff).
