You mean to tell me The Hills isn't true? Next thing you're going to tell me is the old trading spaces was scripted. I don't believe it! :) 399470 2010-05-16T01:09:19-07:00 Richard I am actually a much better speller, but posting that comment from my phone didn't help:( 399460 2010-05-16T01:05:09-07:00 Richard As a first time home buyer attempting to make my first purchase I have a very different perspective ion the practice of investing in homes. Unfotunatly, my wife and I have been on the loosing end of bidding wars with the investors or so called "flippers." now that lowerend homes have come back. To reality the flippers are snatching them up, flipping them, and placing them back on the market for me to buy. Well myself and many other buyers have made a packt to not purchase flipped homes as they contributeto the following issues: 1) They take an affordable home off the market and render it unaffordable. They claim to provide a service by fixing up the house, but it's usually the contractors doing all the work. I can call a contractor on the phone too. The flipped just want to charge us four times as much for the work other people do. 2) They hyperinflate an already inflated market, buy over bidding other buyers and decreasing the supply and demand balance. 3) They suck all the liqudity out of the market. If people want to invest, they should go play with their own kind on wallstreet. Let us have the stablity of home ownership back. 399450 2010-02-03T05:00:45-08:00 Matt Does anyone remember a house hunting programme with Tara palmer-Tomkinson where she looked at 3 houses, for her to have as a holiday home? It had one on an Island, possible ibiza, with a house that was built in 60's, had a sort of James Bond feel and the rooms were all in interconnected 'pods'? 399430 2009-08-05T15:11:54-07:00 Gary Pick What is the name of the show with the brothers from Philadephia who flip houses? In one of the last episodes one of the brothers got married, if that helps. 399440 2009-07-16T07:21:07-07:00 debbie That show was called Hidden Potential. It was on HGTV. 399420 2009-07-12T15:41:24-07:00 amanda does anyone remember a show where cleints view 3 houses for sale in a specific price range and an expert via computer graphics shows them how to turn the home(s) they can afford into one they want that fits their needs?? 399410 2008-02-21T21:26:14-08:00 Raymond Mimoji, I suspect the flipping shows are like the Hills from MTV - scripted reality. The film crew probably cue dramatic plots into the mix but the characters make up the rest. It's amazing sometimes how these show producers can spin seemingly boring subjects into drama filled shows. 399400 2008-02-21T19:43:30-08:00 Brian I've noticed on Flip that House that they have a disclaimer that airs first.
