Flippers also very often do not pull permits where they are required. Hide serious flaws. Make poor quality construction alterations that look good, sometimes even knocking out important structural components to do so. They also sometimes put in landscaping with very superficial prep so that the plant or even lawn, will stay alive for a while but has no decent soil to move into. The plants are doomed eventually.
They need starstruck FHA buyers who won’t have the nerve to ask any hard questions about the flip work.
The FHA inspector doesn’t really do the buyers a great service.
