I would NOT assume that anything behind walls were fixed. In fact, that is always a concern I have when I see flippers. I wonder if things got fixed right or if I have to undo all the lipstick to have plastic surgery.

* They got rid of the oleander in the front. (Something I think jp can relate too iirc). Cleaning up the yard was probably at least $1k, maybe more. [/quote]
I can totally relate. First thing I noticed was yard work. But hardly justifying 100k extra.
[quote=UCGal]
All told they probably spent around 30-50k. But a lot of buyers want things “done” and are unwilling to do the work themselves, or hire folks to do the work. [/quote]
This is true and why flippers exist and developers exist. People want new and turnkey. The problem is that there is little guarantee it is done properly, such as the new development thread about Montoro. And flippers cutting corners w/out really fixing major issues that need to be taken care of that could be costly, so they cover it up.
