Tasteful Friends: Count the Cut Corners in this Flipper's Special in Suburban Fort Worth
You can practically smell the Home Depot credit card on this one.
What percentage of this shit will be outdated and tacky in five years? The all-black bathroom fixtures? The idiotic commercial kitchen sprayer? The duct-tape greige flooring?
They didn't spend a time on actual improvements, like new windows or weeding the cracks on the "patio," but they sure poured their heart into that "Statement Shower."

Lovely neighborhood. Four trucks in one driveway across the street, with american flag accessories.
Garbage in many, many plastic trash bags at the curb.
I'd run screaming.
But it IS a great example of an HGTV Flipper Special.

LUXURY Vinyl Planking is the greatest oxymoron in the history of the world.

I've seen far more money spent to worse effect. This place is cheap, under $300k, very easy to overcapitalise on something like this. Its not what I'd call nice in any way, but its not terrible for the price = griege everywhere of course, dull as dishwater, but I've seen multi million places done like that too. Dreary and unimaginative gets a bit less excusable when you have ten times the budget or more

If they are trying to sell to a family with young children then ripping out the bathtub to put in that hideously ugly walk in shower. Also a kid isn’t going to be able to reach the toilet paper hung several feet away from the toilet. The kitchen looks like something you might see in an office, minus the range. Which is in the wrong place and looks stupid. No backsplash will be a problem.
I know a cool gray has been trendy for over a decade but it looks so dingy and institutional.

R6 I'm no Design Queen, but it really feels like a stove built into a pass-through like this one should really be a cooktop only, with a wall oven off to the side. This full bulky range slid into the slot looks bulky and out of place. Also, if you're going to spring for all new appliances, why not add a fridge and microwave?

Too many flippers do the easy shit and leave the grunt work of roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, doors and structral repairs to unsuspecting buyers who have been razzle-dazzled by these cosmetic improvements.

I love the stump in the shitty back yard. They could pay the extra $200 to have it ground down,

Honestly not bad, pretty typical for Bedford.

The height of laziness for a flipper is ripping out a wall oven in the kitchen, then leaving a gaping whole where said oven used to be. What are you supposed to do with a doorless hole in the kitchen cabinetry?
I'll bet they even painted over the cabinet door hinges tp "save time."
