real estate flipping no money
Don’t all of those greedy real estate flippers deserve to lose their homes and all of their money?

These people are the very ones that kept raising their prices, pushing houses higher and higher, becoming greedier and greedier, refusing to sell until some greater fool came along and payed an even higher price. Now their getting destroyed, losing their shirts while the banks forclose on their house. GOOD. It’s no different then the millions of idiots buying XYZ.com stock daytrading. They lost everything, and these greedy flippers SHOULD ALL go bankrupt, and lose everything they’ve got!!! I would love to see housing prices tumble 30-40 percent before it’s all over. Crush them a little more, and allow NEW buyers to come in and pay dirt cheap prices to these flipping morons!!!!

Have you been watching too many home reno shows on TLC? Clearly you have very little factual knowledge on how the real estate industry works. I’m amazed that I am even answering such a completely ridiculous question/accusation. You do realize that you could have bought the same home that might have been sold to a flipper, right? They weren’t stealing the houses.

Everyone complains about the inflating cost of housing — not me, I bought my house before the bigger boom, and now enjoy a huge amount of equity in my home. Despite the TV lineup on Saturday night, Flippers account for an extremely small portion of real estate sales. They were willing to take a huge risk, and therefore deserve a huge reward. They are in NO way responsible for the rising cost of housing. They merely did renovations that no one else was willing to do. People who pay a higher price for a flipped house are merely paying for a service — it would have been no different if they bought a dumpy house for less $$ and paid a contractor to go in and update the 1970’s tilework and add a coat of paint.

I wouldn’t say they ‘deserve’ to lose their homes, but they knew the risks involved and must now suffer the consequences of a downturn in real estate markets. Wanting housing prices to drop 40% is an extremely selfish response to being jealous that the rest of us worked hard enough to be able to afford our own house, while you had nothing better to do than hope everyone else would go bankrupt because this is the only way you can get into the market.
