The pics don't do it justice of how fugly it looks on the outside. I likewise wouldnt trust the interior work as the work was done in a very short time period.

Not to drag up an old thread, but shows what we know about the local real estate market.....saw that someone bought the above place on 5/27 for $385,000. Crazy.

From the article,

Quote:
There were 105 home flips in the Pittsburgh region in the first quarter of 2015 for an average purchase price of $101,164 and an average flip price of $156,972.
56k doesn't leave much room to do improvements, and still make a profit. They must not be doing much work to these places.
