grrrr...

Flippers drastically prevent people who NEED lower cost homes (like first time home buyers) from the opportunity: https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/real-estate/house-flippers-are-killing-your-chances-of-buying-a-home-14220731 .

I hate how they’ve made a game of this, including their cheesy, staged shows.

There's no way they flip homes in a rather short amount of time.... I wonder how many problems the homeowners have afterwards.

Wow yeah... now THAT might be a really interesting reality show... following up and exposing issues buyers have run into with shoddy quick-fix flipping!

Yeah, I definitely believe this situation. Maybe if they had a mandatory waiting period for people for whom it wouldn't be a primary residence, and/or setting some kind of limit on the value of work needing to be done in order to qualify. I dunno. But good luck in any case! :-\
