The house i bought in December is a flipped house. It sold the year before for $70k and i bought it for $185k. The seller had it listed for $199k for 3 months before dropping the price.

Every square inch of the house has been redone. The floor plan was opened up, every wall/ceiling/floor/window/door was replaced. A second bath was added to make it a 3 bed 2 bath. 90% of the homes in my neighborhood only have 1 bath. New appliances, new 6' privacy fence to enclose the lot with a deck patio and pizza oven or firepit? Not sure what it is yet because it has been too cold to go out there and find out :). New roof new siding etc. They even replaced the roof and siding on the shed to make it match the house. All 4 of the 100'+ tall trees were trimmed back nicely and landscaping is all new. Finishes are all granite/stainless and even marble in the bathrooms.

I cant figure out how they made any money on this place. The basement is half crawl space and the flipper took the time to put in a floor and add 12 well built shelving units so the space can be used for storage. Every device pipe and outlet in the mechanical room is labeled. The inspector we hired was hard pressed to create a list of issues with the house.

A friend built a house in the PHX area and through the years, he has met and become friends with people who are in various trades through doing auto repairs while he wasn't working for GM at their proving ground. When it was time to build, he called in a lot of favors and it cost him a lot less than if he had just paid the normal way. He did some of the work, but building houses isn't his specialty, so he let the experts do it. It's possible the flipper did the same with your house.

I really like paved crawl spaces. So much easier to go in with a creeper and scoot around.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
