Why would anyone buy a house renovated by a “fix and flip” company, when they are so poorly done? - Question on Quora.com

If there are major problems with a home the house flipper has a legal responsibility to disclose the issues when they sell the property. There may be a few bad, greedy house flippers out there that try to hide things and break the law by not disclosing known defects, but those individual are also criminals that will not be in business very long.

I believe the vast majority of successful house flippers take pride in their renovations and truly care about their end product, their buyers and their reputation.

Just like in every other business industry, there will always be a few bad seeds that put profit over people, but don't let those few bad individuals ruin it for the rest of us!
