Flipping a home in Auburn or Opelika, AL? Watch out.

Flipping a house looks easy on TV—until it’s not. If you’ve ever walked into a “just renovated” home and thought, who approved this?!… you’re not alone. Let’s talk about the house flipping fails that make buyers run and agents cringe.

• Water Damage Disasters: That “simple” bathroom update turned into a black mold saga. Goodbye profit.
• Structural Surprises: That open concept floor plan? Turns out that wall was holding up the roof. Oops.
• Bad Design Choices: Shiplap on every wall? Neon green tile? Not every trend translates into resale value.

🎯 Whether you’re buying a home, selling one, or investing in a flip here in Auburn or Opelika—get a REALTOR® who knows the difference between “cute update” and “code violation.”

What’s the worst flipping fail you’ve ever seen? I’ve got stories—but I want to hear yours.
