When are you going to show what happened to the houses affected by Helene around Greenville county, Simpsonville, Mauldin , Greer, etc. At least for some of us that have been thinking moving to the area. Thanks.
The old mill house flips are the worst in large part because they were so poorly built to begin with. There is too much to address that the point between the money you would have to put into the house to fix it properly and what you could sell it for makes a truly proper flip almost impossible except in the highest priced parts of town that allow for the extra money to be spent. I have gone with several friends to look at such homes over the years as I am very experienced with framing and general construction and I have yet to see one where the foundation was ever full addressed. I'm not saying that they don't exist but after looking at roughly 30 of them I haven't seen it. And don't assume that because a licensed contractor did the work that they did it correctly even if it was inspected. A lot of them cut corners where they can get away with it. Make sure your inspector is very well versed in construction and codes otherwise you'll get a long inspection report of insignificant items that get addressed but deal with real problems later. And if you can have the repairs inspected because the fix often isn't worth a dime.

You can use UA-cam and search for what you want to see. There is plenty of information out there.
@@CarolJoyable Hello. I checked but you can’t find everything you need in UA-cam. Like is happening in NC , not everything is shown. Thanks anyway.
