  • New to house flips and home renovations? Bought a cheap house you THINK could make you tens or hundreds of thousands? Before you start, you better watch this. HUGE red flags await you in almost every house. But you can avoid some of the TOP budget-busters by taking advice from Tarl Yarber, who’s already flipped hundreds of houses.
    From fist-sized holes in the walls to feces throughout the premises, rusted pipes, stairs that are asking to break your ankles, and ceiling heights that even hobbits would have a problem with, old houses are NOT something newbies should mess with. There are dozens of red flags in these houses that could cost you tens of thousands in repairs, so take note of each and every one discussed in this video because it could lead to a HUGE price reduction when it’s time to negotiate with the seller.
    Have any other house flipping/rehab red flags you ALWAYS look out for? Let us know about them in the comments below!

    Great advise. Non conforming homes can cause difficulty with insurance. You have to make sure it is a legal non conforming use.

    Tarl: Loved it! I’d love to see way more videos like this.
    How can we check for moisture, esp in basement, if they tried to hide it?
    I’ve heard that in Seattle it’s cheaper to have original owner pay for sewer line fix or replacement?
    Can you teach us more about how to identify knob and tube and how to identify if electrical and plumbing are likely up to code?how to know if stairs likely up to code?
    What specifically to look for in HVAC system beyond heat working in each room?
    What are the most common things owners try to his, how they hide them, and how to find them?
    Range of costs to address each of this in your area?

    I’m looking at a home built in 1950s. What would be some of the main issues to look for in a home that old? How much is a sewer scope?
