House flipping gutting house - no insulation

[Brandon P.]

Hey all.  I'm removing all of the old Sheetrock in a home, and I notice the walls and ceiling have no insulation. Insulation is expensive and I'm wondering if i should pay to add it or just go back up with the Sheetrock. It's a small house in a lower priced neighborhood

@Brandon P. I am an experienced flipper. The others have told you that insulation is cheap and you should do it - and I don't disagree. What I would like to point out is the ethical / karma factor. I find all sorts of things on my flips that would be easy to hide or ignore. But I don't ignore them. I take pride in my work. I take care of the "unsexy" stuff first; and by doing that I take care of my end buyer...
