Flipping houses is exactly like you see on TV (insert sarcastic laugh).  

This is off topic but I am currently renting my house to John Alexander, the art director for the Salem tv show.

Why not pay for their cooking gas, internet, cable TV, phone, cellphones and electricity?

This local TV news story also claims that there's a $600 permit needed.I don't have any rental property in KC, MO, but I know it's popular among out-of-state landlords, so I figured I'd pass this on.Matt R.

I watch numerous property TV shows (such as the property brothers), or that one show where they buy a house via auction and all they're allowed to do is look at it from the outside, make the decision to bid, and instantly they can make $60,000 just by buying it or by a real downer where they have to fix a bunch of stuff before they sell again....

I do not know anything about the Las Angeles area except of what I have learned from TV and what I have learned here.  

John, you asked about “housing temperature” in TV these days.  

It was "TV-level" hoarding and not the usual situation of Americans with too much junk.

I spoke with an experienced realtor today, and he told me something I thought I would pass on.He told me that here in Colorado, part of the recent foreclosure increase has been homes owned by inexperienced real estate flippers.He said that many people are rushing into the REI business, spurred on by the various infomercials and TV shows that feature flipping homes.

Watch your TV for an hour and see how many of those scumbag contingency lawyers are on there oozing their slime.
