Flippers are the worst. They do nothing but waste homebuyers' money.

Shortcuts everywhere.

The quickest way to check if it’s a flipped home is the trim work. If there is more silicone than wood that’s just the beginning.

Bathroom tile is best way. The cuts, the layout, the straightness, the grout lines. I've seen some abortions on flipped properties including some of the TV shows on HGTV.

Yep. Another sign is the gray VCT plank. Some of it’s good, a lot of it is trash.

Check around the door casing to see if they took the 30 seconds to undercut or if they just jammed it in and caulked. Same with toilets.

It's been decades since I've been a homebuyer, but I remember being annoyed by bathroom vanities and fixtures. We'd go into a house that wasn't cheap, and the bathroom would have the absolute cheapest vanity and faucet possible. Any homebuyer would immediately pull it out and replace it. Even though it wasn't a huge waste of money, it was a big indicator that the flipper was not thinking about quality at all. I would never buy a house from a flipper, and you can tell when they've been involved.
