Flip This House - The Truth Revealed

If something seems too good to be true… 

Back in October, I wrote about how some of the homes featured on Flip This House in Atlanta had not sold, in spite of a portrayal to the contrary on television.

I even checked back in December to see if they had sold - yet they had not.

Well our local Fox affiliate has broken a two-part story in video that details what a sham the whole thing was (as if there was any doubt).

Part One

Part Two

If the allegations are true - I know of one so-called real estate investor who will soon get really acquainted with a 6′ x 9′ piece of state-owned real estate.

Thank you for letting the rest of us know about this, I suspected that this guy was not legit because his numbers did not make sense. I recently wrote a blog about it which had this investor in mind.

Lets wait until the jury finds him guilty of this. Just because he is black does not mean that his company cant make the profits that he has listed. I bet most of you believe in the white guy in the first season.

>seattlechris - if Richard Davis had been in Georgia, I would have researched his claims, as well.

And if the homes they say had sold were still on the market, I would have reported that.

It’s not a black/white thing.

It’s a right/wrong thing.

Thats what you say, but race is always a issue. Do you think that all homes on those show sell that fast? You are correct its not a black or white thing, its a real life home investment business thing.

>seattlechris - Race is always an issue to those who make it an issue.

I couldn’t care less about the race… and I stand by my statement that if Richard Davis lived in Georgia, I would have researched his claims, as well.

For the record, not all of Trademark Properties flips were reported as sold in the first season… and yes, I am skeptical of ANY of those shows when they report a profitable sale at the end of the program.

Seems that you are making it a larger than it is.
