Yes who cares about the flippers. House flippers everywhere deserve to be destroyed financially and I will not shed 1 tear for them.

Don't paint with a broad brush. There are flippers who do things right and actually FIX the houses they buy, legitimately.

Many though do nothing but speculate and drive up prices for no good reason. Buying them up, to create more scarcity.

In some areas of central florida it's still possible to buy a 3/2/2 of 1500 sq ft for about $130k that would be in areas with great numbers of retirees; you can often buy those homes for about about $90 and after you get caught up on 10-20 years of non-maintenance you can still make a decent amount... someone's gotta do it! The deflation in pricing is always most acute on the high end in a slowdown, the low end remains safe as long as the employment picture remains stable...
