Weeds in gutters signal neglected maintenance and potential hidden damage like leaks and rot. When wholesaling or flipping, inspect gutters, trim, and wood carefully to distinguish cosmetic issues from structural problems that can tank your profit margins.
One thing we're noticing as we're taking a look at this house that we're potentially going to flip is that the weeds growing through the gutter. That means that this house probably hasn't had its gutters cleaned in a long time. And you know, there's a lot of probably maintenance, probably leaking that's, you know, you're gonna have to look into. These are little things that you don't really notice when you're just trying to wholesale a property. But if you're going to start flipping, you got to take— acknowledge all the things that probably need to get done. Like even this trim, this wood, you know, is it, um, is the wood bad? Like you need to replace the wood or is it just paint? Um, what other things can you not see that are going to cost you a lot of money for this property.
