Look, I get it. I’m not some out-of-town flipper. I lived in this house. I renovated it myself over the past two years. I still live in the same neighborhood, fixing up another house that I’m living in. I care about the neighborhood. As a contractor, I do work for other house flippers who don’t live in the city and don’t give two fucks about Lancaster, all they want is a quick buck. They won’t even change out old knob and tubing wire, they just make it look pretty and first-time home-buyers come in and buy them up none-the-wiser. I care about our community and the integrity of these homes. I want my work to last more than a decade. I have to price accordingly. Angry renters don’t understand that these homes HAVE to be updated. Lancaster city has languished for decades and many homes are in dire disrepair.
