Well, to bring it back to the OP, the problem here is they clearly didn't go full send. It's definitely tacky, but not tacky enough. How about some gold fixtures and doorknobs? What's up with that hideous tiling behind the stove? Why is there a regular old ceiling light and not a friggin' Svarovski chandelier? Spend another 15 grand on those and you might find someone who's willing (and high enough) to pay you 20% over ask.

It's gonna be drug money, but they'll pay.

Well, if you have a house to sell in a prime area, there's no need to put in an outrageous kitchen like that in order to attract buyers. The only reason you'd need to do that is if your house ISN'T.

Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure that's the floor. If it was a countertop, it would only work to create the illusion of a floor from one specific angle, and I kinda doubt a house flipper would go to the length of building a countertop for that particular purpose. Yeah, a picture from that angle might help attract potential buyers, but it would be immediately visible when you come in for an inspection. I'm pretty sure there's more effective and less obvious ways to screw your buyers.

Do it. Do it now.

If you're gonna go for the unusual, you have to fully commit to it. Don't stop halfway, because it's gonna be cringe. But if you go all the way, they will call it art, and they'll pay you multiple times over what you paid for it.

Yeah, at this point in time I basically just assume everything is fake until proven real.

And I've been around some of these house flippers, they love to brag in public about how much money and effort they're spending to renovate these houses but in private they always brag about how much money they're saving by cutting various corners and getting everything done on the cheap.

This must be a British joke I'm too freedumb to understand.

Perhaps. I'm honestly not sure how this kitchen could have cost anywhere near 15 grand. The cabinets are all just repainted and the stove doesn't look particularly extravagant.

Maybe if the floor is real marble/granite?

Well, college is already dry enough as it is, you gotta appreciate it when your instructor has a sense of humor.
