The whole purpose of flipping is to get a quick turnaround on your investment because the longer you hold on to it the more your profit disappears. There's lots of potential to get stuck with the house.
A few years ago there was a highly publicized horrendous murder in a town near me. A few young adults were renting a modest house and some guys got upset over an xbox or something and went to the house and beat everyone to death, including the dog with baseball bats. It was reported that the ring leader ( Troy Victorino, or something like that ) even had sex with one of the females after he beat her to death. The house was completely covered with blood as they chased each victim around beating them. It was the type of crime scene that shocked even the most hardened criminal investigators.
I always wondered if anyone would every buy that house after that.

That was kind of the basis for the idea of that part of the story. I wondered if something horrific and highly publicized happened in a house you would think it would be hard to sell that house. I wonder how a person would feel if they bought a house the a few months after they bought it they were told about what happened in it.
