I haven't finished the game (even if I had been enjoying my time with it) but I do kind of want to give everyone a buyer beware in the event that anyone wants to buy the physical version. I do like my physical editions, so I did, indeed, buy physical!
I'm not entirely sure why this is the case, but it does not seem like if you buy the base physical version, you cannot actually buy the DLC on the Switch eShop. Like, if you buy the DLC it will not be compatible with the game that's actually on the cart. I think it might be because the physical edition of the game and the digital version have different publishers? I did a little recon and saw that this had happened to other people, as well, even if it was a little hard to find.
So uhhh yeah. Weird shit. I think there are physical versions that DO include the DLC, at least. But I would like to do my part to keep anyone from making my House Flipper mistake. I ended up selling the cart and buying the digital version later.

House Flipper was born in an era of games where the gameplay was supposed to be slow and tedious. Things such as cleaning, and painting being painfully slow were a trend in simulation games.
The game also has a toxic business model, having a limited main game, with many DLCs to add, very much like The Sims.
But even with these downsides House Flipper is a fun game you can get lost in for hours. For a lot of people decorating their sims house was the fun part, and that is the same for House Flipper.
From what I've seen House Flipper 2 is a massive upgrade over this one, so I don't think I can recommend this game anymore. However, it's a somewhat fun and relaxing experience.
