Episodes
See Episode GuideLabor of Love
Tarek and Christina get a lead on home in Fullerton, CA which seems too good to be true. Upon arrival they see the house is riddled with cracks. Even with foundation repairs the profit margin is so large here it should be a good flip for them. With Christina close to having their baby, Tarek has his hand full with this one. Will they be able to rebuild this foundation from the ground up or will they watch as their profits disappear into this quicksand flip?
Big Money Flip
Tarek and Christina are contacted by an out-of-state seller looking to sell an old family home. It's a large house in original condition, but it's also more expensive than their usual projects and the renovation could get pricey on this midcentury modern time capsule.
Breaking Up
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a house in the exploding market of Torrance, California, that is not only in rough shape, but also has known foundation issues. Right away it seems like this might be a bad buy, but the land value alone could make this flip worth the risk.
House of Hidden Horrors
Tarek and Christina check out an off-market listing in La Habra, California, that appears to need only cosmetic updating. With the seller eager for a quick close, it could be a great deal if they can get it for the right price before it hits the market.
Ready-to-Flip Ranch
Tarek and Christina are contacted by an owner in Anaheim, California, looking to sell their three bedroom, two bathroom home. These three bedroom, two bathroom houses are quick and easy to flip, exactly what they are looking for. Upon inspection the house looks good, but there is only one hiccup in their plan -- the second bathroom is only a half bathroom and it doesn't meet code. Will they be able to make this bathroom functional and keep the value of the home or will they have to lose a bathroom and some profit along with it?
Poolside Potential
Tarek and Christina spot a home in Whittier, California, oozing with summertime potential. Its large pool and hardscaped backyard have seen better days, but with the right touch, could become an entertainer's oasis once again. Can Tarek and Christina rehab this backyard into the ultimate outdoor family space, or could ambitious design choices leave them short of realizing this home's full poolside potential?
False Start Flip
Tarek and Christina are contacted about home in El Monte, California, but they can't take a look at the inside before making an offer. After checking out the outside, they make an offer and get it for a good price. But they think twice after they get inside and realize that they might have spent too much on this flip. Will they be able to keep costs to a minimum and maximize their profit, or did they jump the gun on this false-start flip?
A Dinky Flip
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a small and outdated property in Downey, California, that has potential to be a fast, cosmetic flip. Tarek believes the reward will outweigh the risk, but as renovations begin, problems and disagreements rise to the top.
Thrifty vs. Glitzy
Tarek and Christina are contacted by an investor who has found a newer construction home in Orange, California, that needs cosmetic updating and should prove to be a fast, simple flip. But while he and Tarek are ready to move quickly on their inexpensive game plan, Christina is not so easily convinced.
Narrow Margin Flip
Tarek and Christina are contacted by their friend and fellow investor, Pete. He's already purchased a home in Anaheim, California and wants to bring Tarek and Christina in on what should be a quick flip for a modest profit. But as renovation begins, Pete's budget estimate goes out the window and this is starting to look less and less like a good buy. Can the trio save their investment on this narrow margin flip?
Million Dollar Flip
Tarek and Christina find a short-sale listing for a large home in the upscale neighborhood of Yorba Linda, California. With an asking price just below $1 million, this would be the most expensive flip they've taken on -- and also the biggest risk.
Of Wreck and Ruin
Tarek and Christina spot a home that's for sale by its owner in La Puente, California. It's in rough shape and tenant occupied, so they can't look inside. There's always a danger in purchasing a house sight unseen, but if they can get it for the right price, this home has the potential to pay off big time.
Pooling Value
Tarek and Christina find a large home in the desirable town of Cypress, California. They know they can make money on this flip, but the comparable sales indicate that an amazing backyard with a pool could bring even more profit in this family community. It'll cost a lot more than a standard flip to put in a pool and create an outdoor living space, but they decide it's worth the gamble. Can Tarek and Christina get top dollar for this entertainer's paradise, or could design and construction hiccups dry up the profits on this home's once pooling value?
Too Good To Be True
Tarek and Christina find a clean house in good shape that is aggressively priced in comparison to comparable properties in the area. It appears as good as advertised, so they quickly make an offer to snatch up this fast and simple cosmetic flip. But when they return as excited new owners a few days later, they are floored by what they discover.
Freeway Flip
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a home for sale in a historic neighborhood of Anaheim, California. It's well-priced but will need a lot of renovation work. They know old homes possess a certain charm and character, but they also tend to have a host of unknown problems and costs.
Old Time Flip
Tarek and Christina buy a turn of the century home in a historic Santa Ana, CA neighborhood. Old homes always present unseen problems throughout the process and this home is no exception. Can Tarek and Christina handle the issues that come along with renovating a century old home or will ancient issues come back to haunt them?
Natural Disaster
Tarek and Christina get a lead from an investor on a house he's recently purchased in an upscale, gated neighborhood in Anaheim Hills, CA. A large, expensive flip can mean equally large profits, but it also takes time and even the littlest mistake is magnified.
A Frantic Fiasco
Tarek and Christina check out a midcentury home with a dream layout in Placentia, California. But as is often the case with old homes, no project is as straightforward as it seems and Tarek and Christina must overcome their fair share of surprises and setbacks to survive this frantic fiasco.
No Risk, No Reward
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a trust sale property in Anaheim, California, with an original layout and a dated design. It's in good shape and seems like a mostly cosmetic project, but when their project manager comes back with a ballooning budget and a laundry list of contingencies, Tarek and Christina wonder if this home has more potential than pitfalls.
Pesky Flip
Tarek and Christina check out an off-market listing in Santa Ana, CA, that appears to be in good shape with strong comparable sales in the area. But profitable on paper doesn't always translate into profit on paper, and Tarek and Christina struggle to stay on budget when they encounter hidden problems and untimely mistakes.
Boxed In Flip
Tarek and Christina scope out a small house with a cramped floor plan in Fullerton, California. While it seems high-priced for the area, if they can buy it for the right price and stay on budget, it shows great potential for profit.
Fire Sale Flip
Tarek and Christina are contacted by a homeowner in Costa Mesa, California on a great deal for a 1960's single story home. A good deal in a great neighborhood is exactly what Tarek and Christina look for. Once they start working on the home they immediately run into big ticket issues. Will they be able to handle these big issues or will they watch as their profits burn up in this fire sale flip.
Split At The Seams
Tarek gets contacted about a house on a desirable corner lot in Torrance, CA. Upon initial inspection it looks like a quick flip but then they see the house and foundation have cracks everywhere! Will Tarek and Christina be able to repair this home or will these splitting seams become a total rip off?
Junk Yard Flip
Tarek and Christina spot an interesting property with an attractive backyard structure in Long Beach, California. Because the house is currently tenant-occupied, they must make their decision without the benefit of personally inspecting the property. Tarek and Christina make a deal to buy the property, but when they arrive as the new owners, they are shocked by what they find.
The Money Pit
Tarek and Christina make an offer on an attractive property in Norwalk, California, sight unseen. But as work on this weathered house begins, they worry whether they will be able to maintain their projected profit margin or if a bursting budget will dig this flip into a money pit.
Beachside Beauty
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a home in Torrance, California, that's just miles from the ocean and several upscale beach communities. The yard is small and tiered, but buyers in this area demand luxury and are willing to pay top dollar to get it. Tarek and Christina decide to pull out all the stops and make use of every inch of yard space to create an entertainer's dream fitting of its anticipated million dollar list price. Can they keep a lid on their budget or will this hillside spool wash away their profits?
