See Episode GuideInfringing Flip
A seller is looking to offload a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Garden Grove, CA, and asks Tarek and Christina to come have a look. The home already has an open floor plan and a master bedroom, but one of its bedrooms may be illegally permitted which could lead to hidden costs. Have they bought into a money trap or will they be able to pull out a profit on this infringing flip?
Midcentury Markup
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a Santa Ana, CA, home with midcentury architectural details that could sell for top dollar. However, they're forced to outbid other investors to snag the home, leaving them wondering if more money means more problems.

Switching Rooms
Tarek and Christina are contacted by a homeowner wanting to sell their four-bedroom home in Garden Grove, California. Knowing the high returns for the area they decide to go for it, but find the layout strange and question whether it's actually a four-bedroom house after all. Did they make a huge mistake, or can they find an upside from this potential mishap?
Rotten Flip
Tarek and Christina take a gamble on a million-dollar possibility in Anaheim Hills, CA, that is rotted with mold. Tarek wrestles with keeping the project on track while Christina tip-toes around her ex being in a bad mood as things get worse with the home. The duo will have to come together and agree on a solid design if they want to sell the house for over a million dollars, otherwise this rotten flip may prove to be more than they can handle.

Toxic Flip
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a small house that's aggressively priced and could be a lucrative deal based on comparable sales in the neighborhood. They go to inspect the house before making a decision and find it boarded up and in rough shape. Despite its condition, the numbers are promising and they've done well in this area before. They decide to take the calculated risk and buy the home, its interior still sight unseen. Can Tarek and Christina keep this project under control to see risk through to reward or could hidden troubles turn this house into a toxic flip?
Cracked Flip
Tarek and Christina come across a listing for a newer home in Yorba Linda, California that has great potential but has seen better days. The owner is motivated to sell quickly which could yield an enticing deal; but it also means Tarek and Christina won't have much time to inspect if they want to wrap up this investment property. The home is newer and will require mostly cosmetic fixes, but a series of cracks inside and outside have piqued Tarek and Christina's interest. Can they handle the problems hidden throughout this house or will they crack up before they can finish this cracked flip?
Abandoned Flip
Tarek and Christina find a promising short-sale property in Long Beach, California, but find the massive renovations the previous owners began are only partly finished. With the house in various states of disrepair, Tarek and Christina are excited to have a clean slate for design but cautious about the problems that could be lurking in a homeowner's do-it-yourself renovation.
Diamond in the Rough
Tarek and Christina spot a listing for a small home in the desirable neighborhood of Costa Mesa, California. The home is in rough shape and will surely require a lot of work to renovate, but they hope to transform this house from the worst on the block to the showpiece by the beach.
Wishful Workshop
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a home in Garden Grove, California. They always do well in this neighborhood and see big potential with this house. When they go to check out the house there is a large workshop addition which could be a huge selling point for a buyer later on. Will this addition help sell this home once it's renovated or will permit issues bring down this wishful workshop?
Hot Market, Fast Flip
Tarek and Christina get a smoking deal on a house in an up-and-coming neighborhood of Garden Grove, CA. With not too much work to be done, this house should be quick flip for them. Can they keep this flip on schedule or will unpredictable problems douse this hot market flip?
A Pig In A Poke
Tarek and Christina feel confident making an offer on a tenant-occupied trust sale in Fullerton, California. They arrive at their new house ready to design, but are stopped in their tracks as they could not have anticipated what they find.
Abort Flip
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a promising tenant-occupied property in Long Beach, California. It's a gamble since they can't inspect inside the house, but with comparable properties selling for nearly $100,000 above this home's asking price, it's an educated risk.
New Flips, Familiar Faces
With Christina pregnant on bed rest Tarek enlists help from his friend and real estate partner Pete DeBest. They go on the search for their next big project and land a great deal on a run down house in Corona, CA. Once they crack open the door they see that they have their work cut out for them on this one. Will these old friends be able to work together to resurrect this home or will Christina's absence spell disaster for this flip?
Labor 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?
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.
