Tarek and Christina flip a four-bedroom, tri-level home in Orange, CA, with a pool full of problems and a dated interior floor plan. As the problems pile up with the flip and Christina considers whether her new boyfriend is impacting her work relationship with Tarek, they work together to get this million-dollar flip finished without a falling-out.
Shattered Flip
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a four bedroom, two bathroom home in Lakewood, CA. Their hopes and dreams of a great deal in a good neighborhood are shattered, however, when they discover that the dilapidated house has been vandalized.
Tri-Level Flip
Tarek and Christina flip a four-bedroom, tri-level home in Orange, CA, with a pool full of problems and a dated interior floor plan. As the problems pile up with the flip and Christina considers whether her new boyfriend is impacting her work relationship with Tarek, they work together to get this million-dollar flip finished without a falling-out.
It's a Dump
Tarek and Christina flip a house in Lakewood, CA, near one of their previous flips. They hope to repeat their past success, but modernizing an old house comes with a high price tag. A good flip will set the bar for the neighborhood, and a bad flip will leave them with minimal profits.
Money Mirage
Tarek and Christina take a gamble on a tri-level house in Irvine, CA, buying it sight unseen. The neighborhood is hot, but the house needs a lot of work. After opening up the tiny kitchen and updating the master bedroom, there's still a lot to do with a shrinking budget.
Infringing 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?
Flipping and Dating
Tarek gets a lead on a house in Diamond Bar, CA, and asks Christina to meet him to view the property. Tarek rushes off for a date, however, and Christina relentlessly pokes fun at him. The underlying tension leads to a blowout, which could get in the way of finishing the flip and making a profit.

Unfinished Flip
Tarek and Christina are contacted by a cash strapped flipper who needs to unload a project house. With no bathrooms, no kitchen and nothing but plywood floors, exposed framing and piles of rubble, Tarek starts adding up the dollars required just to rehab the house.
Too Small to Fail
Tarek and Christina find a short sale home listed in Whittier, California that's rather small but the asking price of $275,000 looks enticing next to comparable properties in the area. With their own resources spread thinly across other flips, Tarek and Christina have only $300,000 to spend on the home and its renovation. Despite their rigid debt ceiling, they're convinced they can purchase and rehab the home within a strict budget. But as problems are discovered and the margins start getting tighter, Tarek and Christina hope they can turn a profit on this investment home that is too small to fail.
Flipper vs. Flipper
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a short sale listing in an upscale neighborhood that has just fallen out of escrow. The large home shows promise for profit and with a heftier-than-usual price tag of $700,000, Tarek and Christina will need financial help from their friend, real estate investor Pete de Best. But with two investors comes two sets of opinions and budgets and schedules suffer the consequences. Have Tarek and Christina taken on too much house and too much co-investor? Who will prevail in this battle of flipper vs. flipper?
Hard Money Blues
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a listing in an upscale neighborhood of Whittier, California and although the entire home will need some serious updating from its original 1969 finishes, the renovation appears to be mostly cosmetic and comparable properties suggest great potential for profit. With all their money tied up in other flips, Tarek and Christina must secure a hard money loan to make an offer on the home; but that alone will cost them hundreds of dollars a day in interest and one never knows what budget-busting financial hazards could be lurking behind those popcorn-textured walls. Can their contractor renovate this big house in a small timeframe or will unforeseen problems leave the project a day late and a dollar short? Could this high-end home and its expensive loan leave Tarek and Christina singing the hard money blues?
Small House, Big Problems
Tarek and contractor Izzy Battres take on a small house in Fullerton, CA. The seemingly easy flip becomes difficult when removing a wall creates a nightmare with the city and an unpermitted laundry room must be moved inside.

Hoarding Potential
Tarek's friend, Robert, wants to get into flipping and they buy a home sight unseen in Lakewood, CA. When they discover it's a major hoarder house filled to the brim with junk, Robert worries they made a mistake.
Million-Dollar Cookie Cutter
Tarek tackles a cookie-cutter home in Newport Beach, CA, where everything looks exactly the same. He creates a plan with contractor Jeff Lawrence, but when a comp for $1.4 million hits the market, Tarek goes all out to take his flip to the next level.

Custom Craftsman
Tarek and Christina are contacted by a fellow flipper who has purchased a Craftsman-style home in an historic area of Santa Ana, California. It will take both skill sets to finish this project as he specializes in renovating older, architecturally significant homes, while Tarek and Christina excel at bringing in a flip on schedule and on budget.
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?
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?
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.
Fish Out of Water
Tarek and Christina take on a flip in West Covina, CA, which is a new area for them. They have to expand into new cities in order to grow their business, but the distance and their uncertainty of what buyers expect in the area lead to disagreements on the scope and design of the house.
