Tarek and Christina check out a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in their new stomping grounds of Garden Grove, CA. Hoping to snatch this property before it hits the market, they arrive to find the house is dirty with a mosquito-infested pool but has the potential to be charming. If they want to sell, the project will require a complex renovation with little room for error. Can they talk the seller down to a lower asking price or will Tarek and Christina have to pull off the perfect flip?
Cat Nip Flip
Tarek and Christina are contacted by a realtor about an exciting new listing. So new, in fact, that the realtor doesn't even have keys yet. If Tarek and Christina want to buy this house, they'll have to do so sight unseen. The price is right and the profit potential is huge, but who knows what lurks behind that front door? Can Tarek and Christina stay on budget or will they be left clawing for profits on this cat nip flip?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Double Lot Limbo
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a house in Buena Park, California, that has a large lot behind it. This lot could mean extra profits if they are able to split and sell it separately from the house. The house poses its own problems with a strange layout and permit issues that could set the project back. Can Tarek and Christina take on this new challenge or will setbacks keep them in this double lot limbo?
Beaming With Potential
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a four-bedroom home in Cypress, California, that the owner is looking to sell quickly. The home is a mess but already has an open floor plan, which will save them money in the long run. When they start demo on the kitchen, Tarek and Christina discover the ceiling isn't supported correctly, and they will have to reinforce it or add a post, which will close off the space. A house that was once beaming with potential could end up costing them more than they expected.
Addition and Subtraction
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a home in Garden Grove, California, that is in need of a major makeover. The house is small and needs a lot of work but it does have a large yard where they could add an extra bathroom or bedroom. Could an addition be the perfect solution to their problems or will it just end up subtracting from their profits?
Lessons in Laguna Beach
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a house in an upscale neighborhood in Laguna Beach, CA. Even though the house is small, it has an ocean view, which means big money. Having never flipped in the area, they aren't sure what to offer for the house, so they visit another flip in the area and see that the house they want is overpriced. When they offer below asking price for the home, the seller is shocked. Will they be able to get a good deal on this beachside home or will they miss their chance to make big money in Laguna?
Junk-Pile Flip
Tarek and Christina flip a small home with big problems in Long Beach, CA. What seems like a great home reveals an avalanche of problems from the front door to the garage. This junk-pile flip is filled to the brim with hidden obstacles -- can it be saved?

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?
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?
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.
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.
Diving Into a Flip
Tarek and Christina buy a large home in Anaheim, California, with some strange additions that could end up costing them thousands of dollars and sacrificing square footage.
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?
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?
Bursting at the Seams
Tarek and Christina are out of town when they get a lead on a house in La Mirada, California, and are forced to buy the house sight unseen. Christina worries the house may be packed with problems, but Tarek believes big risks come with big rewards.

Backyard Staycation
Tarek and Christina get a lead on a home in Riverside, California, with a massive backyard. It has great views and room to create a pool and outdoor living area fit for a five-star resort. The potential is there to make this the biggest backyard transformation they've ever done, but it won't come cheaply and they risk spending more than they can get back. Can Tarek and Christina create and reap the rewards of a resort-style backyard or could rising costs threaten to sink this backyard staycation dream home?
