So, if they lose on this house, it will affect the whole family.  Banking on the home's beautiful view, Tarek and Christina spend 20 thousand of their $50,000 rehab budget on landscaping, however, after they notice a crack in the foundation slab of the house, they realize that the home might be sinking down the hill along with their profits!  With literally everything, and then some, invested, will this flip with a view have Tarek and his family sitting pretty, or tumbling down the hill towards bankruptcy?

Tarek and Christina spot a large house in Ontario CA, going to auction for an opening bid 150K. But it's too far away to snoop and the auction starts in less than an hour. Based on comps, which are $240K-$260K, they take a leap of faith and head to the auction where they win the house for $180K.  It's always nerve wracking to buy a house sight-unseen, but while walking through the house with their contractor, Dan Messina, it seems to be mostly cosmetic and can be done for 30K in 30 days.  But after the work begins they find rotted wood, which leads to extensive termite damage. Will these termites destroy their budget to update the house?  Will they be able to make the upgrades that will attract buyers?  Or will they be forced to market this Inland Empire Cosmetic Nightmare as is.

Tarek and Christina worry these structural issues might blow their entire rehab budget.   Will this Spanish style salvage be a profitable flip or a regrettable flop?

Tarek and Christina get a lead on a bank-owned (REO) property that is a small 1920's craftsman bungalow in Whittier, CA. They are able to tour the house prior to making an offer, and discover it needs a complete overhaul.  It may not be worth flipping.   But there is a studio in the back that doesn't seem to be included in the square footage on the listing.  If the studio is permitted, it would be a major selling point for potential owners, who might want to offset their mortgage with a renter.  They check with the city and discover that it is in fact permitted.  And the bank accepts their all cash offer of $182,000. They want to flip this house in 30 days so work begins right away.  On Day 1 they discover that the lead paint on the house must be dealt with according to EPA standards at an unexpected cost of 12 thousand dollars!  Day 2 and it's a broken water main, which once again destroys the budget!  With their profit margin getting gouged, Tarek and Christina hold their breath to see if this bungalow gamble will Flip or Flop.

Tarek and Christina put their life savings on the line at a foreclosure auction, and buy a house that they've never been inside, for $275,000.  And now it's the moment of truth, as they walk through the door for the first time and find the house is a disaster.  The kitchen, bathrooms and backyard all need a complete overhaul!  But there's no turning back because foreclosures are sold as-is.  So they start work on the flip and the rehab budget skyrockets to over 50K.   With the flipping business at stake, Tarek and Christina feel the pressure to get the house completed before the housing market shifts beneath their feet.  And the thought of failure gives them the foreclosure heebie-jeebies. Will Tarek and Christina Flip or Flop?

After some intensive research on comps, Tarek and Christina find a promising 5 bedroom, 3 bath, house to flip in a family neighborhood of Bellflower, CA. When they tour the home with their contractor, Izzy, Tarek and Christina are thrilled to find a newly renovated kitchen and a dining room that just needs a coat of paint, however, their hopes, that the rest of the house will also be in turn-key condition, are quickly dashed when they discover that the upstairs master bathroom is covered in floor to ceiling mold. Considering the kitchen is in such good condition, Tarek and Christina decide that dealing with the mold remediation shouldn't ruin their remodel budget, and negotiate with the bank to secure the house for $385,000. But after they hire a mold inspector to run some tests, they discover they have toxic mold on their hands, which, not only is more expensive to treat than was expected, but will also take longer to fix. As they open up the walls to deal with the mold, they also find fire damage throughout the attic, and extensive termite damage throughout the house. With further delays and costs, all bets are off, as Tarek and Christina scramble to get this home renovated and on the market. Will cleaning up this moldy mess make them Flip or Flop?

Tarek and Christina have had their eyes on a short sale in Anaheim Hills for about a month, when suddenly it goes to foreclosure auction, so they jump on it for $430K.  They arrive at the house for a walk through with their contractor and discover that the house has been vandalized!  All the widows are broken, the hardwood floors are hammered, and there's graffiti and food all over the place!  But worst of all, concrete was poured in the sinks, showers and toilets, destroying the plumbing in the house!  Now their entire budget will be spent just fixing this damage, instead of doing the upgrades that would attract buyers. Will Tarek and Christina pull through this nightmare and flip this house?  Or will this vandalized foreclosure sink their flipping business and make this a FLOP?
