Flip or Flop Season 4, Episode 13: Pesky Flip

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 to say the least and because it's tenant occupied, 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. Can Tarek and Christina right this sinking flip or could this home prove to be the stuff of wreck and ruin?

Fun House Flip

Tarek and Christina get a tip on a short sale in Anaheim, California that has plenty of potential and is certain to attract investor interest. With only hours to determine if this could be their next flip, they meet their contractor at the house and are puzzled by what they find - a maze of barricaded windows and suspicious additions. Tarek and Christina know that if they're going to flip this house, they'll have to stick to the budget. Can they revive this family home or could tricky obstacles distort this fun house flip?

Diamond in the Rough

Tarek and Christina spot a listing for a small home near the beach in Costa Mesa, California. The home is in rough shape and will surely require a lot of work to renovate, but it's in a desirable and eclectic neighborhood and properties in the surrounding beachside communities command top dollar. Can Tarek and Christina transform this house from the worst on the block to the showpiece by the beach, or could a ballooning budget prove this diamond in the rough to be a lump of coal?

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 and could be a great flip. But it's also more expensive than their usual projects and the renovation could get pricey on this midcentury modern time capsule. Can Tarek and Christina turn a big money profit from this big money flip?

Breaking Up

Tarek and Christina get a lead on a house in 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 Torrance is an exploding market and the land value alone could make this flip worth the risk. The house is going to need it all: good design, structural improvement, and careful renovation. It's a big project but it has the potential to be a big profit. Can Tarek and Christina transform this down and out home or could significant problems leave their budget and their profit margin on the verge of breaking up?

Trickle Down Flip

Tarek and Christina get a lead on a home for sale in Chino, California that's rundown, overgrown, and in desperate need of cosmetic help.

But right away there's a problem and Tarek and Christina are left wondering if this is an isolated issue or sign of what's to come. Will they turn a profit on this home or could mounting problems threaten to topple this trickle down flip?
