I really love how they fix something if it's broken. No short cuts

[@audrawells1383]

Same. So many people who flip houses try to take the easy way out, and they end up doing a crappy job themselves, instead of hiring someone who can do it right.

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

“You guys bought this already?” Lol

[@darleneengebretsen1468]

DUH! Why don't they actually look at the freakin' house before they buy it? They're stupid not to!

[@mohonchh]

⁠@@darleneengebretsen1468 some houses they get really cheap cuz showings not allowed etc

😢 (I felt Izzie's pain)

[@NeidaTeresa]

Imagine buying a house in any condition in SoCal at 225k today… ugh a dream

[@rhoonah5849]

How Do You Flip The "Worst House In The Neighborhood"? Many real estate experts will tell you to never buy the best house in the neighborhood but always buy the worst house in the neighborhood. Why? The value of the other houses will drag down the property value of the best house but the property values of the other houses will bring up the value of the worst house. I would think that after fixing this place up that it would be an easy sell. The only question is whether you overpaid or can fix it within a budget that nets you a profit based on the value of the neighborhood.

[@angelbulldog4934]

Buying anything sight unseen--much less something as expensive as a house--is beyond my comprehension.

[@amya9597]

Christina and Tarek can make ANYTHING look beautiful! Fantastic job as always!❤️

[@Prieze868]

Hello Amy yes Christina has a very modern taste it appeals to an older generation or a very young generation but she doesn't always get the mid century I mean some of those brick fireplaces need to be left alone and the staircases with the wrought iron could stay I think sometimes if you're true to that you want to be treated the style of mid century modern but overall I mean that guy that just the pools he is amazing I think his name is Jesse with the dinosaur in the pool he does amazing pools but you know you need $120,000 to make a backyard like that

[@marieslabbert6009]

They were extremely brave and determined to take on that dump. It is now a beautiful house!

[@rethamoore4282]

I think I would bull doze it down and start over !!

[@cadoo5591]

Why would anyone buy a house before knowing all of this??

[@cmscms123456]

ITs really FUNNY when Tarek and Chris drive up in a $100,000 Cadillac Escalade, riding on 24" ghetto wheels, his wifey Chris have these SUPER WHITE capped horse teeth, wearing open toed sandals in a tore up old house, carrying her Gucci bag, and Tarek is expecting a discount rehab quote from some tradesman... NOT VERY SMART... you two DOPES.

[@abigail1023]

Yeah. 😄 The scripted dramatic suspense - "Oh, no. We might have to tear down the second story. Oh, wait - no, we don't!" is funny.

[@3RDSKY]

I Enjoy This Show & There Team Work Efforts!

[@vanyajelezarova7374]

This is probably the ugliest looking renovation they have ever done.

[@lorraine4477]

Let us know if properties was sold on your videos.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@wandadelorenzo1998]

I agree! Plus, how much did it sell for…no information!

[@jeepsanddragons]

is this a re-run ? like it feels older ...maybe befire the divorce ?

[@semivibes2515]

All of Flip or Flop episodes aired on HGTV years ago. Now Tarek and Christina are divorced now for years and have other HGTV shows of their own. All the videos of hgtv on youtube for free are free and you get to see 1/2 the episode but if you want to see the full episode you have to pay for a streaming service that has the episodes.

[@erynnlongenecker2672]

Excellent job. Wonderful staging.

[@Violet316]

$225,000 does buy a lot in Cali, but in Va. this house would be lucky to go for 50K.

[@renees1021]

It's hard to believe how expensive housing is there. I thought it was terrible in Kansas. For the price of the house in this video you'd get a new mini-mansion here. But, what's amazing is how you salvaged that house. I'd have torn it down and hung my head in shame for buying it. Well done you two. Miss seeing you as a team.

[@lafortunato2894]

I was disappointed to not hear what you sold it to work!

[@heidimckenna817]

Izzy!!! He's the best

[@jorgefeliz77]

The main focal point of the house is the fire place and then they decided to just paint it gray lmao...

[@carmelagarin8645]

The old style was hideous! The new owners just need to put a painting on top of it

[@eleanoreagly4844]

Fireplace was plastered to a smooth finish covering the rocks, then painted a dark grey. I liked the rocks.

[@kellybrogdon9601]

In Orange County you do not need a closet for it to be a bedroom but it needs a window and at least 70 square feet. At least in Anaheim code.

[@spacewalkerrr]

that fireplace is stil hideous,guys...

[@drewconway7135]

I like how they used a bedroom light fixture in the dining room. Super classy. And that smooth stucco on the fireplace is horrible. But at least there’s no crazy kitchen or bathroom tile.

[@kenscales4992]

I HATE that we never find out what the house sold for !!! WTF !!!

[@lm7662]

This is why you look before you buy.

[@jalifritz8033]

I think in the full episode they mentioned it was an action where you couldn’t visit before.

[@marthaanderson2346]

Really? Foundation issues, cracks, uneven.....this is earthquake country!

[@bettydamnboop3030]

Even when it looks bad I can see the beauty 👠

[@margievasquez9174]

You did a great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@debrascott8492]

In the real world and not a reality show makeover, I would NEVER buy a home unseen, whether I was going to flip it or not. Just far too much stress and money. These reality shows make everything look so easy and organized - and this is just not the way it works in "real" life. People are going to be misguided by watching these type of shows. Yes, these shows are interesting to watch and see the transformations but is certainly not the factual truth.

[@carrietremble4497]

They bought it at auction. You almost never get to inspect a house because auction purchases are as is.

[@tanyatanya891]

Tarek looks so young!!!!

[@Lacoux]

Lol at them faking they didn't know the foundation is cracked. Such bad acting.

[@helenaalicia6987]

Why would you buy a house without seeing it and inspecting it first? I guess they though the land was worth the 225k? You could spend 3x as that just to get it nice these days.

[@shsharrell9267]

This is a very old show. No telling what that dump would cost now!

[@apogeeangel2387]

Now If This Wasn't Being Recorded, Any Other Flipper Would Have Just Covered Over The Cracks, And Pretended They Never Seen That The Foundation Needs Work

[@catherinehartmann1501]

Why don't you guys wear a mask to go into these super stinky houses??? I wouldn't pull that directly into my face! Ew.

[@sabrinawhite7185]

Wow they were so young! You know this is old.

[@silviamachadodecastro924]

Nice work🙂👏

[@alladreamwedreamed]

This is one of the worst houses I've ever seen 😫 burn it down

[@Prieze868]

Knock it down and build a duplex unless in LA it's like Australia we have to wait a year to put a new build application

[@marielucier7982]

Looks really nice…..but what was done to correct the foundation cracks?

[@barbarasmith6414]

I want to know what they did about the crack in the foundation. Was it just cover up by the vinyl flooring

[@ibberman]

Exactly, something more than just filling it in was needed.

[@drmorrison]

$50k foundation repair.

[@cherylmoss3632]

Don't know why they complain about a house when they know that they will change it.

[@IshikawaLuv]

Did people really live there? That’s terrible I’ll take the street than that.

[@erynnlongenecker2672]

Hey. What about the foundation issues?

[@dougg4633]

"Worst House" ... That's easy! Show me how to flip the Best house and make a profit

[@gailcarey3597]

I love Christina. Her show Christina On the Coast is one of my favorite design shows.

[@joanneb3524]

So...what happened with the foundation? Just covered it up...leaving the issue to the next guy?

[@carrietremble4497]

Seriously? NO. They bought the house at an auction. They would NEVER be able to re-sell it without fixing the foundation. The house would not pass inspection, and buyers would not be able to get a mortgage.

[@turteltaube2277]

Love what you did to this property, I was waiting to see the stairs but didnt get a good look at it. Did you bring in a new staircase? And about the upstairs Bathroom, there is some footage missing how yu got room for a shower, it's amazing. The washbasin/sink could even be smaller, for another time if you ever look for a solution. Please check out the swedish well known company who does the smallers bathroom sinks I have ever seen.

[@tyronesmith11]

I didn't see the where they put the toilet in second bathroom...

[@TheFord1612]

These are cut down versions of the actual episodes

[@loriswenson2276]

I don’t know I’ve been watching the recent episodes and find him to be condescending to Christina. I think I can see it now.

[@erikadee8668]

He's definitely changed. He even dresses different.

[@rosisantos3901]

Essa casa ficou maravilhosa! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@JanetCaterina]

Why wouldn't they just tear it down and build new

[@istangwen]

It's called renovating the house, I used to live in a 1943 house when I was young and got kicked out, I went to the website and saw my old house renovated.

[@Fritz___]

That fireplace looks really bad in my opinion

[@Memito196487]

Does anyone know which season and episode this is?

[@lindaelliott6845]

They always do a good job

[@anaeden7926]

What’s in the second floor?

[@renees1021]

I'd hope you replace or at the least have the air ventilation professionally cleaned. Yuk!

[@Birch_Smiley]

roof tooo expensive ! 6k max !

[@pattistuber8018]

It seems properties should be viewed before purchase

[@theresekatie4841]

Why would you pay $225,000 for something without even looking at it unless normally houses in the area were worth at least double...

[@bubumic2971]

So ... How about the cracks in the floor ? I hope you did not just covered them up and left it like that ?

[@jorgefeliz77]

why is it that they ALWAYS stage their house with the same mf colors green and blue for legit the majority of their renovations

[@diversityinbeauty4714]

🤣

[@margievasquez9174]

The stairs look to me okay all they need to do is just paint them.

[@ryanjoe1977]

every house them do have white kitchen cabinets and cheap hard woods floors

[@januszbc]

In the middle ages, people used to pick wives based on pictures .... they had problems traveling. Now we have cars, go and see it .... unless you can find an idiot who will buy your flip from photoshopped pictures.

[@marieslabbert6009]

It is done often by house flippers in America.

[@vegodaher1312]

Why the hell are all the episodes u upload throat-cutted in the end 😤😤😤😤

[@cristinaprorosciuc4822]

The only thing that I don’t like is the green paint literally everywhere. Anyway I love their renovation in general but this one is not it.

[@sweetjayne47]

how about actually looking at the house before you buy it ???? get estimate first???

[@danyellerobinson5940]

Did they take out the toilet from the upstairs bathroom?

[@L.Spencer]

I like this one. Wonder what the price would be now.

[@TRUMPFORTHEPEOPLE]

❤❤❤ Christina

[@lp4000]

Does anyone know the episode which Christina screams at the white rat? It’s in the show’s opening.

[@kathe.o.]

Tear down the entire structure. Gross! What a waste of space.

[@chitchatshay]

Sometimes I don’t understand how they flip house.. how has that home been like that for so long then when they buy it they may have to take off the second floor lol how the hell u even do that 🤦🏾‍♀️😂😂.. dramatics I guess

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

WHAT DID IT SELL FOR⁉️❓ 😳

[@omradiant]

How much did the foundation repair cost?

[@galady8632]

Donna R - as per a recent episode I watched they paid just over $20,000 to repair buckled foundation issues.

[@ibberman]

@@galady8632 I just looked at a house, the bid to fix the foundation was $130K, so be careful.

[@Jungljoe8]

I am wondering how they fixed the cracked foundation ?

[@deannailer4297]

They paid 50,000 and fixed it.

Camera work is real bad

[@diasheikh7426]

Hi. I don't know the reason but I have noticed that U guys buy quite expensive houses in very bad condition and renovate them.... I have seen similar programs of flips etc in which designers buy bad shape house for e.g. 50K or 90K even 150K and renovate them. Any particular reason that U guys go for expensive ones? Perhaps the location/city U choose is expensive 😶🙄

[@louram]

They are usually in Orange County, CA, which is a pricey area even for California. This house is in LA County, but not the best area. The show has been on HGTV for several seasons now. This seems like a really old episode, because prices are way higher than $200ks in SoCal right now.

[@marieslabbert6009]

It is Californian prices. House prices are crazy high there.

[@marzigeisha]

Masks, gloves, booties?

[@BeCoShooter]

They bought some real dogs on this show. Wonder who was really paying the bills. Christina was always a highlight.
