1
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,303
- [Narrator] For
over six seasons,

2
00:00:03,303 --> 00:00:05,239
the Zombie House Flip
teams have been searching

3
00:00:05,239 --> 00:00:07,708
the neighborhoods of
America for desolated

4
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:11,044
and abandoned homes to bring
back to their former glory.

5
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:12,913
- [Ashlee] Whoa,
this is hideous.

6
00:00:12,913 --> 00:00:14,848
- [Justin] It looks
like they had a bonfire.

7
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:17,017
- [Narrator] From animal
infested disasters...

8
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,518
- There's a (bleep)
dead raccoon!

9
00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:18,719
- There's a (bleep)
dead raccoon!

10
00:00:19,353 --> 00:00:19,920
- There's a (bleep)
- [Ashlee] (bleep)!

11
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:21,421
Oh my God, we're
gonna get rabies.

12
00:00:21,421 --> 00:00:23,056
- [Narrator] To
big money makers.

13
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:26,126
- More profit than we've
ever seen in our whole life.

14
00:00:26,126 --> 00:00:27,828
- [Narrator] Staying
on budget and on time

15
00:00:27,828 --> 00:00:30,697
has always been the
least of their worries.

16
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:33,267
- [Keith] Oh no!
[glass shattering]

17
00:00:33,267 --> 00:00:34,468
- Holy (bleep)!

18
00:00:34,468 --> 00:00:37,804
This is a freaking nightmare.

19
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:40,107
- [Narrator] Now we're
taking a look back at some

20
00:00:40,107 --> 00:00:42,910
of the most unforgettable
flips from the past season.

21
00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:44,878
- What is that?
- Oh my God.

22
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,680
- This is starting to feel
like a bad investment

23
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,081
and I'm over it.

24
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:49,716
- [Narrator] And on
this special episode,

25
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:52,686
the team finds a couple of
larger than life properties

26
00:00:52,686 --> 00:00:55,522
that have them seeing
major dollar signs.

27
00:00:55,522 --> 00:00:57,758
- It's gonna make us
all a lot of money.

28
00:00:57,758 --> 00:01:00,827
[rock music]
[house rumbling]

29
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:03,230
- [Narrator] This is
Zombie House Flipping:

30
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:06,566
Back to the Flip,
Big Money Flips.

31
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:09,836
Welcome to this special episode
of Zombie House Flipping.

32
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:12,773
Over the next hour, we'll
take a look back at two flips

33
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:15,042
that brought in
some serious cash.

34
00:01:15,042 --> 00:01:17,678
Up first, a lakeside
property and a seller

35
00:01:17,678 --> 00:01:20,981
whose crazy demands kept
eating into their bottom line.

36
00:01:20,981 --> 00:01:22,182
- This is a buddy of mine.

37
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:23,684
He's had this house
for a long time

38
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:26,353
on the lake, dock,
boathouse, the works.

39
00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:28,555
- [Ashlee] This
is a little fancy.

40
00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:29,990
Is this where we're
going, the gated one?

41
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:31,825
- [Duke] Right
here, the last one.

42
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:33,527
- [Keith] With the
lawn furniture outside.

43
00:01:33,527 --> 00:01:34,962
- [Duke] Yeah, I
told you it's zombie.

44
00:01:34,962 --> 00:01:36,430
What do you want?

45
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:37,831
So, what do you think?

46
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,866
[eerie music]

47
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:42,002
- [Ashlee] Definitely the
worst house on the block.

48
00:01:42,002 --> 00:01:43,470
- [Duke] Yeah.
- [Ashlee] Roof looks awful.

49
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:45,472
Those roofs cost a fortune.
- [Duke] Yeah.

50
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:48,275
- What I'm seeing are
port holes over there.

51
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:50,444
I'm seeing ducts there.

52
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:52,045
I'm seeing tongue
and groove there,

53
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:54,715
siding up there, and
a terracotta roof.

54
00:01:54,715 --> 00:01:56,750
That's like, a monster.

55
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:58,618
We gotta pick a theme
and go with it,

56
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:00,554
'cause right now, it's
got six different themes.

57
00:02:00,554 --> 00:02:02,589
- Well, the theme is
gonna be, get money, okay?

58
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:03,790
Come and look at the inside.

59
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,393
You'll see what it needs and
decide if you guys wanna do it.

60
00:02:06,393 --> 00:02:08,095
Look, you don't need to
tell me that the exterior

61
00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:09,896
of this house needs
a serious makeover,

62
00:02:09,896 --> 00:02:12,366
but I think the potential
of this front room alone

63
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:14,768
will grab the team's attention.

64
00:02:14,768 --> 00:02:15,969
- [Ashlee] Let's see.

65
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:17,371
- [Duke] I present to you,

66
00:02:17,371 --> 00:02:18,638
- Oh my goodness.
- Lake Conway.

67
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:20,207
- [All] Wow.

68
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:23,844
- There should be
pews lined up here.

69
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:26,279
I've seen a lot of
houses in my career,

70
00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:29,316
but this might be the most
jaw-dropping first impression

71
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:31,785
of a space I've ever seen.

72
00:02:31,785 --> 00:02:33,954
- Why is the floor all wet?
- Ew.

73
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,389
The floor's squishy.

74
00:02:35,389 --> 00:02:36,456
Is this flood damage?

75
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:37,658
- That's the problem.

76
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:40,027
There was a flood, so we need
to pull out all the carpet

77
00:02:40,027 --> 00:02:42,062
and maybe cut out the bottom
of the walls or something.

78
00:02:42,062 --> 00:02:44,031
- This house is huge,
but whatever flood

79
00:02:44,031 --> 00:02:46,299
came in here was even bigger.

80
00:02:46,299 --> 00:02:48,568
For all we know, this
flood could have caused

81
00:02:48,568 --> 00:02:49,836
some structural damage

82
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:52,039
underneath this
mildew rotten carpet

83
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:53,774
and whatever's
behind these walls.

84
00:02:53,774 --> 00:02:55,275
- How big is this house again?

85
00:02:55,275 --> 00:02:56,610
- About 3,500 square feet.

86
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:58,278
- [Narrator] It
has four bedrooms,

87
00:02:58,278 --> 00:03:00,480
two full bathrooms,
and two halfs.

88
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,983
The primary bedroom and bath
are on the ground floor.

89
00:03:02,983 --> 00:03:05,018
There's a half bath
off the kitchen

90
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:08,955
and upstairs are the other three
bedrooms and a bath and a half.

91
00:03:08,955 --> 00:03:11,124
- [Ashlee] Whoa,
this is hideous.

92
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:14,227
- It's not the dated tackiness
of this house that scares me,

93
00:03:14,227 --> 00:03:15,629
it's the size.

94
00:03:15,629 --> 00:03:17,297
On a house this
big, we're talking

95
00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:19,399
a lot of tackiness to undo.

96
00:03:19,399 --> 00:03:20,967
- [Justin] The hideous
tile is the least

97
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:22,903
of our problems in this room.

98
00:03:22,903 --> 00:03:24,404
- Blinded by the pink.

99
00:03:24,404 --> 00:03:28,675
And that can send our reno
budget outta control fast.

100
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:30,310
Can you explain to
us what we're doing?

101
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:31,878
Like, how this
deal's gonna work?

102
00:03:31,878 --> 00:03:33,146
- The owner's name
is Mark, okay?

103
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:35,348
So Mark holds the house.

104
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:37,951
We just come in and
pay for the renovation.

105
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,153
We don't have to spend
a penny on the house.

106
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:41,188
We run the renovation.

107
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:42,756
When it's all done,
sell the house,

108
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:46,059
we get our renovation costs
back and then split the profits.

109
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:49,563
So the cost basis for the
house is $600,000 as it sits.

110
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,699
I think the renovation,
it could eat up $200,000.

111
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:53,967
- [Ashlee] $200,000, yeah.

112
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:55,802
- $800,000 is the
basis at that point.

113
00:03:55,802 --> 00:03:58,238
What do you think
3,500 square feet

114
00:03:58,238 --> 00:04:00,707
on Lake Conway
sells for, Ashlee?

115
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:02,242
- Oh, I need to calculate.

116
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:03,710
- I can tell you right now.
- 1.1?

117
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:06,613
- Almost 300 bucks a square
foot, so you're at 1.1, 1.2.

118
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:07,581
- Wow.

119
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:10,117
- If you clear 1.1...
- Mm-hmm.

120
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:12,419
- That's $300,000 in
profit we get to split.

121
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:13,520
- Wow.

122
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,225
- $150,000 made on $200,000
invested is a 75% ROI.

123
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:19,593
When have you ever
seen that before?

124
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:20,627
- Never.

125
00:04:20,627 --> 00:04:21,995
Those numbers do sound
sweet,

126
00:04:21,995 --> 00:04:23,864
but this too good
to be true feeling

127
00:04:23,864 --> 00:04:25,632
isn't going away any time soon.

128
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:27,334
- I'm 100% in, I
love this place.

129
00:04:27,334 --> 00:04:29,202
- You know I am.
- I think it's a great idea.

130
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:30,470
- I'm with the team,
but I'm personally

131
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:33,106
not in favor of this
doing this project.

132
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,407
- Okay, so it's up to you.

133
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:36,409
- I think as long as
we're legally protected,

134
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:37,878
I think we should do it.

135
00:04:37,878 --> 00:04:39,679
- It's gonna make us
all a lot of money.

136
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:41,648
- Okay, there you go.
- Awesome, awesome.

137
00:04:41,648 --> 00:04:43,784
[upbeat music]

138
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:48,555
- [Narrator] We made the
deal with Duke's friend Mark,

139
00:04:48,555 --> 00:04:52,592
and are going to pay zero bucks
for the $600,000 property.

140
00:04:52,592 --> 00:04:55,629
All we're investing is 200
grand for the renovation,

141
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:59,232
making the overall
cost basis $800,000.

142
00:04:59,232 --> 00:05:03,403
I think we can list the upgraded
property for $1.15 million,

143
00:05:03,403 --> 00:05:06,406
creating a total
profit of 350 grand,

144
00:05:06,406 --> 00:05:08,842
making our half $175,000.

145
00:05:09,843 --> 00:05:11,278
[sledgehammer booming]

146
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,749
- Are you guys ready to
take this thing down?

147
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:18,151
I mean, what little
bit of demo there is.

148
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,519
Since this house
is a stalled rehab,

149
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:21,788
there's already
been some demo done,

150
00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:24,057
but that doesn't mean
there's nothing to do.

151
00:05:24,057 --> 00:05:26,159
[porcelain rattling]

152
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:29,596
Savage.

153
00:05:29,596 --> 00:05:32,399
I'm gonna let Keith take out
his frustrations in the bath.

154
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:33,433
- [Keith] Ow.

155
00:05:34,701 --> 00:05:37,737
- [Duke] While Justin and I
shred the old kitchen backsplash

156
00:05:40,073 --> 00:05:42,042
and take down the
interior doors.

157
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:46,379
- [Keith] Oh no!
[glass shattering]

158
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,752
- [Justin] Bro, you
broke the mirror?

159
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:54,120
- [Keith] I didn't do that.

160
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,388
I saw it drop.

161
00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:56,923
- Can I see that
hammer for a second?

162
00:05:56,923 --> 00:05:57,991
- [Keith] Yeah.

163
00:05:58,992 --> 00:06:01,061
- No more hammers for you.

164
00:06:01,061 --> 00:06:02,862
- [Keith] I wasn't
even in the room.

165
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,665
- Now we have bad
luck for seven years.

166
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:07,500
We put Keith in demo time out

167
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,270
and brought in
some real experts.

168
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:11,438
[drill whirring]

169
00:06:11,438 --> 00:06:13,406
The crew is removing
some vanities

170
00:06:13,406 --> 00:06:17,644
and toilets that can
be resold or reused.

00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:21,181
Then they'll rip out all
of the carpet and the tile,

172
00:06:21,181 --> 00:06:24,351
all 3,500 square feet of it.

173
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:28,855
Now, this house is a blank
slate ready for renovation.

[upbeat rock music]

175
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:36,863
[saw grinding]

176
00:06:36,863 --> 00:06:40,033
- Today, LaCantina Doors are
here to install my grand vision

177
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:43,103
of a four-panel sliding door
that opens up the living room

178
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:44,437
to the backyard.

179
00:06:44,437 --> 00:06:46,640
[upbeat music]

180
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,676
- Hey, what's going on, Duke?

181
00:06:49,676 --> 00:06:51,544
- Oh, hey, good morning,
Mark. What's up?

182
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:53,713
I wasn't expecting my
buddy Mark here today.

183
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:55,315
While he is the
homeowner, he told us

184
00:06:55,315 --> 00:06:58,285
he wasn't gonna be involved
in the construction.

185
00:06:58,285 --> 00:06:59,753
Maybe he's just
nervous, but I think

186
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:02,455
he'll see the flip
is in good hands.

187
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:03,657
- Really opened it up.

188
00:07:03,657 --> 00:07:05,358
- Yep, I think when
people walk in this house

189
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:06,993
and they see this wide
open view of the lake,

190
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:08,428
they're just gonna
fall in love with it.

191
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:11,264
- Did you check and make
sure you got it level?

192
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,832
- Yeah, we got that,
of course, yeah.

193
00:07:12,832 --> 00:07:14,701
It's the first thing we do.

194
00:07:14,701 --> 00:07:16,870
- Okay, how's this gonna
work? What holds it in?

195
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:19,172
What holds this in place here
on the bottom and everything?

196
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:23,310
- We're going to put
screws through the frame.

197
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:25,245
- You don't need to put
any kind of water barrier

198
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:26,613
or anything like this for this?

199
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,548
- They've got all these
tubes right here of sealant.

200
00:07:28,548 --> 00:07:30,150
They're gonna be all caulked
properly when it's done.

201
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,085
It's always cute when
the homeowner thinks

202
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:33,954
they know more about
flipping than we do,

203
00:07:33,954 --> 00:07:35,789
but Mark needs to
stick to our agreement

204
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:39,392
and remain the silent partner.

205
00:07:39,392 --> 00:07:42,028
- Oh man, look
what you just did!

206
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:45,899
- I intended to do that.
I want to cut it off.

207
00:07:45,899 --> 00:07:48,401
- All right, how about
some safety glasses, man?

208
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:50,970
You need a hand with that?

209
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,105
How about this, is this good?

210
00:07:52,105 --> 00:07:53,239
What about the outside wall?

211
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:54,607
Do we need to look at that?

212
00:07:54,607 --> 00:07:57,277
- You ever heard the phrase,
too many cooks in the kitchen?

213
00:07:57,277 --> 00:07:58,478
- [Mark] Yeah, but
we're not cooking.

214
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:00,547
We're doing construction work.

215
00:08:00,547 --> 00:08:04,384
- Man, there is nothing worse
than a backseat flipper.

216
00:08:04,384 --> 00:08:06,753
- Look what you just did, man.

217
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:08,154
Scratch the frame up.

218
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:09,522
- It's not just
that it's annoying,

219
00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:11,958
but if he starts second
guessing things or worse,

220
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,593
changing what we're
supposed to do,

221
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:16,262
it really could start
eating into our profit.

222
00:08:16,262 --> 00:08:18,665
Fortunately, despite
his intrusiveness,

223
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:21,000
[tools whirring]

224
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,802
the team from LaCantina
still managed to install

225
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:26,172
the perfect sliding door system
across the back of the house.

226
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:28,308
[upbeat music]

227
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:34,447
- [Ashlee] Hi.

228
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:35,849
- We didn't keep you
waiting long, did we?

229
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:37,484
- [Rod] Nope, just got here.
- Ah, perfect, perfect.

230
00:08:37,484 --> 00:08:39,285
- Good seeing you guys.
- Hi, great to see you.

231
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:40,620
- Ashlee and I are
meeting with Rod

232
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:41,654
from Florida Door
and Window Solutions

233
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:43,056
to pick out a new
front door style.

234
00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:45,992
I wisely scheduled this
design consultation for a time

235
00:08:45,992 --> 00:08:47,994
when Mark is gonna
be out golfing.

236
00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:49,996
The last thing I need is
for his clear lack of style

237
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:52,365
to come in and
muck up the works.

238
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,434
- You've picked out a decorative
glass already, didn't you?

239
00:08:54,434 --> 00:08:56,169
- [Duke] No, I didn't
pick anything out.

240
00:08:56,169 --> 00:08:57,804
- [Ashlee] Me neither.

241
00:08:57,804 --> 00:09:00,106
- [Duke] Oh, I bet it
was Mark, the homeowner.

242
00:09:00,106 --> 00:09:01,708
Is that what he picked
out right there?

243
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:04,110
- [Rod] Yeah.
- [Ashlee] No way, really?

244
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:06,312
- Oh, so apparently Mark
doesn't have to actually be here

245
00:09:06,312 --> 00:09:08,114
to mess up this flip.

246
00:09:08,114 --> 00:09:10,717
He can phone in his tasteless
ideas from anywhere.

247
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:12,585
It's not appropriate
to this build.

248
00:09:12,585 --> 00:09:14,320
- [Rod] Personal preferences
to the house, yeah.

249
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,222
- Why don't we pick a nice--
- How about the Solstice?

250
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,323
- [Duke] That's
the one I wanted.

251
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:18,992
- [Rod] That's a good.
- [Ashlee] It's gorgeous.

252
00:09:18,992 --> 00:09:20,760
- [Duke] And, it's got rain
glass. It's fiberglass, yeah?

253
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,761
- Yes, correct.

254
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:23,296
- But you can get it
with the wood grain?

255
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:25,265
- You can get a wood grain
and then it can be stained

256
00:09:25,265 --> 00:09:27,167
to give it a gel, wood look.
- That's gonna look amazing.

257
00:09:27,167 --> 00:09:28,835
Yeah, he's got all the
solutions. This is so easy.

258
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:30,837
- The sash stop here, we
can take the glass out

259
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:32,572
and put the new new glass in.

260
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,040
- Hey guys, what's happening?

261
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,608
- How are you?
- What's up?

262
00:09:35,608 --> 00:09:37,243
- Hey.
- What are you guys working on?

263
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:40,080
- Great. Look who decided
not to go golfing after all.

264
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,182
- We picked out a nice door,
it's gonna be gorgeous.

265
00:09:42,182 --> 00:09:43,450
You don't have to
worry about it,

266
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:44,751
and we have it all figured out.

267
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:47,153
- You like that better
than the other, yeah?

268
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:49,789
- We all agreed that
this one here qualifies

269
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:53,660
as less than optimal
for this house.

270
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:56,029
- [Ashlee] Is that the
one you were going for?

271
00:09:56,029 --> 00:09:57,797
- Yeah, I thought
that looked nice.

272
00:09:57,797 --> 00:09:57,897
- Yeah, I thought
that looked nice.

273
00:09:58,364 --> 00:09:59,966
- Oh, maybe in the '90s.

274
00:09:59,966 --> 00:10:01,801
- Wow, Mark is a piece of work.

275
00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:04,838
If he imposes his hard
design choices on this flip,

276
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:08,374
the sale price is gonna
drop like a stone.

277
00:10:11,878 --> 00:10:14,013
- [Narrator] The team
sees a big time profit

278
00:10:14,013 --> 00:10:16,716
on this lakeside property,
but homeowner Mark

279
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:18,718
continues to get in the way.

280
00:10:18,718 --> 00:10:20,687
- [Mark] Look what
you just did, man.

281
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:22,388
- [Narrator] They will
need to right this ship

282
00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:24,124
before it breaks the bank.

283

You don't have to
worry about it,

- You like that better
than the other, yeah?

00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:33,066
- Wow, Mark is a piece of work.

288
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:36,269
If he imposes his hard
design choices on this flip,

289
00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:38,872
the sale price is gonna
drop like a stone.

290
00:10:38,872 --> 00:10:40,406
We're gonna sell this
house and we're done.

291
00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:43,009
So we want to be in tune
with what most people like

292
00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:44,511
most of the time nowadays.

293
00:10:44,511 --> 00:10:46,246
- All right, well
what do I know?

294
00:10:46,246 --> 00:10:48,114
- Thanks, Mark.
Appreciate it.

295
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:49,949
See ya.
- [Mark] All right.

296
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:53,086
- We're kind of working
with him a little bit,

297
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:55,188
and so anyway,
we've decided, yes.

298
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:56,389
- Yeah.

we're also making sure

the whole house
is well insulated.

is draining fast.

and already $46,000
of it is gone.

Fortunately, it's all
money we've chosen to spend

319

instead of Mark, but we're
already thinking about spending

00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:59,419
a few bucks to send
homie on vacation.

321
00:11:59,419 --> 00:12:02,188

down our neck nonstop.

He's like, sentimental
about his house.

- I've known him for
like half my life.

00:12:16,603 --> 00:12:18,805
I mean, like, I get it,
totally, but it's different

- [Keith] That's--

- Look what you just did.

Man, nobody put those
power tools away?

- [Duke] You guys get like
a feeling of trepidation

when we show up here,
like, what's he done next?

- Today, we need to
set him straight.

339
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:41,661
Mark, we need to talk.

340
00:12:41,661 --> 00:12:44,097
- Yes, sir. I got a
little bit of a problem.

341
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,032
I got a buddy who's got a llama.

342
00:12:46,032 --> 00:12:47,467
- A what?

343
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,035
- Yeah, you heard
me, it's a llama.

344
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:51,070
He had an emergency, he had
to go back out of the country.

345
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,839
I said I'll just watch this
thing for a little bit.

346
00:12:52,839 --> 00:12:54,841
Now I need you guys
to help me watch it

347
00:12:54,841 --> 00:12:56,509
for just a few days.

348
00:12:56,509 --> 00:12:57,477
- Well, what do you mean?

349
00:12:57,477 --> 00:12:59,078
You want us to babysit a llama?

350
00:12:59,078 --> 00:13:01,214
You really have a llama?
- It's a real deal, man.

351
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:03,282
- Oh, come on, man.
- It's a cool little animal.

352
00:13:03,282 --> 00:13:05,351
It just eats grass, it's
real friendly, don't bite.

353
00:13:05,351 --> 00:13:07,553
The worst case scenario, he
spits at you a little bit.

354
00:13:07,553 --> 00:13:08,554
[spitting sound effect]

355
00:13:08,554 --> 00:13:09,956
- This is unreal.

356
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:11,457
I mean, Mark is pushing
this partnership

357
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:13,126
past the bounds of the absurd.

358
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:16,362
We flip houses,
we don't run zoos.

359
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:18,364
Why can't you watch it yourself?

360
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:20,700
- My sister's in a
bind in Hilton Head

361
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:23,002
and I gotta fly my
plane up there.

362
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:24,470
I can't say no.

363
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:26,906
- Hang on, so how many days
are you gonna be away for?

364
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:28,641
- Just for a week, okay?

365
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:31,711
- You know, suddenly
this super weird request

366
00:13:31,711 --> 00:13:34,213
doesn't seem like
such a bad idea.

367
00:13:34,213 --> 00:13:37,350
If stopping by some guy's house
to feed a llama a few times

368
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:40,753
gets Mark out of
our hair for a week,

369
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:43,189
that llama is worth
its weight in gold.

370
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:45,525
We'll take care of the llama
as long as you need to be away.

371
00:13:45,525 --> 00:13:46,559
- All right, man.

372
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,860
- I'll help you with
the llama drama.

373
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:49,429
- Okay, he's cool. He's cool.

374
00:13:49,429 --> 00:13:50,463
You'll like the llama.

375
00:13:50,463 --> 00:13:52,098
- Cool llama, right on.
- All right.

376
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:54,500
- Well, llama busy man, so
let's go look at this job site.

377
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,270

[upbeat rock music]

379
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:04,477
- With Mark away,
we can go full steam

380
00:14:04,477 --> 00:14:06,612
on fixing this place up.

381
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:08,448
NewSouth Window Solutions
is here to replace

382
00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:10,516
all the old windows with
new double pane glass

383
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:15,488
that not only looks great, but
it's super energy efficient.

384
00:14:15,488 --> 00:14:18,758
Mark might complain, but
new buyers will love it.

[cash register ringing]

386
00:14:22,228 --> 00:14:24,831
- Mark's surprise redesign
set us back a little bit

387
00:14:24,831 --> 00:14:27,967
on the interior work,
but we finally adjusted

388
00:14:27,967 --> 00:14:32,038
to his adjustments, and
now we can finally paint.

389
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:34,807
We've chosen a light gray
shade, which goes perfectly

390
00:14:34,807 --> 00:14:37,076
with the house's warm,
lakefront setting.

391

[cash register ringing]

392
00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:41,948
We're also fixing the
wood on the stairs,

393
00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:47,353
then staining the hardwood
ceilings both inside and out.

[cement crumbling]

396
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:58,998
- These last few touch-ups
marked and be good to go.

397
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:00,433
- Yeah.

398
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:01,834
It's looking good on the inside.

399
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:04,203
With Duke's buddy Mark outta
town and out of the way,

400
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:06,072
this flip has really
come along great.

401
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,974
With just a few
finishing touches,

402
00:15:07,974 --> 00:15:10,042
we'll be ready for our
open house tomorrow.

403
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:11,477
Look at this
gorgeous view though.

404
00:15:11,477 --> 00:15:13,479
It's so nice. Fabulous.

405
00:15:16,349 --> 00:15:19,652
Duke, look at this
ridiculous creature.

406
00:15:21,354 --> 00:15:23,356
- That's not a creature.
That's the llama.

407
00:15:23,356 --> 00:15:24,991
You gotta be kidding me.

408
00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:27,693
- Why is there a
llama in our backyard?

409
00:15:32,832 --> 00:15:35,401
- Duke, why is there a
llama in our backyard?

410
00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:36,469
- Duke, why is there a
llama in our backyard?

411
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:38,171
Oh my God, what's it doing here?

412
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:41,107
- We watched that thing
for a few days for Mark.

413
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:42,775
It's a long story, but
it shouldn't be here.

414
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:44,343
I gotta call Mark.

415
00:15:44,343 --> 00:15:46,913
- I have no idea what
Duke is babbling on about,

416
00:15:46,913 --> 00:15:48,915
but partnering with his friend
Mark has given us nothing

417
00:15:48,915 --> 00:15:53,085
but aggravation, and now
some weird exotic animal.

418
00:15:53,085 --> 00:15:54,387
- [Mark] Hello.
- It's Duke.

419
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:55,421
- [Mark] Hey.

420
00:15:55,421 --> 00:15:57,757
- The llama is here
in the backyard.

421
00:15:57,757 --> 00:15:58,991
You realize that, right?

422
00:15:58,991 --> 00:16:00,927
- [Mark] Yeah, had a
problem with his fence.

423
00:16:00,927 --> 00:16:02,662
I just brought him
over for a few hours

424
00:16:02,662 --> 00:16:03,996
while I go and fix it.

425
00:16:03,996 --> 00:16:05,698
- We're trying to get
ready for the open house

426
00:16:05,698 --> 00:16:07,900
and the llama's running
around the backyard.

427
00:16:07,900 --> 00:16:09,135
- [Mark] Yeah, I
gotta fix this fence

428
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:10,803
and I'm gonna borrow
my buddy's trailer

429
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:13,306
and get the llama
back over there.

430
00:16:13,306 --> 00:16:14,440
- Thank you very much.

431
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,908
- That guy is ridiculous.
- It's crazy.

432
00:16:15,908 --> 00:16:18,511
It's like...
- [Ashlee] Ugh, llama drama.

433
00:16:18,511 --> 00:16:21,280
- [Duke] It'll be gone
today, don't worry.

434
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,115
- While we wait for Mark
to get this crazy animal

435
00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:25,518
out of here, it's time
to get this house staged.

Megan Morris is here
with her team from MHM.

438
00:16:31,624 --> 00:16:34,327
I love this tufted white
furniture you brought.

439
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:35,561
It's fabulous.
- Thank you.

440
00:16:35,561 --> 00:16:36,863
I love staging when
you're on the water.

441
00:16:36,863 --> 00:16:38,231
It makes everything look better.
- Yeah.

442
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:39,665
[laughing]

443
00:16:40,967 --> 00:16:42,835
Bringing this house to life
with the perfect ensemble

444
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,271
of furniture and accessories.

445
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:48,608
This is a space people
won't be able to resist.

[cash register ringing]

00:16:51,878 --> 00:16:54,080
[upbeat rock music]

448
00:16:55,281 --> 00:16:56,983
Look at this place.

449
00:16:56,983 --> 00:16:58,751
- [Justin] All right.
- Looking so good, right?

450
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:00,553
- This is what this house
was meant to look like.

451
00:17:00,553 --> 00:17:02,622
- [Duke] Finally at the finish
line. I can't believe it.

452
00:17:02,622 --> 00:17:04,190
- I never ever
thought we'd get here.

453
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:06,125
- [Duke] It's a big flip
and needed a lot of stuff.

454
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:08,060
- And then we had to
deal with Mark too, so.

455
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:09,395
- Oh, don't tell me about it.

456
00:17:09,395 --> 00:17:10,563
- [Ashlee] Yeah.
- [Justin] Yeah.

457
00:17:10,563 --> 00:17:12,064
- [Duke] But at the
end, this result

458
00:17:12,064 --> 00:17:13,432
is worth all the effort.

459
00:17:13,432 --> 00:17:16,002
- Yeah, when we first got
here, this place was a dingy,

460
00:17:16,002 --> 00:17:19,305
disjointed mess, like a
house that time forgot,

461
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:23,109
but now, super, super
transformation.

462
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:24,677
- Yeah, we stained
the wheeling there.

463
00:17:24,677 --> 00:17:27,213
We added new windows, and then
I love the brand new doors

464
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:28,681
that we put in,
which are gorgeous.

465
00:17:28,681 --> 00:17:30,449
- And the old doors
were solid slabs.

466
00:17:30,449 --> 00:17:32,118
This makes all the
difference because it's got

467
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:34,554
some leaded glass inserts
to let light pass through.

468
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:36,489
This house really has
great curb appeal.

469
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:38,224
Y'all wanna see if the beauty
is more than skin deep?

470
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:39,592
- Yeah.
- Check out the inside.

471
00:17:39,592 --> 00:17:41,160
- Wait 'til you see it.
- All right.

472
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:44,096
- [Ashlee] Okay, look at it now.

473
00:17:44,096 --> 00:17:45,631
- Wow.

474
00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:47,166
- Isn't this amazing?

475
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:49,268
- This is definitely what this
house was meant to look like.

476
00:17:49,268 --> 00:17:51,671
I remember this place being
a water damaged nightmare,

477
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:53,406
but with a ton of potential.

478
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:56,108
Now, that potential's
been realized.

479
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:57,643
- The tongue and groove
ceilings, it's really cool

480
00:17:57,643 --> 00:17:58,678
we got to save 'em.

481
00:17:58,678 --> 00:17:59,946
You know, there's a
lot of water damage

482
00:17:59,946 --> 00:18:01,080
when we first got here.

483
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,281
- It's gorgeous.

484
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:03,749
- [Duke] The light streaming
in from those glass doors

485
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:04,817
in the back.

486
00:18:04,817 --> 00:18:06,552
When we got here, those
were just windows,

487
00:18:06,552 --> 00:18:09,221
less light and no lake access.

488
00:18:09,221 --> 00:18:11,557
- [Justin] Now, they're an
invitation to step outside

489
00:18:11,557 --> 00:18:13,459
and enjoy the view.

490
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:16,596
- [Duke] Speaking of view.
- [Keith] Look at this.

491
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:17,797
This is amazing.

492
00:18:17,797 --> 00:18:19,198
- This is what's
gonna sell this house.

493
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:20,299
- Gorgeous.
- Yeah.

494
00:18:20,299 --> 00:18:21,434
- And I love this deck.

495
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,002
I mean, you could have your
morning coffee out here,

496
00:18:23,002 --> 00:18:24,203
glass of wine at nighttime.

497
00:18:24,203 --> 00:18:26,472
- Yeah, before, this
area was just dead grass

498
00:18:26,472 --> 00:18:28,441
and dying bushes.

499
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:31,644
Now, it's like the social
center of the whole house.

500
00:18:34,413 --> 00:18:35,881
- [Ashlee] Beautiful.

501
00:18:35,881 --> 00:18:37,483
- [Keith] This is
a wonderful suite.

502
00:18:37,483 --> 00:18:38,751
- [Ashlee] It is now.

503
00:18:39,752 --> 00:18:41,954
When we first came here, there
were stains on everything.

504
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:44,223
This place was a pig sty.

505
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:46,158
- It looks great now.
- [Duke] It does.

506
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:48,628
- Not a drop of mildew in sight.
- Look at the loft now.

507
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,363
It's so gorgeous,
don't you think?

508
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,831
This is so nice.

509
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:53,699
- [Duke] Yeah, you could
relax up here for days.

510
00:18:53,699 --> 00:18:55,234
- [Justin] Yeah, it's
an inspiring space

511
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:56,402
to be in, you know.

512
00:18:56,402 --> 00:18:58,004
- I'll show you the
rest of the house.

513
00:18:59,372 --> 00:19:00,640
Here's the bathroom.

514
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,675
- [Duke] You like the
relaxation situation

515
00:19:02,675 --> 00:19:04,210
that could happen in here?
- Yes.

516
00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:05,845
- This is the Jacuzzi
tub we got to replace

517
00:19:05,845 --> 00:19:07,079
that old one that was here.
- Yeah.

518
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:09,682
- Remember it was like that
altered marble from the 1980s?

519
00:19:09,682 --> 00:19:11,484
- [Ashlee] Yeah, and it was
totally ugly, oh my God,

520
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,386
and do you remember there
was wallpaper in here?

521
00:19:13,386 --> 00:19:14,820
It was horrible.

522
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:17,556
- [Justin] Well, this
place is very inviting now.

523
00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:19,258
- We made some major
layout changes.

524
00:19:19,258 --> 00:19:22,328
Before, you had to go into the
shower room to use the toilet.

525
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:23,763
Now, we've got a
separate toilet room

526
00:19:23,763 --> 00:19:25,631
and of course the
shower space is here

527
00:19:25,631 --> 00:19:28,000
where we can show off all
the beautiful tile work.

528
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,201
- Let's check out
the dining room.

529
00:19:29,201 --> 00:19:30,603
- [Duke] Yeah, for sure.

530
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:32,405
- [Justin] This might be
the biggest kitchen I think

531
00:19:32,405 --> 00:19:33,639
we've ever done in a house.

532
00:19:33,639 --> 00:19:35,241
- [Ashlee] It's a
true chef's kitchen.

533
00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:38,277
- You know, when we started,
this was just a long empty room

534
00:19:38,277 --> 00:19:41,080
with bad tile and no character.

535
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,648
- Now, it's a dream kitchen

536
00:19:42,648 --> 00:19:45,484
with a great island
for entertaining.

537
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:48,721
Dude, you can sit like 10
people comfortably at the sink.

538
00:19:48,721 --> 00:19:50,189
- [Ashlee] I love the
backsplash that we chose.

539
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:52,024
I think it really
like brightens it up.

540
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:53,926
Should we check out the balcony?
- [Justin] Yeah.

541
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:56,028
- [Keith] Wow.
- [Ashlee] Gorgeous.

542
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:57,830
- Everything about
this is great.

543
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:59,231
I think we're gonna
have a great payoff.

544
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:00,866
- Let's hope so, 'cause
remember, we gotta split

545
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:02,134
this kitty with you know who.

546
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:04,603
- Oh yeah, Mark never
actually let us

547
00:20:04,603 --> 00:20:06,038
forget that for one minute.

548
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:07,206
Guys, I gotta jet.

549
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:08,441
I'll be back after
the open house.

550
00:20:08,441 --> 00:20:09,809
We'll see what happens.
- Oh okay, cool.

551
00:20:09,809 --> 00:20:11,077
- All right, guys.
- See ya.

552
00:20:11,077 --> 00:20:12,478
- We're actually gonna
go clean out the garage.

553
00:20:12,478 --> 00:20:14,080
There's some final tools
and stuff I wanna pick up.

554
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,448
- Okay, I've got people
coming over soon.

555
00:20:15,448 --> 00:20:17,049
- [Duke] No, no,
this house is done.

556
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:19,552
- This partnership project was
a headache from the get go,

557
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,754
but our deal might
actually pay off.

558
00:20:21,754 --> 00:20:23,722
After running the comps
again for this area,

559
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:28,227
we've decided to list the
house for $1.19 million.

560
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:31,230
- Let's just pick up the last
of these things and get out.

561
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:34,967
What is this llama
still doing here?

562
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:36,035
- Oh my God.

563
00:20:36,035 --> 00:20:38,270
Ash, come here. I got
a surprise for you.

564
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:40,206
- [Ashlee] Yeah?
- Yeah, surprise.

565
00:20:40,206 --> 00:20:42,041
[Ashlee gasping]

566
00:20:42,041 --> 00:20:43,609
- Oh my God, what
are we gonna do?

567
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:45,277
- Have an open zoo today
instead of an open house?

568
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:46,278
- Yeah, what time is it?

569
00:20:46,278 --> 00:20:47,680
I literally was about
to put on my heels.

570
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,948
It's starting in two minutes.

571
00:20:48,948 --> 00:20:50,983
Oh my God, they just
texted. They're outside.

572
00:20:50,983 --> 00:20:52,518
- They're here now?

573
00:20:52,518 --> 00:20:54,754
Of all the things we've
had to do to flip a house,

574
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:57,590
wrangling a llama has
gotta be the strangest.

575
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,859
This is like Mark's
final gotcha.

576
00:20:59,859 --> 00:21:01,527
- A three car
garage, that's huge.

577
00:21:01,527 --> 00:21:02,995
- Hi.
- Hello, how are you?

578
00:21:02,995 --> 00:21:04,830
Nice to to meet you.
- [Ashlee] Good, good.

579
00:21:04,830 --> 00:21:06,065
You guys wanna come on in?

580
00:21:06,065 --> 00:21:07,433
- We were just taking it in.

581
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:09,401
- Yes, it's really, really nice.

582
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:10,703
Gorgeous neighborhood.

583
00:21:10,703 --> 00:21:12,605
- Does it, is that
a dock around back?

584
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,240
- Yes, all the way
around the back, it's--

585
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,474
- Can we go see it?

586
00:21:15,474 --> 00:21:17,209
- Why don't we go through the
house, the house is gorgeous.

587
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:18,277
Come, come.
- Well, wait.

588
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:19,945
So I see the exterior
is brick though, is it?

589
00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:22,648
- It is, it's brick, brick.
- Is it concrete under that?

590
00:21:22,648 --> 00:21:23,616
Is it concrete block?
- Yes.

591
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:25,584
Concrete under it, yes, yes.
- Okay, and--

592
00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:26,986
- So I'll tell you
everything inside.

593
00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:29,788
Come join me.
- Okay, okay.

594
00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:33,325
- [Justin] Let's go.
- That was so close, oh my God.

595
00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:35,194
They almost turned
around the whole time.

596
00:21:35,194 --> 00:21:37,396
[upbeat music]

597
00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:39,765
- The open house was a huge hit.

598
00:21:39,765 --> 00:21:41,967
People love the house just
as much as the location.

599
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:45,571
We aimed high on our asking
price of 1.19 million,

600
00:21:45,571 --> 00:21:48,474
and it paid off with
a full price offer.

601
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:50,676
With initial home
value of $600,000

602
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:53,612
and our rento
costs hitting 197,

603
00:21:53,612 --> 00:21:56,448
the overall profit was $393,000,

604
00:21:56,448 --> 00:21:58,951
with our team's half $196,500.

605
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,423
I do have a bit of a
surprise for you guys

606
00:22:04,423 --> 00:22:05,925
since we did make it
to the finish line.

607
00:22:05,925 --> 00:22:08,460
- [Keith] Oh, cool.
- All right.

608
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:10,996
- We need a hefty champagne
after all this hard work.

609
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:12,765
[cork popping]
We deserve it, right?

610
00:22:12,765 --> 00:22:14,767
- [Keith] It was almost like
we had our own super villain

611
00:22:14,767 --> 00:22:16,769
working against
us the whole time.

612
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:17,836
- [Justin] Cheers, gang.

613
00:22:17,836 --> 00:22:19,772
- Here's to a job finally done.

614
00:22:19,772 --> 00:22:22,041
- Well, by the way, I got
a lead from our brokerage

615
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:24,343
that said somebody else
has a really cool house

616
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:25,811
that they'd love to
partner with us on.

617
00:22:25,811 --> 00:22:27,112
You guys wanna go
check it out tomorrow?

618
00:22:27,112 --> 00:22:28,647
- No, no, no.
[laughing]

619
00:22:28,647 --> 00:22:30,449
- [Ashlee] Yeah, are you crazy?

620
00:22:34,386 --> 00:22:36,188
Up next, the team sees
huge dollar signs

621
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:37,323
in this unfinished build,

622
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:39,358
but struggles to keep
the potential buyer

623
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:41,594
and all his high tech
demands interested.

624
00:22:41,594 --> 00:22:45,030
- Man, I love working
in Lancaster Park, dude.

625
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:47,866
The collection of houses,
they're just so eclectic.

626
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:49,034
- [Justin] Yeah.

627
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:50,803
- You know in Lancaster, when
they scrape little houses,

628
00:22:50,803 --> 00:22:52,438
they put up really
interesting new houses.

629
00:22:52,438 --> 00:22:54,039
- For sure, man.

630
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:55,574
- [Keith] So this
house was like,

631
00:22:55,574 --> 00:22:57,243
a new construction house
that was abandoned?

632
00:22:57,243 --> 00:22:58,644
- Yeah.

633
00:22:58,644 --> 00:23:00,279
- Bro, we don't really
see too many houses

634
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:02,248
that are unfinished.
- Yeah.

635
00:23:02,248 --> 00:23:04,717
- So it's kind of odd to
see something like this.

636
00:23:04,717 --> 00:23:07,152
We got a off-market
tip about a property

637
00:23:07,152 --> 00:23:10,689
that's completely different
than the usual flips that we do.

638
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:13,025
The owners did a
complete tear-down,

639
00:23:13,025 --> 00:23:14,727
framed up a new house,

640
00:23:14,727 --> 00:23:16,395
and then just
walked away from it.

641
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:19,465
At this point, we don't even
know the layout of the house,

642
00:23:19,465 --> 00:23:21,400
but Keith and I decided
we wanted to look at it

643
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,402
real quick while Ashlee
stayed behind to do

644
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:25,237
some research on the property.

645
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:28,974
What does it take for
somebody to walk away

646
00:23:28,974 --> 00:23:31,443
from a house halfway built?

647
00:23:31,443 --> 00:23:33,879
We could be walking
into a nightmare.

648
00:23:33,879 --> 00:23:35,314
- [Keith] I think we're
about to find out.

649
00:23:35,314 --> 00:23:36,482
Here it is.

650
00:23:36,482 --> 00:23:38,717
[tense music]

651
00:23:43,122 --> 00:23:44,390
Look at that thing.

652
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:47,393
- [Justin] Definitely a
zombie, a monster zombie.

653
00:23:47,393 --> 00:23:50,262
- Wow. This big boy has
seen some hard times.

654
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,031
I mean, there's debris
hanging from the balcony.

655
00:23:52,031 --> 00:23:56,368
There's trash bags on the
walls, but man, it's huge.

656
00:23:58,203 --> 00:24:01,440
- [Justin] What is this,
4,000, 5,000 square feet?

657
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,409
- [Keith] This only happens
when somebody runs outta money.

658
00:24:03,409 --> 00:24:04,576
- Yeah. I don't know.

659
00:24:04,576 --> 00:24:06,745
I mean, mother nature's
starting to take the house back.

660
00:24:06,745 --> 00:24:09,214
- [Keith] Yeah, this is
gonna need a ton of cleanup.

661
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:11,583
- Well, they got the windows
installed and it looks like

662
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:14,153
they were putting can lights
in and stopped halfway.

663
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:15,921
- [Keith] Yeah,
and the roof is on

664
00:24:15,921 --> 00:24:17,823
so it could be dry inside.

665
00:24:17,823 --> 00:24:19,725
- [Justin] Depending on what's
behind the black trash bag.

666
00:24:19,725 --> 00:24:21,960
- [Keith] Yeah, we hope there
is an inside, right? [chuckles]

667
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,228
- All right, we're in.

668
00:24:26,565 --> 00:24:30,269
Oh man, this is
freaking huge, dude.

669
00:24:30,269 --> 00:24:32,237
[Keith laughing]

670
00:24:32,237 --> 00:24:33,572
Are you kidding me?

671
00:24:33,572 --> 00:24:35,074
One look, and it's
obvious this is not

672
00:24:35,074 --> 00:24:37,443
the typical zombie we deal with.

673
00:24:37,443 --> 00:24:39,244
It's more like a
concrete compound

674
00:24:39,244 --> 00:24:41,547
with a labyrinth
of framing inside.

675
00:24:41,547 --> 00:24:44,683
- [Keith] I think that's
the kitchen probably.

676
00:24:44,683 --> 00:24:46,819
- [Justin] Is this a
shower or a pantry?

677
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,087
- [Keith] There's
no shower or pan.

678
00:24:48,087 --> 00:24:49,555
- No, this has gotta
be the kitchen.

679
00:24:49,555 --> 00:24:50,756
- Yeah, that's what
I'm saying, like,

680
00:24:50,756 --> 00:24:52,458
there wouldn't have electric
while I was in the shower.

681
00:24:52,458 --> 00:24:53,459
- Okay.

682
00:24:53,459 --> 00:24:54,560
- Hey, there's
plumbing out here.

683
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,228
- This is an island
or a bar top.

684
00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:58,163
All right, so we're
in the kitchen.

685
00:24:58,163 --> 00:24:59,431
- Right.

686
00:24:59,431 --> 00:25:02,434
- Then this is a bedroom, 'cause
there's a tub over there, so.

687
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:03,569
- [Keith] Yeah.

688
00:25:03,569 --> 00:25:05,037
- The layout is a
little discombobulating.

689
00:25:05,037 --> 00:25:07,239
All I see is two by fours.

690
00:25:07,239 --> 00:25:09,074
Hopefully it'll
start to make sense.

691
00:25:10,476 --> 00:25:12,911
- So this is nothing
like a typical zombie.

692
00:25:12,911 --> 00:25:15,681
Yeah, it's been neglected
and needs a lot of cleanup,

693
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:18,083
but this isn't just
turning a lifeless property

694
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:19,718
into a nice home.

695
00:25:19,718 --> 00:25:23,022
It's turning a skeleton into a
mansion, and because of that,

696
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:25,524
this is nowhere near
our comfort zone,

697
00:25:25,524 --> 00:25:27,826
but I'm also thinking there
could be a whole bunch of money

698
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:30,195
to be made here if
we're willing to jump

699
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:32,398
into some very deep water.

700
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,770
- Ashlee was able to secure the
design plans for this house,

701
00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:41,006
and it's every bit as
extravagant as it looked.

702
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:42,875
- [Narrator] The two story
structure has just over

703
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:45,277
4,000 square feet
of living space,

704
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:48,147
plus an attached two car garage

705
00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:50,649
and a covered lanai in the back.

706
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,485
The bulk of the first floor
features an open plan flow

707
00:25:53,485 --> 00:25:56,555
from the kitchen and dining
area to the living room.

708
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:59,658
It has a bedroom suite
with attached bath,

709
00:25:59,658 --> 00:26:02,928
plus a guest room
that's actually separate

710
00:26:02,928 --> 00:26:05,364
from the hall bath beside it.

711
00:26:06,498 --> 00:26:09,268
Upstairs are three
other secondary suites,

712
00:26:09,268 --> 00:26:11,036
two with their own bathrooms

713
00:26:11,036 --> 00:26:15,474
and even a library/media
room for entertaining.

714
00:26:15,474 --> 00:26:18,444
Then there's the primary
suite, a huge room

715
00:26:18,444 --> 00:26:20,846
with two oversized
walk-in closets,

716
00:26:20,846 --> 00:26:24,483
a primary bath with dual
entry walk-in shower,

717
00:26:24,483 --> 00:26:27,753
and even a large balcony
overlooking the street.

718
00:26:27,753 --> 00:26:29,788
[rock music]

719
00:26:29,788 --> 00:26:31,924
- Getting it all put back
together is gonna require

720
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:35,394
a budget unlike anything
we've ever done before.

721
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:39,598
We offered their asking
price of $550,000.

722
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,367
Now it's just up
to them to say yes.

723
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:45,471
If they do, we'll set
ourselves a renovation budget

724
00:26:45,471 --> 00:26:48,974
of 300 grand and hope
that's more than enough.

725
00:26:48,974 --> 00:26:51,110
We'll have to get a loan from
the bank for all that money,

726
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:53,112
and that means a
big interest rate.

727
00:26:53,112 --> 00:26:56,081
The scope of this project
will take a good three months.

728
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:59,918
So we anticipate interest
running more than 20 grand.

729
00:26:59,918 --> 00:27:01,954
We also think closing
costs at the time of sale

730
00:27:01,954 --> 00:27:04,590
will hit around $54,000.

731
00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:09,528
That puts us all in at $925,000,

732
00:27:09,528 --> 00:27:12,598
which is enormous,
but here's the thing.

733
00:27:12,598 --> 00:27:15,400
We think a house of this
caliber in this neighborhood

734
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,972
could sell for a cool $1.3
million, which would earn us

735
00:27:19,972 --> 00:27:24,476
a massive profit of
around 375 grand.

736
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:27,112
A project like this isn't
necessarily what we do

737
00:27:27,112 --> 00:27:31,216
as zombie house flippers,
but with that kind of money

738
00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:33,986
on the line, it's worth
taking on this mega zombie,

739
00:27:33,986 --> 00:27:35,454
despite the risk.

740
00:27:37,122 --> 00:27:39,324
[upbeat rock music]

741
00:27:41,126 --> 00:27:42,561
- [Justin] We got
a lot of projects

742
00:27:42,561 --> 00:27:43,795
going on right now, y'all.

743
00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:45,397
[phone dings]
- Oh, hold on.

744
00:27:45,397 --> 00:27:47,232
Oh, guys, so they
accepted our offer

745
00:27:47,232 --> 00:27:48,567
on Orangewood.
- On Orangewood?

746
00:27:48,567 --> 00:27:50,369
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look,
I just got the text.

747
00:27:50,369 --> 00:27:52,170
- Dude.
- What, what?

748
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:54,006
- [Keith] Yeah!

749
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:56,241
- $550,000, that's
a lot of money.

750
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:58,210
- Holy cow.
- [Justin] It is a lot of money.

751
00:27:58,210 --> 00:27:59,545
- I mean, think about this loan.

752
00:27:59,545 --> 00:28:02,314
It's $550,000 plus $300,000,

753
00:28:02,314 --> 00:28:04,082
plus we have all the
hard money costs.

754
00:28:04,082 --> 00:28:05,150
- Yeah.

755
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:06,552
- [Justin] It's gonna
be a million bucks.

756
00:28:06,552 --> 00:28:08,353
- That number makes me nervous.

757
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:10,556
I admit, at first,
it was very exciting

758
00:28:10,556 --> 00:28:12,524
to put a bid on such
a unique property,

759
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:14,059
but taking on such a huge loan

760
00:28:14,059 --> 00:28:16,562
with such high interest payments
while hoping to find a buyer

761
00:28:16,562 --> 00:28:19,064
who will pay top dollar,
that's terrifying.

762
00:28:19,064 --> 00:28:21,633
- Yeah, but if we
sell it for 1.3,

763
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:25,237
that's more profit than we've
ever seen in our whole lives.

764
00:28:25,237 --> 00:28:26,638
- Yeah, it's a lot.

765
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,807
So the house is pretty
much new construction.

766
00:28:28,807 --> 00:28:31,843
You know how they do new
construction pre-sales?

767
00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:33,612
When you're doing like
a new subdivision,

768
00:28:33,612 --> 00:28:35,681
they'll pre-sell five
houses at a time.

769
00:28:35,681 --> 00:28:36,848
- [Keith] Yeah?

770
00:28:36,848 --> 00:28:39,218
- What if we did that and
we hit up the local agents

771
00:28:39,218 --> 00:28:41,153
that are working with
all the new construction,

772
00:28:41,153 --> 00:28:43,956
see if they have a buyer,
and then potentially

773
00:28:43,956 --> 00:28:46,725
sell them the house
like pre-construction,

774
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:50,028
we get a small down payment
from them, so they're invested.

775
00:28:50,028 --> 00:28:52,264
We let 'em help design the
house and then they get

776
00:28:52,264 --> 00:28:55,801
the exact hot house they
wanted and they take it

777
00:28:55,801 --> 00:28:58,604
the instant it's done,
rather than us getting stuck

778
00:28:58,604 --> 00:29:01,840
with an unsold property that
we're paying huge interest on.

779
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,609
- That would be amazing.
- [Keith] Let's run with it.

780
00:29:03,609 --> 00:29:05,077
- [Ashlee] So I'll
send the escrow money.

781
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:06,211
- Yeah, send escrow.

782
00:29:06,211 --> 00:29:07,546
Escrow on its way.

783
00:29:07,546 --> 00:29:10,415
- Yes, yes!
- Let's sell it.

784
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:11,917
[hammer dinging]
[saw whirring]

785
00:29:11,917 --> 00:29:14,119
[energetic music]

786
00:29:16,355 --> 00:29:18,857
[knocking]
- Hey Keith, how are you?

787
00:29:18,857 --> 00:29:20,792
- Today, we've invited a
couple of real estate agents

788
00:29:20,792 --> 00:29:24,162
to the Orangewood house
for an early preview.

789
00:29:24,162 --> 00:29:26,365
Both of these ladies represent
some high-end clientele,

790
00:29:26,365 --> 00:29:28,300
so we're hoping they
have some prospects

791
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:30,268
that might be interested
in buying this place.

792
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:31,770
- I do have some
buyers that I think

793
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,438
this would be a good fit for.

794
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:35,507
- I think I might have a
potential buyer for you.

795
00:29:35,507 --> 00:29:36,875
- Really?
- Yes.

796
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:38,276
[Keith laughing]
- Love this.

797
00:29:38,276 --> 00:29:39,811
This is fantastic.

798
00:29:39,811 --> 00:29:42,280
We barely started on this place
and we have multiple parties

799
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,349
that might be interested in it.

800
00:29:44,349 --> 00:29:45,717
Hopefully, one of
'em will actually

801
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:47,886
come through with an offer.

802
00:29:47,886 --> 00:29:49,421
[cement crumbling]

803
00:29:49,421 --> 00:29:51,657
[upbeat rock music]

804
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:53,792
- [Ashlee] Cream
and sugar, please.

805
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:55,260
- [Keith] Cream and sugar.

806
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:57,029
- [Ashlee] So are you
excited to meet our buyer?

807
00:29:57,029 --> 00:29:58,030
- [Keith] Yeah.

808
00:29:58,030 --> 00:29:59,998
I'm excited we found
someone so quickly.

809
00:29:59,998 --> 00:30:01,266
- Our early preview worked

810
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,635
and we got one offer on
the Orangewood house.

811
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,604
One of the agents we met
showed her client the place

812
00:30:05,604 --> 00:30:07,873
and he said he would
buy the finished house

813
00:30:07,873 --> 00:30:10,642
for $1.3 million,
which is incredible.

814
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:11,877
- [Agent] Hi!
- Hey.

815
00:30:11,877 --> 00:30:13,879
- [Ashlee] He did reserve the
right to back out of the deal,

816
00:30:13,879 --> 00:30:15,681
but he paid a
non-refundable 13 grand

817
00:30:15,681 --> 00:30:17,683
as an earnest money deposit,

818
00:30:17,683 --> 00:30:19,885
which means he's less
likely to bail on us.

819
00:30:19,885 --> 00:30:21,119
We also gave him the blueprints

820
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:23,021
so he could weigh
in on the design.

821
00:30:23,021 --> 00:30:24,723
So today, we're meeting
him to finalize

822
00:30:24,723 --> 00:30:26,358
the deal and discuss the build.

823
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:27,559
So are you excited?

824
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:29,761
- Very excited. Love the house.

825
00:30:29,761 --> 00:30:30,796
- [Keith] Great.

826
00:30:30,796 --> 00:30:32,764
- But there's some things
we want to do with it.

827
00:30:32,764 --> 00:30:35,767
What I want to do is
make this a smart house.

828
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:38,804
I want everything to be
controlled by a tablet.

829
00:30:38,804 --> 00:30:40,839
Everything in the house
is gonna be connected

830
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,375
to a network closet downstairs.

831
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:46,712
- So we're selling a
house to Tony Stark.

832
00:30:48,613 --> 00:30:50,048
Okay.

833
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:52,751
I have never heard of a
house with this much tech.

834
00:30:52,751 --> 00:30:54,686
I mean, we put in a
great electrical system,

835
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:57,022
but this guy wants way more.

836
00:30:57,022 --> 00:30:59,925
Frankly, I'm not even really
sure how to pull it off.

837
00:30:59,925 --> 00:31:01,326
I'm sure there are
people that do that.

838
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:03,328
I just don't, I don't
have anybody for that.

839
00:31:03,328 --> 00:31:04,963
- We can find someone.

840
00:31:04,963 --> 00:31:06,264
- [Henry] Then we're good to go.

841
00:31:06,264 --> 00:31:07,466
As for the rest of the house,

842
00:31:07,466 --> 00:31:09,334
my wife and I like
a modern look.

843
00:31:09,334 --> 00:31:11,136
Light tones, maybe
some black and white.

844
00:31:11,136 --> 00:31:12,838
We can work together on that.

845
00:31:12,838 --> 00:31:14,039
- [Agent] That's perfect.
- Okay.

846
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,041
- Great. Good meeting.
- [Henry] Nice to meet you too.

847
00:31:16,041 --> 00:31:17,309
- Yeah.
- Thank you.

848
00:31:17,309 --> 00:31:20,278
- Okay, I guess we're signing on
with this guy no matter what.

849
00:31:20,278 --> 00:31:21,446
- [Henry] Take care.

850
00:31:21,446 --> 00:31:23,882
- The thing is, we agreed
to cover all the reno costs.

851
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:26,918
I mean, yeah, if his demands
pushed us over budget,

852
00:31:26,918 --> 00:31:28,887
we could say no or
tell him to pay more,

853
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:31,623
but then he might bail
and leave us hanging.

854
00:31:31,623 --> 00:31:34,192
This flip could turn
into a nightmare.

855
00:31:34,192 --> 00:31:35,627
We're gonna need more coffee.

856
00:31:40,198 --> 00:31:41,366
- [Narrator] The team
has taken on a flip

857
00:31:41,366 --> 00:31:42,400
that could earn them a
record breaking profit,

858
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,402
but they begin to
feel the pressure

859
00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:47,706
when their perfect buyer's
list of demands start to grow.

860
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:50,842
- Per Henry's specifications,
we've rewired the entire house

861
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:52,844
with Category 6 ethernet
cables and doubled

862
00:31:52,844 --> 00:31:55,013
the service power to 400 amps

863
00:31:55,013 --> 00:31:57,215
to meet all of his
electrical demands.

864
00:31:57,215 --> 00:31:58,917
Now we're ready
to seal it all in.

865
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:01,153
We're covering every
nook and cranny

866
00:32:01,153 --> 00:32:03,889
with fiberglass bat
insulation, which is perfect

867
00:32:03,889 --> 00:32:07,192
for keeping all the electronics
at the optimal temperature.

868
00:32:07,192 --> 00:32:09,261
And then we're ready to
close it all up with drywall

869
00:32:09,261 --> 00:32:11,797
and we're getting a lot of it
if we're gonna turn this place

870
00:32:11,797 --> 00:32:14,032
from a huge maze
of wooden frames

871
00:32:14,032 --> 00:32:16,368
into the beginnings
of an actual home.

872
00:32:16,368 --> 00:32:18,537
[exciting music]

873
00:32:18,537 --> 00:32:19,971
Henry's early demands
had me worried,

874
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:22,040
but hopefully our good
work here will convince him

875
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,642
that he only needs
to give us his ideas

876
00:32:23,642 --> 00:32:25,844
and then he can trust
us to get the job done.

877
00:32:25,844 --> 00:32:27,312
[cash register ringing]

878
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:33,318
[upbeat music]

879
00:32:36,354 --> 00:32:38,223
That just looks like
electronic spaghetti.

880
00:32:38,223 --> 00:32:40,225
- But once the rack is
set up, all you need

881
00:32:40,225 --> 00:32:41,927
is just an ethernet
cable, plug it in,

882
00:32:41,927 --> 00:32:43,795
and let Lutron do the magic.

883
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:45,997
- Today I've invited
Osmar from Lutron

884
00:32:45,997 --> 00:32:47,299
to come over to the house.

885
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:49,801
This is the expert we
promised Henry we'd find

886
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,169
when he said he wanted a house

887
00:32:51,169 --> 00:32:53,271
that was both wired
and interactive.

888
00:32:53,271 --> 00:32:55,240
- [Henry] Hey, guys.
- [Osmar] How's it going?

889
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,042
- [Keith] So I want Henry
to meet him and hear

890
00:32:57,042 --> 00:32:58,577
how the Lutron team
is planning to put

891
00:32:58,577 --> 00:32:59,945
this smart house together.

892
00:32:59,945 --> 00:33:01,713
- The Lutron Caseta
or the Select system,

893
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:03,949
we can control not only
your lights, your switches,

894
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:07,152
and dim them properly, we
can also control seamlessly

895
00:33:07,152 --> 00:33:09,421
your shades
throughout your house.

896
00:33:09,421 --> 00:33:10,789
- Oh, that would be incredible.

897
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:12,724
I wanna show you a
bedroom to get an idea

898
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:15,327
of what kind of shades
we can use back there.

899
00:33:15,327 --> 00:33:16,561
This is gonna be our guest room.

900
00:33:16,561 --> 00:33:18,463
In the morning, it
gets a lot of sun.

901
00:33:18,463 --> 00:33:20,565
Maybe that person's not
ready to wake up yet.

902
00:33:20,565 --> 00:33:22,767
- We can seamlessly
control the shade

903
00:33:22,767 --> 00:33:25,203
so that you have privacy
or light blockage.

904
00:33:25,203 --> 00:33:26,805
- Can I still control
the stuff in here

905
00:33:26,805 --> 00:33:28,240
from somewhere
else in the house?

906
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,875
- You can control
it from your app,

907
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:31,643
you can control it
from the Pico handheld,

908
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:34,613
or if you have a Google
Assistant or an Alexa,

909
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:37,682
you can actually
control it by voice.

910
00:33:37,682 --> 00:33:38,917
- Well, Henry seems excited.

911
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:41,553
So if our client's
happy, I'm happy,

912
00:33:41,553 --> 00:33:44,022
and I gotta admit all this
futuristic sci-fi stuff,

913
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:46,491
it's got me pretty excited too.

914
00:33:46,491 --> 00:33:48,660
This sounds like it's
ripe for practical jokes.

915
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:49,928
[Osmar laughing]

916
00:33:49,928 --> 00:33:51,863
- We'll definitely have to
prevent the kids from yelling,

917
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:54,032
"Turn off the house," in
the middle of the day.

918
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,967
[Keith laughing]
- Right, yeah.

919
00:33:57,002 --> 00:33:58,937
- We're a bit more than
halfway through this flip,

920
00:33:58,937 --> 00:34:01,373
but we've spent well more
than half of our budget,

921
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:04,476
spending now about 178 grand.

922
00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:07,546
Keeping Henry satisfied is
costing us more than we hoped,

923
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:09,347
but at this point,
we don't wanna risk

924
00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:11,249
losing him as our buyer.

925
00:34:11,249 --> 00:34:13,919
So it looks like our
dream profit might be

926
00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:16,388
coming back down to
Earth a little bit.

927
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:17,923
[wood splitting]

928
00:34:17,923 --> 00:34:20,158
[upbeat music]

929
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:24,195
- What's going on here?

930
00:34:24,195 --> 00:34:25,230
So this is still open.

931
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:26,698
This should be
closed by now, right?

932
00:34:26,698 --> 00:34:29,200
- [Keith] Yeah. We just need
the electric company to inspect

933
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,736
and approve the connections
and then we'll bury the trench.

934
00:34:31,736 --> 00:34:34,372
- Okay, awesome.
- All right?

935
00:34:34,372 --> 00:34:37,442
We're about a week out from
when Henry wants to move in

936
00:34:37,442 --> 00:34:39,044
and although we're
close to finished,

937
00:34:39,044 --> 00:34:42,480
this messy job site doesn't look
like we're close to finished.

938
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,282
I know Henry's on edge
about it, so I'm just hoping

939
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:46,151
I can reassure him that
we're staying on pace

940
00:34:46,151 --> 00:34:47,953
with the progress we're making.

941
00:34:47,953 --> 00:34:49,821
So the rest of the house
is coming right along.

942
00:34:49,821 --> 00:34:51,489
We got the kitchen cabinets in.

943
00:34:51,489 --> 00:34:54,059
- Whoa, what is that?

944
00:34:54,059 --> 00:34:57,128
We picked white cabinets.
It's not white at all.

945
00:34:57,128 --> 00:34:58,463
- Oh my God.

946
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:00,231
Let me call Ash
'cause she's the one

947
00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:02,434
that put the order through.
- [Henry] Oh my God.

948
00:35:02,434 --> 00:35:04,235
- [Ashlee] Hey, how's it going?
- Hey.

949
00:35:04,235 --> 00:35:06,371
I'm at Orangewood with Henry
and we got a serious problem.

950
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:07,439
Can you get over here?

951
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:08,573
- [Ashlee] Okay,
well, I'm nearby.

952
00:35:08,573 --> 00:35:10,208
Let me, I'll just come over.
- [Keith] Yeah, please.

953
00:35:10,208 --> 00:35:12,377
- [Ashlee] I'm on the road.
- Okay, all right, bye.

954
00:35:12,377 --> 00:35:14,212
I don't know what the
hell is going on here.

955
00:35:14,212 --> 00:35:17,649
I swear I told the vendor
exactly what cabinets we wanted,

956
00:35:17,649 --> 00:35:19,284
but we have five
other flips going on

957
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:20,952
and none of us were here on site

958
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:22,620
when these cabinets
were installed.

959
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:24,556
Henry's ready to blow his top.

960
00:35:24,556 --> 00:35:27,659
Even if I can calm him
down, I have no idea

961
00:35:27,659 --> 00:35:31,396
how long this is gonna take
to fix, and time is money.

962
00:35:31,396 --> 00:35:32,731
- [Ashlee] Keith, hey.
- Hey.

963
00:35:32,731 --> 00:35:34,232
We got a really big problem.

964
00:35:34,232 --> 00:35:36,067
These aren't the
cabinets that he ordered.

965
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:38,536
- [Henry] They're not even
close to what we ordered.

966
00:35:38,536 --> 00:35:40,972
- [Ashlee] Oh my God, this
is like creamy traditional.

967
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:44,242
- This is completely
different than what we wanted.

968
00:35:44,242 --> 00:35:46,911
It's been a string of delays,
there's been mistakes.

969
00:35:46,911 --> 00:35:49,948
I mean, how many blunders
have I not caught?

970
00:35:49,948 --> 00:35:51,816
This is starting to feel
like a bad investment

971
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:53,485
and I'm over it.

972
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:54,652
- (bleep).

973
00:35:58,523 --> 00:35:59,758
- How did this happen?
- I have no idea.

974
00:35:59,758 --> 00:36:01,793
Like they, I don't
really understand.

975
00:36:01,793 --> 00:36:03,828
When we took this job,
we knew it was a risk.

976
00:36:03,828 --> 00:36:05,397
The kind of zombies
we normally flip

977
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:07,399
are moderately priced
homes, but we wanted a shot

978
00:36:07,399 --> 00:36:09,634
at a million dollar
super zombie.

979
00:36:09,634 --> 00:36:12,804
Now this cabinet screw up could
be the last straw for Henry.

980
00:36:12,804 --> 00:36:14,639
I mean, if he wants
to bail on this,

981
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:16,975
he's gonna only lose 13 grand.

982
00:36:16,975 --> 00:36:19,644
If he walks, we're gonna
have to finish it all,

983
00:36:19,644 --> 00:36:21,646
we're gonna have to put
it back on the market.

984
00:36:21,646 --> 00:36:22,847
Hopefully someone
who's gonna spend

985
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:25,283
$1.3 million is
going to come around.

986
00:36:25,283 --> 00:36:27,786
The whole point of
pre-selling this house was,

987
00:36:27,786 --> 00:36:29,821
we didn't wanna get stuck
paying a lot of interest

988
00:36:29,821 --> 00:36:32,757
on a huge loan, waiting for
a buyer to come through.

989
00:36:32,757 --> 00:36:34,325
If this house sits
for a long time,

990
00:36:34,325 --> 00:36:37,328
it could have major financial
consequences for us.

991
00:36:37,328 --> 00:36:38,563
- This sucks.

992
00:36:39,597 --> 00:36:41,833
[energetic rock music]

993
00:36:44,269 --> 00:36:46,037
- [Keith] Our cabinet supplier
delivered these cabinets

994
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:49,607
in a color called pearl glaze
instead of the pearl white

995
00:36:49,607 --> 00:36:51,609
that Henry actually wanted.

996
00:36:51,609 --> 00:36:53,044
They admitted their
mistake and absorbed

997
00:36:53,044 --> 00:36:54,746
the cost of the exchange.

998
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:56,614
[drill whirring]

999
00:36:56,614 --> 00:36:58,917
But since the install
was our responsibility,

1000
00:36:58,917 --> 00:37:01,953
we have to pay
for the reinstall.

1001
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:03,588
Hey, at least the
cabinets were in stock

1002
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:05,990
so it got done right away.

1003
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:07,592
We add some modern appliances

1004
00:37:08,593 --> 00:37:10,995
and some beautiful countertops,

1005
00:37:10,995 --> 00:37:13,531
and we have a kitchen set
up that our buyer will love.

1006
00:37:19,671 --> 00:37:22,841
- [Ashlee] And finally,
it's move in day for Henry.

1007
00:37:26,678 --> 00:37:28,246
In order to fill
out this huge house,

1008
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:30,915
our friends at the staging
company offered some furniture

1009
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:34,552
for sale, which Henry
gladly paired with his own,

1010
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:37,489
making this house a
fully finished home.

1011
00:37:37,489 --> 00:37:39,691
[upbeat rock music]

1012
00:37:44,963 --> 00:37:47,265
- [Justin] I can't believe
we finally got it done.

1013
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:48,867
- [Keith] Guys, we made that.

1014
00:37:48,867 --> 00:37:50,969
- [Ashlee] It's incredible.
It's absolutely incredible.

1015
00:37:50,969 --> 00:37:55,273
- That is 4,000 square
feet of awesome,

1016
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,442
- [Justin] But it sure
didn't start out that way.

1017
00:37:57,442 --> 00:37:59,611
This thing was a shell
of a house prior.

1018
00:37:59,611 --> 00:38:02,147
- [Keith] It was concrete
blocks and some framing.

1019
00:38:02,147 --> 00:38:05,083
- [Justin] Now it's a house.
- [Ashlee] A beautiful house.

1020
00:38:05,083 --> 00:38:06,317
- [Keith] Hey,
there's our buyer.

1021
00:38:06,317 --> 00:38:07,819
- [Ashlee] I'm so excited
for him to see it.

1022
00:38:07,819 --> 00:38:09,687
- I know.
- Finally finished.

1023
00:38:09,687 --> 00:38:11,022
Hey.
- What's up, guys?

1024
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:12,357
- [Keith] Hey, Henry.
- How are you?

1025
00:38:12,357 --> 00:38:13,391
- [Henry] Looks incredible.

1026
00:38:13,491 --> 00:38:15,026
- [Ashlee] Did you ever
think this day would happen?

1027
00:38:15,026 --> 00:38:16,528
- No.
[laughing]

1028
00:38:16,528 --> 00:38:19,597
I had my doubts for
sure, but I love it.

1029
00:38:19,597 --> 00:38:21,299
- That outside looks amazing.

1030
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:25,203
I love the brick and
the mortar and then that

1031
00:38:25,203 --> 00:38:28,439
tongue and groove ceiling on
the front porch looks amazing.

1032
00:38:28,439 --> 00:38:30,909
This is an incredible
transformation.

1033
00:38:30,909 --> 00:38:32,377
- All right guys, let's
go see the inside.

1034
00:38:32,377 --> 00:38:33,678
I want to play
with all the toys.

1035
00:38:33,678 --> 00:38:34,846
- Finally, finally.

1036
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,315
- [Justin] Man, it feels
like yesterday the inside

1037
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:40,852
was nothing but a
forest of two by fours.

1038
00:38:40,852 --> 00:38:42,353
- [Keith] Yeah, remember,
it was so confusing,

1039
00:38:42,353 --> 00:38:44,355
you couldn't tell what was what.

1040
00:38:44,355 --> 00:38:46,791
- [Justin] But now look at it.
- [Keith] Man.

1041
00:38:46,791 --> 00:38:48,526
- [Henry] This is incredible.
- [Ashlee] Unbelievable.

1042
00:38:48,526 --> 00:38:50,595
- [Justin] So spacious, you
could fly a kite in here.

1043
00:38:50,595 --> 00:38:53,998
- [Henry] Yeah, I'm really happy
with how the kitchen turned out.

1044
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:56,234
- [Keith] Even the lighting
in here is top of the line.

1045
00:38:56,234 --> 00:38:59,771
- The best part about this is
with all of our smart stuff

1046
00:38:59,771 --> 00:39:01,773
and my wires that
I had you guys run,

1047
00:39:01,773 --> 00:39:04,576
we have full control
over everything.

1048
00:39:04,576 --> 00:39:06,844
So like the pendants, if we
want to bring down the mood

1049
00:39:06,844 --> 00:39:08,613
a little bit, we
can drop 'em down.

1050
00:39:08,613 --> 00:39:09,814
- [Ashlee] Oh my goodness.

1051
00:39:09,814 --> 00:39:11,649
- Bring 'em back up when we're
actually working in here.

1052
00:39:11,649 --> 00:39:12,917
- [Keith] It's so cool that

1053
00:39:12,917 --> 00:39:14,485
you can control
it from anywhere.

1054
00:39:14,485 --> 00:39:18,823
- [Henry] In the living room,
we have our massive shades.

1055
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:20,358
- [Keith] You can voice
control these, right?

1056
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:21,593
- [Henry] Absolutely.

1057
00:39:21,593 --> 00:39:23,761
I can go like, "living
room shades up,"

1058
00:39:23,761 --> 00:39:24,929
and everything will just...

1059
00:39:24,929 --> 00:39:26,231
- [Ashlee] Wow.
- [Justin] What?!

1060
00:39:26,231 --> 00:39:28,399
- Head on up.
- That's so quiet.

1061
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:30,201
- [Ashlee] Guys, all our other
flips are gonna be jealous.

1062
00:39:30,201 --> 00:39:31,236
- [Keith] I know.

1063
00:39:31,236 --> 00:39:32,670
All right, hey, you guys
wanna see the upstairs?

1064
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:33,738
- [Justin] Let's do it.

1065
00:39:33,738 --> 00:39:35,206
- [Keith] Here's the
media room you wanted.

1066
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:37,408
- So this is my playroom.

1067
00:39:37,408 --> 00:39:39,277
- [Keith] Just like you
asked, we put four speakers

1068
00:39:39,277 --> 00:39:42,714
in the back, three in the
front, four in the ceiling,

1069
00:39:42,714 --> 00:39:44,616
and we dropped a couple
of subwoofers down

1070
00:39:44,616 --> 00:39:47,085
for the ultimate surround
sound experience.

1071
00:39:47,085 --> 00:39:48,820
- [Justin] That's
gotta sound incredible.

1072
00:39:48,820 --> 00:39:50,989
So happy that we were able
to pull all this off.

1073
00:39:50,989 --> 00:39:52,590
- I appreciate all you
guys, all your work.

1074
00:39:52,590 --> 00:39:53,791
- Absolutely.

1075
00:39:53,791 --> 00:39:56,194
- Yeah, it's, I mean,
it's our dream home,

1076
00:39:56,194 --> 00:39:58,196
so it's all come together
and it's amazing.

1077
00:39:58,196 --> 00:39:59,964
- Let's the three of
us go celebrate now.

1078
00:39:59,964 --> 00:40:01,032
- Yeah.
- All right?

1079
00:40:01,032 --> 00:40:02,267
- [Justin] Cool.
- Take care, Henry.

1080
00:40:02,267 --> 00:40:04,335
- All right, thanks guys.
- Bye, thank you.

1081
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:07,605
I admit, taking on this
project and the huge loan

1082
00:40:07,605 --> 00:40:09,674
that we needed for
it had me nervous

1083
00:40:09,674 --> 00:40:12,176
through the whole process,
but I couldn't be happier

1084
00:40:12,176 --> 00:40:14,646
with how things turned out
both for Henry and for us.

1085
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,348
We bought this
house for 550 grand,

1086
00:40:17,348 --> 00:40:20,184
and our reno costs went
over our 300k budget

1087
00:40:20,184 --> 00:40:22,787
by about 22 grand, but
hitting our timeline

1088
00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:25,156
kept our loan interest
close to what we expected

1089
00:40:25,156 --> 00:40:26,958
at about $23,000.

1090
00:40:26,958 --> 00:40:29,460
Add in the closing cost
of just over 58 grand

1091
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:33,164
and that puts our all
in cost at $954,000,

1092
00:40:33,164 --> 00:40:36,034
but with the sale
price of $1.3 million,

1093
00:40:36,034 --> 00:40:40,371
we made an incredible
profit of more than $345,000

1094
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:43,942
and that is absolutely
worth a celebration.

1095
00:40:46,644 --> 00:40:48,680
- [Justin] Well, gang, cheers
to getting Orangewood done.

1096
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,481
- Unbelievable.

1097
00:40:50,481 --> 00:40:52,417
It was so overwhelming,
the scale of it.

1098
00:40:52,417 --> 00:40:54,352
It was almost like a
commercial building.

1099
00:40:54,352 --> 00:40:56,220
All the technology,
all the details.

1100
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:58,089
- Especially when we
have a learning curve,

1101
00:40:58,089 --> 00:40:59,958
and we've never made a
house that tech savvy,

1102
00:40:59,958 --> 00:41:02,460
and we also haven't
done new construction.

1103
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:04,796
Also our highest sale
price ever on a property.

1104
00:41:04,796 --> 00:41:05,964
- Yeah.

1105
00:41:05,964 --> 00:41:07,598
- You know, we helped this
family get their dream home.

1106
00:41:07,598 --> 00:41:09,367
Guys, that's a huge
win in my book.

1107
00:41:09,367 --> 00:41:11,002
- Yeah.
- To the next one.

1108
00:41:11,002 --> 00:41:12,970
[glasses clinking]
- Yay.
