In season 3 episode 3 of Flip This House, titled "Flip 101," the team returns to San Antonio, Texas to tackle another renovation project. However, this time they are taking on a completely different type of property than what they are used to. Javier, the project manager, expresses his concern with the challenge ahead of them as they take on an office building.
Throughout the episode, the team faces numerous obstacles including dealing with city permits, unexpected structural issues, and a tight deadline for completion. They also must navigate the complexities of turning a commercial property into a residential one, a new territory for the team.
As the project progresses, the team is forced to work together to find solutions for each issue they face. They brainstorm creative ideas, put in countless hours of hard work, and make difficult decisions all in the hopes of turning this commercial building into a profitable residential space.
One of the main challenges the team faces is figuring out how to make the building's exterior look more appealing. They decide to add a welcoming new entrance along with some fresh landscaping. To add to the appeal, they install a modern fence around the property to secure the new buyer's privacy.
Inside the building, the team decides to create an open-concept living area by removing several walls that originally separated rooms. This not only creates a more spacious feel, but it also allows for more natural light to flow throughout the property. Additionally, the team adds a new bathroom and a fresh coat of paint to the walls to give the property a modern touch.
Another struggle the team faces is the unexpected structural issues they come across when taking down walls. They discover an old termite infestation and rotting beams, both of which require immediate attention. This leads to a delay in the project as the team has to bring in additional professionals to address the problem.
Despite these obstacles, the team remains determined and keeps pushing forward, finding creative solutions to each problem they encounter. They bring in a local contractor to assist with some of the electrical issues that arise, and after much hard work, the team finally completes the renovation project and puts the property on the market.
In the end, the team's hard work and perseverance pays off as they successfully sell the residential property for a profit. The project proves to be a valuable learning experience for the team, as they tackle a new type of property and learn how to overcome unforeseen challenges.
Flip This House season 3 episode 3, "Flip 101," showcases the team's ability to adapt to new situations and overcome obstacles in their pursuit of success. It is a testament to their hard work and determination, and the end result is a beautiful residential property ready for a new family to call home.
