Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa Season 1 Episode 7 Dancing With Disaster

In season 1 episode 7 of Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa, entitled "Dancing With Disaster," Tarek takes on a challenging flip in Garden Grove, California. The house was previously used as a dance studio, and although it has a lot of potential, it needs a lot of work. Tarek is confident that he can transform the space into a beautiful home, but he soon realizes that there are more issues with the house than he initially thought.

Tarek realizes that there are a lot of cosmetic issues with the house that need to be fixed to make it market-ready. There is old flooring that needs to be replaced, and the outside of the house needs a fresh coat of paint. Tarek's team starts working on these issues, but they soon realize that the house also has some major structural issues. The foundation is in bad shape and the roof needs to be replaced. Tarek knows that these issues need to be fixed if he wants to make a profit on the flip, but the additional costs are putting a strain on the budget.

To make matters worse, Tarek has difficulty selling the house once it's finished. He receives an offer, but it's much lower than he was hoping for. Tarek is convinced that the house is worth more than the offer and decides to hold out for a better offer. As he waits for another offer, Tarek decides to add some additional features to the house to make it more appealing to potential buyers. He adds a new deck to the backyard and upgrades the kitchen with new appliances.

Finally, Tarek receives another offer, but it's still lower than he had hoped for. Tarek decides to accept the offer, cut his losses, and move on to the next flip. Although he didn't make as much money as he had hoped for, Tarek learned a lot of valuable lessons during the process. He realized the importance of thoroughly checking for any potential issues with a house before buying it, and the importance of being flexible with his budget and timeline.
