Watch The Deed: Chicago

A first-time Chicago flipper faces foreclosure after a contractor took her money, did shoddy work, and lied about inspections.

Best friends Mike and Liviu want to become the Bungalow Kings of Chicago. The young rookie developers have snapped up two of the tiny, old-fashioned houses. Not only do they plan to supersize both into three-story, ultra-modern, four-bedroom homes, but they also think they can supersize their profits by renovating both at the same time. Sean is tempted by the potential for a double profit and is intrigued by Mike and Liviu's business plan of cornering the market in bungalow renovations all across the city. However, will partnering with these inexperienced developers on a challenging reno really turn out twice as nice? Or, will it just cause double the trouble?

Robin purchased a 19th-century Greystone on Chicago's South Side, but the ambitious project is over budget and months behind schedule.

Successful Chicago broker Nick originally planned a six-month reno, but he's been leaning on all the wrong people and the stalled project is now costing him money.

An Ambitious contractor tries to turn his dark past into a bright future, but his latest project will either make or break both his career and his finances.

Caren and her husband Nic have a good track record as home flippers, but their first attempt at building a house from the ground up is causing them serious problems. The couple have only just started construction on the elaborately designed, luxury four-bedroom house, but Sean is shocked to learn that it's already $100,000 over budget. Caren, an award-winning interior designer, seems reluctant to compromise on any of her big ideas or her costly finishes. Sean sets out to get the project back on track but teaching Caren to build for profit, not just for prestige, proves a real challenge.
