  • Flip This House - Talk about it here!

    Flipping houses is the most tried-and-true way to make a fortune in real estate, but with the current slump in the housing market, the casts of A&E Network's series FLIP THIS HOUSE™ are facing hard truths and real panic as they return for a 4th Season. Flip This House will once again showcase returning casts in San Antonio and New Haven and brand new casts in Atlanta and Los Angeles as they flip houses for profit - buying, refurbishing, and re-selling properties — making lots of mischief and money along the way.

    Tackling one of the most exciting aspects of today's high-stakes real estate market — the transformation of an eyesore into a profit-making beauty — A&E's hour-long "docu-soap" follows the travails of real-estate investors in New Haven, CT, Los Angeles, CA, San Antonio, TX, and Atlanta GA, — where each boasts a team of characters that buys homes, renovates them in arecord time, then flips them for a profit. It sounds simple, but sparks fly and tempers are high before the fixer-uppers are ready to go back on the market.

    Rancho Montelongo


    Saturday, May 15 11:00am ET

     

    Every Texan needs a ranch, and when Armando gets a great deal on a huge property with a rustic feel, he decides to keep it for himself. Soon, he and Veronica are butting heads as they attempt to renovate the house quickly without blowing their budget. While Veronica focuses on quality kitchen cabinets and fancy tile floors, Armando keeps his eye on building equity until he's confronted by expensive construction snafus and a surprise snake attack. Meanwhile, Montelongo House Buyers has outgrown its small offices and David and Melina pound the pavement to find the ideal commercial space -- not their usual territory.

    A Flipper in Need

    Saturday, May 22 @ 11am/10C


    Veronica and Armando team up to help out family flippers. Vero's sister Becky and brother-in-law Jordan need some advice on how to flip their home. Armando sold them the house just a few years earlier and hardly recognizes the place when he and Veronica visit--doors dangle from hinges, broken glass litters the living room floor and five dogs have taken over the guest bedroom. Armando thinks the house has lost value since they moved in and is reluctant to help. Becky and Jordan need to prove that they can be responsible homeowners. Armando agrees to give them a second chance but not without putting them through flipping boot camp--they'll have to stick to a tight budget and do much of the work themselves. Becky and Jordan's laidback style clashes with Armando's take charge approach and it's up to Vero to mediate the family feud.

  • last show?

    I guess today's Flip This House with Than,Paul and DJ was the last one as they bought and fixed up a house in San Diego.I'll miss these guys!!!I couldn't make out what year it was filmed but think it was in 2009.You can see them on YT in new promotional clips.

  • Overpowering background music

    I only recently started watching a few episodes, but I have found the background music sometimes so loud that I can barely hear the dialogue. I wish they would eliminate any background music when people are speaking. I am about to stop recording any more episodes because I find it so frustrating. Is anyone else annoyed by it? If I want music, I'll turn on the radio. Too bad, it's an informative show.

  • LOVE the show--PLEASE leave the drama OUT

    My husband and I have been watching FTH New Haven for several years. We LOVE the show!! However, recently, the producers (or whoever) have started to add drama (waaay too much drama!!) to the show, which takes so much away from what the show is really about--watching the process of flipping houses. No disrespect or personal offense, but if I want drama, I will turn off the TV and just live life! We stopped watching the other FTHs because of the drama they added. FTH New Haven is our favorite, but if it keeps adding drama, we won't watch it anymore either. I hate to say that, because that show has become such a part of our Saturday mornings!! We love to get up on Sat mornings and have our coffee and watch a marathon of FTH New Haven...WITHOUT THE DRAMA! Seriously, we love watching the whole process: the acquisition of the property, the "before" of the house, the renovation of the house, the completion of the house and the end result--how much was put in, how much was budgeted, how much they made on the house, etc. That ALONE makes the show AWESOME. You don't need so much drama that has been put in lately. I PROMISE people will watch even more WITHOUT the drama. Please, just leave the drama to Jersey Housewives or whatever it is...and let someone else enjoy the drama---we have enough in our own lives. We don't want to watch it first thing on Saturday mornings. Please--keep up the great work, guys. We love FTH New Haven---without the drama!! Thanks guys for an awesome show. God bless you all in your endeavors. ~Susanne & David Mitchell

    I get tired of the same houses being shown too.I think A and E didn't film Than and the Esajian brothers that often those two years they were on the air ( 2008-2009 )

    They are showing the final show again right now in San Diego.

    At the end of the show today I decided to look up their house at the corner of Diamond and Dawes.Its for sale and it was last sold in 2007 ( when filming ended and they moved into that two story house ).They must have decided to sell it.

  • Still a current show?

    So is this still a current show? It seems odd that a&e is showing 6 episodes of it this weekend, but all of them are 3 years old or older, and there haven't been any new ones shown for 3 years, even though anywhere from 2 to 6 episodes are shown every Saturday.

  • The “Go To Guy” Hercules

    Flip this House is a great show which I‘ve been watching for years. I think a great idea for a new season would be if the “Go To Guy” Hercules had his own show were he would purchase 2 acres of land, buy old mobile homes, fix them up and sell them rent to own. I strongly believe he could carry a show with his great personality. Flipping Dixie was also a good show but I only saw it once.

  • Re: Flip This House - Talk about it here!

    I have a question about all flip shows. Why doesn't ANYONE ever install anything that would be helpful to handicapped people? I'm not handicapped, but do you have any idea how nice it is to have a handicapped toilet when you have pneumonia? Much easier to get up and down. Also, do you know how nice 36" doors are when moving furniture, as well as getting a wheelchair in and out of rooms? While ceramic flooring is nice, do you have a clue as to what it feels like to fall on those? Wet and naked, I might add. My neighbor can tell you what it felt like not being able to move for 20 minutes till she could get to a phone. I wish I would have thought to do some of this for my parents. But sometimes we don't think that far into the future. Would be nice to see someone fix a house for a normal to handicapped person. Not just those who can afford those outlandish houses that offer nothing but fluff and bling. Just my thoughts.

  • flip this house

    Montelongo is a whiny cheapskate. He has his project manager scrimp and cut corners and put in less than quality renovations. He says himself that it's a gamble he takes, but then whines when an unforeseen problem pops up. I sure do hope they all have contractor's licenses and he got permits to do the work. It was another black mark that his wife was "forcing" the PM to learn spanish. They should use english speaking workers or were they using illegals? It was also terrible of him to toss all the trash roadside instead of in a dumpster. Good thing he isn't in my part of the country......the inspectors would rip him up.

  • Re: Flip This House - Talk about it here!

    I flipped over there and saw Armondo, and I refuse to watch that fraudulent crook. I can not believe A&E still show him on this network! No way did I leave it there. I am watching the History channel.

    Yeah, I agree. I hope that a new season (or even a 13 episode half-season) can be commitioned.

    I still like him most of the time.They quit filming him about 3 or 4 years ago.I prefer Than and the Easijan brothers but they only filmed for 2 or 3 years.The last show was when the brothers fixed up that duplex in San Diego and now its for sale.
