What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Sierra Filucci

FLIP THIS HOUSE follows teams of experienced real estate investors as they purchase undervalued property, renovate it, and sell it for a profit. Working under a deadline (which is largely artificial but helps build tension), the crew tears down rotting walls, installs new cabinetry, paints, builds extra rooms, and more while trying to keep costs down to maximize profit. In the process, tempers flare, workers go missing, friendships are tested, and stress reaches a high pitch before the house is ready for potential buyers.

Is It Any Good?

Flip This House strikes a fairly even balance between personal drama and home renovations, giving viewers a bit of both without drowning in either. Some crews have more colorful characters, and arguments occur more frequently within some groups. But overall, the crews are professional and have their eye focused on the profit margin. Younger viewers will find little to interest them -- though if they do watch, they might see heated disagreements, hear an occasional bleeped curse word, and be exposed to folks in mad pursuit of the dollar.
