[Heather] Oh, do we do oatmeal
with prunes and breast milk?

[imitating plane sounds]

[Tristan] Mmm.

[Tarek] Ooh, that's yummy.

[Heather] Is that good, baby?

-Can I have some?
-Sure.

No, it has breast milk.

-You just asked for some.
-I was kidding.

[both laugh]

[Tarek] Sure, get it.

[phone ringing]

Who's that? Tell him we're in
the middle of breakfast.

What's up, Adam?

[Adam] Hey, quick question.

Remember that house that
we bought in Laguna Niguel?

That seller has another house,

and she just reached out
to me,

and she wants
to sell it to us.

Where's this house at?

[Adam] It's in Garden Grove.

Oh, I love Garden Grove.

Yeah, we've had some
pretty good luck there, so...

It is such an awesome city
to flip in,

because the houses
in Garden Grove

are typically entry level.

They're not very big,
and there's just
so much demand.

If you get it
at the right price,

you know you're going to exit
with a good profit.

[Adam] The house
is three bedroom, two bath.

Just under 1,300 square feet.

-We can pick it up
for $615,000.
- [Heather] Oh.

[Adam] I think it's worth
$900,000 to $950,000.

Wow.

We used to buy houses
in Garden Grove
for like $250,000.

We'd put $100,000 into them
and sell them for $500,000.

Those houses today are selling
for $1.2m, $1.3m.

[Heather] Does this look
familiar to you?

[Tarek] Uh-huh.

-Good neighborhood, right?
-Yeah.

Wait, this one.

-[Tarek] Is that it?
-Yeah.

[Tarek] Oh, my God.

[Heather] That's a lot
of junk already.

This is beat up.

[Tarek]
Got the shared driveway,
single level.

This looks like a mess.

Yeah.

Is this house nasty,
stinky, dirty?

No idea.
I'm about to find out.

Like a surprise every time.

[Tarek] Every time.

Well, for sure
we need a new roof.

Look at this thing.

-You see how they just put
layer on top of a layer?
-[Heather] Yeah.

How many is that, four layers?

[Tarek]
It looks like it. Yeah.

[Heather]
How much would a new roof
on something like this be?

On a 1,300 square foot house.

[Tarek]
Here, probably $15,000.

[Heather] Wow.

This whole front of the house
is concrete, though.

Look at this.
It's all concrete.

[Heather] Yeah.

I think we need to add some
curb appeal to this house.

Why don't we do some
siding here or some wood?

Like some wood shutters
around the windows,
a wood door,

and just bring some warmth--

[Tarek] Look at you.

-Bam, bam, bam!
-[laughing]

Oh yeah.
Bring the design, baby.

[Tarek] All right.

Doesn't stink. All right.

-Mmm.
-[Heather] Wow.

Oh, there's a pool.

[Heather] Yes.

[Tarek] Well, could be good.

Could be bad.

This is brown.

Drab.

Uh, beat up.

[Tarek]
This whole thing's weird.

I don't like
how the dining room is just

-sitting here
by the front door.
-Yeah.

So that's why we'd have
to open up this wall.

It's very closed off.

It looks like
the kitchen's back there.

We can. Look.

-Right?
-Yeah.

This part's not load-bearing
because it has a pocket door.

Which means it's not solid.

But here's the thing, though.

The kitchen only goes back
like 12 feet.

What's past the kitchen?

-That's what I'm--
-Let's go see.

So washer and dryer here.

[Tarek] Yeah.

And then we have
a bathroom here.

There's going to be a lot
of structural with this house.

[Heather] So is this bathroom
the guest powder bathroom,

or is this for this bedroom?

[Tarek] Oh, I hope
this isn't the primary.

This is tiny.

[Heather] Tiny.

[Tarek]
If this is the primary,
that's a big problem.

[Heather] Let's go this way.

[Tarek] A fireplace.

[Heather] I like that
we have a fireplace.

[Tarek] Kind of a weird
fireplace, though.

[Heather] It looks very fake.

What is this? Oh, no.

It's real stone.

Well, you could probably
modernize it.

Big chunky wood mantle
or something.

[Heather] Let's go see
the other bedrooms.
There's two more.

[Tarek] Yeah.

So look at... so you have
the bathroom in the middle,

and then you have
split bedrooms.

This bedroom's bigger
than the primary,

and it has a full-size closet.

This house doesn't make sense.
How it was built.

[Heather]
This is a good-sized bathroom.

What's this
right here, though?

Okay, it's a storage.

You know what?

I wonder if we could move
the water heater over here,

relocate the laundry,
and then expand the primary.

[Heather] Yeah, I like that.

So make
the primary bathroom bigger.

There's a lot
of reconfiguring.

Let's see
how big this room is.

-[Tarek] Oh, this is the
biggest room in the house.
-Oh.

[Tarek] The smallest bedroom's
the primary.

So let's go back over there

-and see how
we can expand the primary.
-Okay.

[Heather] Because we can't
reconfigure things over here.

It would cost way too much.

So we could extend the kitchen
all right along this wall.

[Tarek] Yeah, we could.

We can push the kitchen
over four or five feet.

Okay.

So we shift the kitchen.

Okay, I have an idea.

Would this work
if we closed this off?

So this door is gone.

This would be
a walk-in closet,
bathroom, primary.

So you walk
through the bathroom
into your walk-in closet.

You know, if we did that,

maybe we can move
this wall over.

Okay.

And we can move
this bedroom wall over a foot.

[Heather] So everything
would be moved over.

Shifted, and then we'll have
like a bigger primary, right?

[Heather] Okay.

There's big potential
in this little house,

but we do have to reconfigure
the layout quite a bit.

First, we're going
to move the laundry room

into the hallway storage
to free up space
for the primary.

[Tarek] Then we're going to be
removing the living room wall

to open up the kitchen,

giving it
a much more spacious feel.

In the primary, we're going
to shift the bathroom

over a few feet

in order to enlarge
the tiny bedroom

as much as we possibly can.

[Heather] And finally,
we'll create a walk-in closet,

utilizing the old
laundry space

plus a couple feet
of the existing kitchen.

Let's go look at the backyard.

Oh, this is kind of cool.
Look at this.

It's covered.

So why don't we do
something cool right here,

like make this
like a sitting area?

[Tarek] You know
what would be nice, actually,

if we extended
the patio cover?

So now it's like a full
covered outdoor living space.

So this whole thing
is covered.

I love that idea.

And then we can
stage it with a couch,
a table, and a TV.

I mean, buyers would flip.

I like that.
Get rid of this fence.

[Tarek] Oh,
look at all this concrete.

See how it's sloping
and cracking everywhere?

[Heather]
What would that mean?

[Tarek] That's new concrete.

That's old concrete.

Oh, this is a problem.

This could be 30, 40 grand
back here alone, you know?

[Tarek] Oh, this is a problem.

Look at all this concrete.

See how it's sloping
and cracking everywhere?

This could be 30, 40 grand
back here alone, you know?

[Heather] I don't like
concrete around the pool.

We need to do
something back here
to give it some love.

[Tarek] We need to bring up
almost all of this concrete

and then we can just
redo things.

But what do you think
about this house?

I like it.

-Yeah, me too, actually.
-I like the size.

It's very peaceful here.

-I like the vibe.
-I like that there's
no neighbors behind.

[Heather] Yeah,
it's very quiet, it's calm.

Do you think it's worth it?

I mean,
I think it'd be a good flip.

Do you think that...
are you okay?

No, I've had something
in my eye for like 20 minutes.

Baby, I have eye drops.

You know
I don't like eye drops.

No, no, no, I don't need them.
I'm fine, it's gone.

Okay,
don't touch your eye then.

Come on.

-No, it's actually fine now.
-Bend down.

No, no, legitimately,
for real, check this out.

Come on, bend down.

Go like this.

Okay, good.

Now, keep it open.

There, got it.

[sighs]

Want me to do one more?

-No, no, it's great.
-[laughs]

All right, well,
let's talk real quick.

[Heather]
What's our numbers on this?

Just to redo the pool,
the plaster, coping
and all that,

it's probably
like 10 grand, 12 grand.

Roof?

Roof, 15 grand.

Backyard, reconfiguring
this whole side of the house.

-[Tarek] Let me call Adam.
-Okay.

-[Adam] Hello.
-Hey, dude.

What up?

Hey, quick question,
have you seen this house

in Garden Grove yet?

Just the photos,
I haven't seen it in person.

Okay, so we're estimating it
to be about $175,000.

What are they asking
for this thing again?

Uh, we can get it
for $615,000.

Then we should be exiting
at $950,000-ish.

[Tarek] If we reconfigure
the floor plan,

it's gonna have
an awesome layout.

There's a huge yard,
it has a big pool,

and then also
behind the house,
it backs to a school,

so maybe even a million.

[Heather] Yeah.

Let's do it. Let's write
the offer at $615,000 then.

-We're good with that price.
-Yeah.

[Adam] Perfect, okay.

I'll give you a holler back
and let you know

once we have it locked in.

All right, buddy. Bye.

Okay, offer's going out.

I like it.

[Tarek] We were able
to purchase the house
as planned for $615,000.

With an estimated bid
at $175,000

and added selling
and holding costs,

we are all in at 875,000.

Comps in the area suggest
a listing price

between $950,000
and $1 million.

So if we don't get hit
with a lot of added costs,

that puts our potential profit
of cool $100,000.

What's up, Jake?

[Jake] Hey,
what's going on, man?

Not much,
how you doing, buddy?

I'm doing all right,
I'm over here in Garden Grove.

I was wondering
if you had time to stop by

so I can get going
on the drywall.

I can swing by,
are you gonna be there?

Yeah, I'll be here
for about another hour.

Okay, I'll leave here
in like 15, 20 then.

-Thanks, man.
-All right, buddy.

[Heather] Hi, babe.

Hey, babe, Jake just called
the Garden Grove house.

He did a bunch of work

and he needs us
to go approve things.

-Look at how cute--
-Oh, look at him.

So I told him we'd be there
in like an hour.

Can we do that?

Oh no, baby.

I have a appointment
with Tristan.

So what's this
doctor appointment for?

[Heather] Just a checkup.

[Tarek] Oh, you told me
about this, didn't you?

Okay, let me cancel
with Jake then.

No, no, no,
you don't need to cancel.

Why don't you drop me
and Tristan?

You can go to Garden Grove

and then pick us up
on the way back.

I won't be in trouble?

No, it's okay,
because you've gone
a lot with me.

I can drop you off,
shoot over to Garden Grove.

By the time I come back,
you guys will be done.

Oh, his sock is falling off.

Babies always lose
their socks.

All right, let's load him up.

[Heather] All right.

-Jake, is that you?
-[Jake] Hey.

What's up, buddy?

Is this house almost done?

It doesn't look like it.

[Jacob laughs]
You wish, you wish.

Oh, my God.

[Jake] Yeah,
it looks different.

[Tarek] What's up, buddy?

How's it going?

-Just as a quick recap,
if I remember,
-[Jake] Sure.

we're planning on opening
the wall just to right here.

This is actually gonna
open it up a lot.

Yeah, but I have
a little bit bad news.

Actually, take a look at this.

So we have to keep this wall.

[Tarek] Wait, wait, wait.

Are you talking about
this one right here?

-Yes, we have
to keep that one.
-No.

[Jake] Yeah, we're running
a beam here,

and because this
roof pitch here,

we kind of have
to have this wall

sticking out a little bit.

Okay, so it's coming out
this way,

and then this wall's
coming this way,

like this is our kitchen,
this little box.

That's not a real big kitchen.

Shoot.

Is there any way
to... [clears throat]

-Make the kitchen
a little bigger?
-[laughs]

Well, you probably can,

but you'll lose
on your walk-in closet.

We're already encroaching
a little bit in there.

If we take any more,

it's no longer
a walk-in closet.

[sighs] Oh, my gosh.

So, I mean,
so this is the kitchen.

Yeah.

If we go from a walk-in closet
to a regular closet,

-this is now the kitchen.
-Yeah.

So we gained two feet.

Let me call Heather,
I'm just gonna ask her.

Actually, no,
she's at the doctor's.

Okay, I can't call her.

-Well [bleep]
-[both laugh]

What I'm trying
to figure out is,

are we gonna get
a better price

with a smaller kitchen

and a walk-in closet
and a larger primary suite,

or a two foot larger kitchen,
but no walk-in closet?

So it's two feet versus
an entire walk-in closet.

Yeah.

Honestly, once this wall's up,

like this ain't gonna work.

Yeah, it's pretty tight.

Okay, so forget that.

We can't have
that small of a kitchen.

So let's just do
a regular closet

and then
let's bump the kitchen over
as far as we can then.

Okay.

Like this is where
the old wall was.

We're really just
probably gonna put it back.

[Tarek] Okay.

What else do you got, Jake?

[Jake] We haven't even made it
outside yet.

Oh, my gosh, this house
is problem after problem.

-Did you redo the pool?
-[Jake] No.

Wasn't it green
or am I imagining that?

[Jake]
Just filled it up and cleaned,
and got the filter running.

What about all this concrete,
all the pebble,

all the landscape?

Yeah, so we do have a budget
of $7,000 for landscape.

You need new sod in the front.

We need sprinklers back here.

We're gonna do some sod,
clean up the planter areas,

but that doesn't include
any concrete, by the way.

Now, obviously you see
some cracks over here.

[Tarek] The big thing here
is trying to soften the yard

because there's
just concrete everywhere.

[Jake] Right.

What if we just saw cut,
you see this curve here?

Yeah.

[Tarek] Saw cut along this.

So all that concrete
along that line is gone

and now we add flowers,
planter, mulch.

-Soften it.
-I love it.

I think we came up
with a plan here.

[Jake] I think so.

-Look at that.
-There you go.

-All right,
I'm feeling a lot better.
-[laughing]

[Tarek]
I can't tell you how happy
it makes me see these photos.

Like seriously.

Okay, done.

-[Tarek] All right, done?
-What do you think?

-Oh, I love it.
-Pretty even?

[Tarek] I love it.

-[Heather] Okay.
-Hmm.

So, Garden Grove.

So I've been working
with Rejoy a lot on the design

and I wanted to bring in
pops of... pink!

No.

-Red.
-No.

-Green.
-No.

Blue.

-[laughs]
-Maybe green or blue.

Okay, blue.

-Okay.
-Not like a bright blue.

What do you mean pops of blue,

is this for kitchen cabinets?

-Is this for--
-Kitchen cabinets.

So Rejoy thought
the only way to find this blue

was if we bought cabinets
and custom painted them.

So custom, custom,
that's already too expensive.

But I did some research

and I found some
prefab cabinets that are blue.

Okay.

I love the color online.

So the sample is here.
Okay.

I'm hoping
that we love the color

and guess how much money
we would save?

Uh, 50%.

[Heather] $7,000.

[grunts] Ooh.

-That is--
-That's gorgeous.

Let me see that.
It's like a deep--

-Gorgeous.
-Navy.

This works. I mean,

it's gonna have
a real designer look to it.

Okay, so the foundation
of the kitchen

is gonna be the blue cabinets

-and we're gonna
work around that.
-Yes.

I mean, have you started
to see some inspiration?

We have a whole design board.

Okay, so you and Rejoy
have been working on it.

We've been working on this
for a long time.

But this is amazing.

This saves us $7,000
instead of painting.

Okay, done.

Okay, so take a look
at this with me real quick.

Did I tell you
about the change

that we made
to the kitchen or no?

[Heather] Um,
I don't think so.

[Tarek] Okay, so this
is the Garden Grove.

This is the front door, right?

-Yep.
-So before we were
gonna have bathroom,

-walk-in closet and kitchen.
-Yes.

But then
the kitchen felt tiny.

-It did?
-Yeah.

So what I had them do,

instead of doing
a walk-in closet,

we went
to a regular closet that--

-No...
-But we have
a bigger kitchen now.

So now it's just like
a normal sliding closet?

Yeah, but we have
a bigger kitchen.

Hmm.

It's weird having a closet
in a bathroom as it is,

but it looks good
if it's a walk-in closet,

because it's like grand.

You're walking
through your bathroom

to get to your walk-in closet.

If you're walking
into your bathroom

and you have
the sink right here,

you have the toilet
right here,

so it's gonna be a tiny space
to open your closet.

And it's just
this dinky little slider.

And you're on the toilet

and you're trying
to get into your closet

and the toilet's right here.

Say I was going potty
and you had to grab a shirt.

You're gonna walk over me
to get a shirt.

-Depends if you're doing
number one or two.
-[chuckles]

I don't do number two, okay?

Don't you think that's,
I get it, what you're saying.

Smaller kitchen,
nobody likes
a smaller kitchen,

but I wanna keep
the walk-in closet.

Yeah, well,
I guess based on this,

if I'm on the toilet,

I could literally
open and close
the closet door, right?

So that is weird.

Kinda gross.

[laughs]
I don't know, it's just--

Okay, fine,
you want the walk-in closet,

-smaller kitchen?
-Yes.

And I love that
you made these decisions

without even asking me.

And obviously it was
a wrong decision you made.

Oh, really?
It was a wrong decision.

Yes.

[Heather] Okay, so this is
a blue cabinet house.

The design is featured
around blues, whites,

-like some silver.
-But not the whole kitchen.

It was just the island
or something, right?

-Not the whole...
-[chuckles] You'll see.

What's up, Rejoy.

Hey there.

[Tarek] All right,
let's see this thing.

[Rejoy] All right,
let's do it.

[Heather] Here we go.

Oh, my gosh,
that's the kitchen?

[Rejoy] This is our kitchen.

[Tarek] Well,
that's not looking good.

It's small.

So do you remember I said

I wanted to make
the kitchen bigger?

What I did
is I moved it to here.

It still would've been small.

Exactly, but this is small.

This is tiny.

But what happened
to that bathroom,
laundry area,

and the kitchen
pushed all the way out?

I didn't think
it was gonna be this small.

I thought it would at least,
we'd have,

I mean, I guess to here.

Well, remember,
because we made

the primary bedroom larger.

-[Heather] Yeah, but I--
-And this is what we got.

[Heather] I wasn't envisioning
it to be that big.

Let's just go look.

So you see, this used to be
the closet, right?

Which means
this was the bedroom.

-We wanted a bigger bedroom.
-Yeah, we did.

So we got a bigger bedroom.

The closet was there,
it's gone.

Now, this is
our new primary bathroom,

and then this is
a walk-in closet.

So my thought was
to make it smaller,

just having a regular closet,
moving it to right here.

I don't think we, I mean...

I don't think we can
sell the house like this.

I feel like we over-built
this primary.

All right, let's go look
at the kitchen again.

Let's go look, yeah.

I mean,
we can make the kitchen
look a little larger

by expanding it out
to this area.

We could do some type of
island here with the chairs,

so that's like
the dining area.

That would be the only space
for a dining room.

Okay, so maybe we just
put cabinets here,

and under the window,
we could put a bench
for seating.

So it feels like it's
an extension of the kitchen?

Visually, the kitchen's gonna
be that wall to that wall,

which is like 15 feet.

That wall to that wall.

-It's actually a big kitchen.
-Uh-huh.

[Tarek] It's gonna come out
to about...

-Whoa, watch your shoes.
-[laughs]

So this is why
I hire a contractor...

So these cabinets
would come across that way.

And then we would
also do an island

somewhere in this vicinity.

[Tarek] Yeah,
here's what I'm worried about.

Let's just say
the island starts...

[Rejoy] Ooh,
I wouldn't go that far.

-That's too big.
-[Rejoy] That's too big.

I would say like here to here.

[Rejoy] Exactly.

So we're gonna go
this direction,

and we're gonna have
the walk-in closet.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

[Rejoy] I think you get
the best of both worlds.

The kitchen is the heart
of the home.

The kitchen is where
most people spend their time.

Buyers usually want
a larger kitchen.

So by carrying the cabinets
into the dining area,

it gives the illusion

that the kitchen is larger
than it is.

So buyers are not gonna
even feel like the kitchen

is as tight as it is.

So now that the kitchen
is kind of figured out,

let's get into the design

so we can only start
locking things in.

So Heather and I
have talked about

maybe starting the blue,
the entry door.

So you come in,
you get introduced
to the blue there.

Then as you come in,
the whole kitchen being blue.

-The whole kitchen is blue?
-Yeah.

Okay, see, I didn't know that.

Well, we have a slab
that's more light,

a back splash
that's more light and white.

So you have
some brightness there.

-It's not all blue.
-Actually, that could be nice,

though,
if we did blue cabinets

with like a white back splash,

-a light gray.
-Yeah, of course.

The blue sprinkled
throughout the house.

[Rejoy] Let me actually paint
the whole picture, right?

What if we do that with that?

That is your back splash
and that.

[Tarek] Okay, I like that.

[Rejoy] Absolutely timeless
and handsome.

Okay, so--

I think we should talk
about the primary bedroom

because I think we need
a wow factor on that wall.

And I know you like those
geometric kind of designs.

-So, okay, here we go.
-[Heather] Oh, yeah.

Oh, that's what
I'm talking about.

-I like that.
-RIght?

[Heather] Well, this is cheap.

It's not gonna be
that expensive,

but it'll be major wow factor.

And keeping it
that blue color.

-[Rejoy] Yes.
-So this is the actual color?

[Rejoy]
That's the actual color.

So it's a rich navy.

And then the rest
of the walls,

I'm proposing we do
this color.

It's almost like
a blue gray white.

And then we just accent it
with the navy here and there.

-Yeah, I like this color.
-[Heather] Yeah.

[Rejoy] Now we go into
the primary bathroom.

We need to repeat
the blue again.

So Heather and I found this.

What do you think of this?

He's gonna say
it's too much blue.

I mean, we're kind of
all in with the blues

-at this point.
-Oh, we're committed.

Let's do it.
Let's go, come on.

-She's selling it.
-All right, fine, I'm in.

Okay.

So then in the shower,
I'm proposing...

Yes.

Yes, look how gorgeous
with the floor.

So keeping
the floor consistent.

So this is your color scheme.

And the only other thing
that we're adding,

this on the pan of the shower.

Because we don't want this
to be lonely.

It needs a friend.

-Yeah.
-[Heather] Let's do it.

-[Rejoy] Yeah, I like it.
-So that is locked in.

Okay, that's everything.

-Um...
-Except the backyard, which...

...which I feel like
because the house is so small,

we would need the backyard
to be really gorgeous.

So, Rejoy, this is
what we were thinking.

At our old Costa Mesa house,
when you walk out our slider,

we had a covered patio,
heat lamps,

-couch, dining table, TV.
-[Rejoy] Hmm.

We literally lived there.
Every single night,

we would sit outside
right off the slider
for hours, right?

-I love that.
-[Heather] Yeah.

So, the goal would be
to extend the roof line,

-bring it here.
-Okay.

[Tarek] And then
to do some type of a tile

-from here over to make it
its own separate space.
-[Rejoy] Mmm.

So, tile-wise, Rejoy,

we need to look
and find something
that will look good.

[Rejoy] Okay.

[Tarek] Well, let me see
if they cut the concrete.

Oh, lookit, they did.

The whole yard was concrete,
so I was trying to soften it.

-I mean, do you like that?
-Yeah, I do.

I mean, I think it's better
than having all concrete,

'cause it was so, like, stark.

-Like, concrete
and hard, yeah.
-[Rejoy] Hard. Yeah.

[Heather] But what if we just
got rid of all the concrete,

and we did sod up to the pool?

-[Rejoy] The grass would
add so much softness.
-[Heather] Mm-hmm.

I think it would look
clean and nice.

-But, like, what if we create
a walking path right here?
-[Heather] Yeah.

[Tarek] But the way to do it
to save thousands of dollars

instead of pouring concrete,

just go to the store
and buy, you know,
24-inch-by-24-inch

-concrete blocks...
-Yeah.

[Tarek] ...and we just
set them.

-I like that.
-[Rejoy] Yeah.

And actually, we can just
take it here from this side
of the house,

wrap it all the way
right across

to that side of the house.

So, we could do
the tile to here,

and then the pavers
could come in here

-with the grass in between?
-[Heather] Mm-hmm.

-Oh, that could look nice.
-[Rejoy] So, it's kind
of a way to marry

the grass and the tile
right here.

-[Tarek] Let's do that.
-Yeah.

[Rejoy] That's gonna
be beautiful.

-Really beautiful.
-Let's do that.

So, I think we got a plan.

[Heather] All right,
I like it.

So, let's make sure
everything's in stock.

Let's get it ordered

'cause we gotta finish
this house. I mean,
we-- we're behind.

So, now it's on Jake.

-We should send him a note.
-[Heather] Oh, yeah.

A threat, "If you don't
finish this house...

-[Heather] Then what?
-...I will steal your dog."

-Does he have a dog?
-I don't know.

[Heather] No,
don't write that.
But just write,

-"Finish this house or else."
-Yeah...

-Yes!
-Yes!

[Rejoy and Heather laugh]

[Heather] Oh, oh,
it's bleeding.

-[Tarek] Exactly.
-[Rejoy exclaims]

-Oh, my God!
-[Heather] Oh, great.

-Whoo!
-[Rejoy laughs]

-I love it.
-[Tarek] Is that scary?

[Heather laughs]

[Heather] You have my silk
pillowcase on your pillow,

your nasty pillow.
It's disgusting.

-What's wrong with my pillow?
-It's brown.

It's a 20-something-year-old
pillow.

-[Heather] Yeah, it's brown.
-It's like-- It's like my...

You know, like, kids,
they have their blanket?

-[Heather] Yeah, it's your--
-I got a pillow.

Smells nice.

-Ew! I don't want
your nasty thing!
-It is my pillow.

What are you--
What are you "ew-ing"

-my pillow for?
-Ew! Yeah, it's disgusting.

I've had it
for, like, 30 years.

[Heather] Why is it brown?

[Tarek] Well, it was
the look back then,

-they faded the colors
of pillows.
-[laughs]

-[cell phone ringing]
-Here, Jake's calling, love.

[Tarek] All right.

-[Heather] Hi, Jake.
-[Jake] Hey, how's it going?

-I'm good. How are you?
-What's up, Jake?

[Jake] I'm doing all right.
I'm all right.

I got the nice message
you spraypainted
on the wall for me,

so I wanted to keep you
in the loop here.

I kind of ran
into a little situation

regarding the back patio.

[Heather] What's going on?

[Jake] Well, after discussing
with the city,

and, uh, some of the things
that they're requiring is
gonna cost a pretty penny.

They want us to add
some shear panel,

-remove some stucco,
add footings.
-What? [scoffs]

-[Jake] Um, it kind of just
got the cost...
-[inaudible]

[Jake] ...to about $15,000
in order to do this.

Wait, just for the roof?

[Jake] Yeah, exactly.

-No way.
-[Jake] Don't think so, Tarek.

No way. Yeah, can't do it.

[sighs]

How about we put up cloth?
We got a couple of T-shirts.

And we could use
my old pillowcase,
we'll make a little,

-uh, patio cover.
-Ew, no one will touch
that thing.

'Cause why don't we seriously
go buy a huge piece of cloth

and we just nail it
into the four corners?

[Jake] I'm down for that.

[Tarek] Just to create,
like, a layer of shade.

[Jake] Like I did something
at my house.

We could still give you guys
that backyard, uh, relaxation
kind of vibe to it and--

[Heather] Okay,
if we can make it look nice,

-then sure.
-[Jake] Okay.

Of everything
we're doing at this house,

I was most excited
for the area

right off the slider

because I just imagined this,
like, indoor-outdoor living,
firepit, TV.

We envisioned it
because we lived
in a home that had that,

and we knew how much
we loved that.

Jake, also, I was expecting
a delivery to show up.

It would have been
a huge furniture piece size.

Um, did that arrive yet?

[Jake] Yes, it did.

[Heather] So, the dining area,
we're gonna add that island,

-so we need to go and make
sure it's the right size.
-Okay.

And if not,
we have to return it,
and order a new one ASAP,

before we're finished
with the house.

Okay, Jake, where are we at
with the change orders?

[Jake] You know,
the extended kitchen
is $2,700.

Demoing all the...
the concrete in the backyard,

it was, uh, $13,000 for that.

And by the way,
when we, uh, demoed
all this concrete,

we had a better look
at all the plumbing
for the pool.

And all the plumbing
is in bad shape,

so we have to redo
the plumbing as well.

And that's, like,
an additional $5,000.

-$5,000?
-Just the plumbing
for the pool?

[Jake] Yeah, and with that,

we're having to replace
the coping as well.

So... so, where are we at,
total, with the budget, then?

[Jake] The new rehab cost
is right around $215,000.

[Tarek] Wow.

And our original bid
was $175,000.

We bought this one
for $615,000.

$615,000 plus $215,00,
plus curing cost,

closing cost, selling cost...

break even's about $910,000.

Last time I looked
at the comps,

they were, like, $950,000.

[Heather] So, we need
to relook at comps.

Okay, Jake, thank you
for the bad news, as always.

-[Jake] All right, bye, guys.
-Bye.

How did it get so expensive?

-This better look nice.
-[Heather] I know.

Whenever we have
these major change orders,

before I freak out,
the very first thing I do

is run the comparable sales.

[Heather] There's not a lot
of inventory right now,

so when a good home
comes on the market,

they are selling
for over asking.

That's the huge difference

between this year
and last year, right?

Last year,
we'd rerun the comps,

and they were lower.

This year,
we're rerunning the comps,

and they're actually higher.

Oh, here's a good
pending for us.

-$959,000,
one week on the market.
-[Heather] Mm-hmm.

But it's almost
400 square foot
larger than ours.

-But let's see the inside.
-Four-bedroom.

-Not updated.
-[Tarek] It's older. Yeah.

I mean, honestly,
to make this house
look like our house,

-it's costing $200,000.
-Mm-hmm.

[Tarek] This is pending
at $960,000 after a week.

-[Heather] It's insane.
-[Tarek] Okay, listen,

if we can sell it
for $1.1 million,

it's okay that we spend
$215,000.

-You know what I mean?
-Mm-hmm.

-Yeah, we'll have to see
what it looks like.
-Oh, yeah, yeah.

I cannot wait to see
how this kitchen turned out,

and then the primary,

-the walk-in closet.
-Yeah, you wanna go now?

Well, let's eat.
I'm gonna change.

Um, I gotta figure out
the baby situation,

-and then we can go.
-Yeah.

-[Heather] You know, we do
have a little human.
-Yeah, I know.

[laughs]

Bye, Tristan.
We're going.

[Tarek] Can you believe
we're standing at
a $1.1 million house?

[Heather] Well, this one
is, uh, not looking so hot.

[Tarek] So, what is
the plan out here?

[Heather] We're doing grass,

and then the white trim,
black roof,

the grayish color house.

I originally wanted
to do, like, a wood
accent wall in the front,

but we're gonna do
blue shutters

to match the blue door,
and then bring in the blue

-inside the house.
-Okay, I like that.

So then,
we're gonna save money

on this exterior wall
right here.

What do you think of this?
Actually, that looks real blue

when you're close, right?

[Heather] Yeah, it does look
more blue up close.

-[Tarek] Right?
-[Heather] Like an ice blue.

[Tarek] Yeah.

I think we sampled
something else.

Like, maybe,
like less blue, gray.

-Okay.
-And maybe just more gray.

[Tarek] Okay,
I think that'll looked nice.

-All right,
let's see this thing.
-[Heather] Please love it,

please love it,
please love it.

[gasps]

[Tarek] All right,
let's see this thing.

[Heather] Please love it,
please love it,

please love it.

Wow.

This feels so much bigger.

Oh!

-Okay.
-[Tarek] I don't know yet.

What do you mean,
you don't know yet?
They're in.

[Tarek] No, I know they're in.
I don't know if I like it yet.

-[Heather] Okay.
-Let me take this in
for a second.

[Heather] I like it.
Blue cabinets.

[Tarek] I do like the blue.

'Cause we're bringing
the blue in

-throughout the house.
-No, no, I like the blue.

Take a look
at the wood floor right here.

Look how nice
it goes together,

-'cause they're both
kind of rich, you know?
-Oh, I love that.

-See that?
-[Heather] Yeah,
this is a little bit darker

-than what we've been doing.
-[Tarek] Yeah.

It feels bigger in here,
having this.

-Like, it feels
like a larger space.
-[Tarek] Yeah.

We're gonna have
our table island here.

-Like, can you imagine--
-[Heather] Bench here.

Like, you're here
at the sink, right?

And, "Oh, like, oh, I need
to go get something."

-Does it feel like
you're walking to your pantry?
-Yeah.

'Cause people
are gonna know

that this is, like,
pantry storage area,

and this is our seating area
for the table.

We just have to make sure
the height is good

-for this bench.
-[Tarek] Sure.

The space is not very large.

We now don't have
a dining area.

And also, the kitchen
is too small for an island.

So, the dining table
that I got,

it's multifunctional.

It's the same height
as the countertop,

so we made the bench
seating high enough,

where you can sit
on the bench,

you can eat your food,

you can be
on your laptop working,

or chopping vegetables,

making food,
using it as an island.

So multifunctional.

Did you bring your tools?

-Yeah, I got 'em.
-Oh, here they are.

Now, do you know
how to use these tools?

When it comes
to putting things together,

he is awful.

I think it's, like,
taking the time

to read the directions.

Like, my brain is going
at a million miles an hour.

-[Heather] Yeah.
-I've just never
really been handy.

Oh, look at that. I got it.

Look at that.
Step one, done.

-Okay, I lied.
-[Heather] Oops.

But that's okay.

You know, I feel like
he's good at--

Finding the box,
buying the box,

just not building
what's in the box.

Super dope.

-Oh, I love-- [gasps]
-Super nice.

Oh, I love this table, honey.

-Good job.
-[Heather] Ay, ay, ay.
Can't lift it.

Table legs, two pieces.

There's only two legs there?

[Heather] Oh, there, I did it.

-See? Oh, nice.
-[Tarek] I figured it out.

Look.

No, I didn't.

[Heather] I just need
to see the height.

Look, genius.

Oh! I see. I mean,
I wasn't thinking about that.

It's a great height.

-What do you think?
-That works.

Okay. I'm so excited it works.

Okay, I wanna see
the primary next.

Now, the question is,
was it worth it?

Because did this work?

Wow, look how much bigger
this bedroom is!

[Heather] Oh,
it was way worth it.

This feels like a primary.

[Tarek] Huge in here.

[Heather] Ooh,
the vanity's in!

Yes!

-[gasps] Oh!
-[Tarek] Oh, that looks clean,
I like that.

-Well, these are
real blue, though.
-[Heather] Stunning!

No, it's pretty.

[gasps] Yes!

-It matches the vanity.
-[Tarek] No, it's nice.

Okay, how did
our closet come out?

Oh, my God, it worked!

-[Heather] Yes.
-This is a real
walk-in closet. Look at this.

-Wow, this is great!
-[Heather] So much better!

-This is great.
-[Heather] Yes! [laughing]
We made the right decision.

-Oh, man.
All right, we did it.
-[Heather] Whoo!

-It's, honestly, home run.
-[Heather] Yes!

Imagine if we had
the toilet here

with this little
dinky closet there.

I know. I told you
it wouldn't work.

[Heather] This is legit.

-So happy.
-[Tarek] I was so nervous

-about this whole thing.
-I was, too. [chuckles]

Outside?

[Tarek] All right,
let's see this thing.

Oh, my gosh!

-The backyard!
-[Heather] Yes!

[Tarek] Wow,
look what they had to do
for all the new plumbing.

Look at that.
[exhales] Wow!

Oh, my gosh, like,
we gutted this yard.

-See how deep they had
to go all the way around?
-[Heather] Jeez!

Are we gonna figure out

what we're doing
with the situation?

Yes, we're gonna
finish this off.

We're gonna talk to Jake.

So, I have an idea.

This is our shade zone,
right here.

Pop in the couch.

Here, we put a big umbrella,
lounge chairs, table,

and then people can do
what they wanna do with it.

I feel like if we add
one of those sunshades,

what if it looks bad?

I don't know, I kind of feel
like it would be cool

because it, like,
completes the space.

-Like, look how
I'm hot right now.
-Right.

Like, I'm starting to sweat.

He said he had it
at his house.

Tell him to send a picture.

If it looks weird,
we'll do your umbrella thing.

-Okay.
-Deal?

Deal.

-[chuckles softly]
-[Tarek scoffs]

Oh, burn.

Cute.

-Honey, I'm home.
-Hi, babe.

[Tarek] You look cute today.
I love the outfit.

You know, this house
looks cute, too.

[Heather] It's so cute, babe.

Wait, wait, wait.
I want you to take it all in.

Blue shutters?

[Tarek] It's gorgeous.

[Heather] House color?

'Cause, you know,
we changed that.

-[Tarek] I love it.
-[Heather] I love it, too.

-Okay, do you wanna see
the transformation?
-[Tarek] I do.

Look at the pool.

Wow, gorgeous.

[Heather] It's such
a nice day, too.

-I just wanna jump in.
-[Tarek] Yeah.

Oh, man, this house
came out good!

[Heather] Isn't it cute?

Oh, this feels like a kitchen.

-This is rad.
-And look how--
Look at the table.

[Tarek] I love it.

Is this what we were
trying to build?

[Heather] That's what
you were trying to build,

and you were
completely no success.

So, question
about the appliances.

So, I'm loving the white.

What do you think about them?

'Cause we could change them.

-[Tarek] I kinda love
the white, actually.
-[Heather] Me, too.

-I really like this.
-[Heather] Doesn't go well

with the backsplash?

Oh, this house
is so cute, honey.

-This was, like, definitely
edgy for us, doing the blue.
-[Tarek] Yeah.

But I like the colors.

-Does the kitchen
feel small to you?
-No.

-It doesn't?
-No. The house is rad.

Like... [applauds]

this house came out
so much nicer than I thought.

And then adding this
extra storage over here?

Oh, my God,
imagine if we didn't do this.

-No.
-Imagine this would
be the kitchen.

That would have felt small.

All right,
so love that fireplace.

[Heather] Do you like
the shiplap?

[Tarek] I love it.
I love the... the touch
with the light on top.

[Heather] I feel like
the fireplace is simple,

it goes with the vibe
of the blue.

It doesn't take over too much.

Like, it just gives it
a little bit extra.

I'm adding the wood touch
with the mantle.

Yeah, this was
a great idea for the base,
just using the tiles.

-[Heather] Mm-hmm.
-[Tarek] This came out great.

It really did. I mean,
just standing here,
looking around this house,

-like, look how big
that kitchen is.
-[Heather] I know.

All right,
I gotta see this primary.

Oh, my gosh,
honey, it's so pretty.

Dang, look at that.

[Tarek] I gotta see
this primary.

Oh, my gosh,
honey, it's so pretty.

Dang, look at that.

I love the blue and the white.
It matches the kitchen.

I know.

-Oh, these are neat.
-[Heather] Aren't they?

And how great is this?

And inexpensive to do.

-[Tarek] Awesome.
-[Heather] And it looks like
it's expensive,

-like, look at the design.
-[Tarek] Okay.

[Heather] So, this room,
remember how small
it was before?

Like, we were wondering
what we're gonna do

and how we're gonna
add our primary.

Look at this space.

[Tarek] Well, that's what
I was about to say.

This feels like
a huge bedroom.

Don't forget, this room
used to come out to here,

so this was the bedroom.

-[Heather] It was tiny.
-[Tarek] Yeah.

There's walking space here,
walking space on that side.

Okay, I love this shower.

[Tarek] Oh, my-- Okay.

[Heather] I love
the shower pan.

[Tarek] This looks gorgeous.

-It feels like
a builder model home.
-[Heather] Oh, good.

You wanted to have a little
dinky, rinky, dinky closet.

And now you have privacy.

You can close
the door off here.

Someone could be
changing in there.

-[Tarek] I love it.
-And still using the bathroom.

You know, this... this,
like, completes the room.

[Tarek] Man, it's cute.
This is a cute house.

It has, like,
that masculine feel,

but then we have
the feminine touches

-with all the lighting.
-[Tarek] Yep.

We reconfigured
this entire side of the house.

From the front to the back,
this is all different.

I wanna show you
the bathroom
and the other bedroom.

[Tarek] Oh, I love the blue
racing stripe.

So, we've never done
this before.

I like that.

[Heather] It was no cost,

'cause we're gonna
paint anyways.

-Like the blue?
-Everything.

Like, all the colors, really,

they go together,
they're cohesive.

Look at this.

[Tarek] Oh, the wood sticks,

that looks awesome.

[Heather] The wood slats,
lovey.

[Tarek] Yeah, I was close.

[Heather] How good is this?

So, we've never done it
like this before,

'cause every time
we've done this
has been in wood.

So this--
Is this a paint grade?

It's paint grade.

Okay, so we didn't
paint real wood.

-We didn't paint real wood.
-Okay, good.

-This looks dope. I love this.
-[Heather laughs]

[Tarek] And this is a neat
light, too. Look at that.

[Heather] I love
how it looks like water.

-[Tarek] Yeah.
-[Heather] The nautical theme.

I like how we did
the wood slats

just on the side
and not in the middle.

And I just feel like
every house, we're doing
things different.

-Like, it's not all
cookie cutter or the same.
-[Tarek] Yeah.

No, and you know
what the neat thing is?

Like, we have all these
blue walls, blue cabinets,

and you look out
all the windows
and the sliders,

you see blue from the pool.

-[Heather] Speaking of--
-[Tarek] Oh, backyard.

Let's go look.

[Heather] Okay,
how do you feel like
the vibe is out here?

-[Tarek] I love the tile.
-[Heather] I love the tile.

-Oh, oh, what is this?
-So--

Do we have shade?

[Heather] It's your sunshade.

[Tarek] Wait, hold on.

'Cause I don't feel
like I'm getting sunburned.

And now I do.

-You see that?
-[Heather] But if we had
an umbrella--

[Tarek] Hold on,
one more time.

You said
this wasn't gonna work.

-Huh. I--
-So tell me, did it work?

I didn't say
it was gonna work.

I just said
it might look cheap.

Does it look cheap,
or does it look nice?

-It works, yes.
-[siren wailing
in the distance]

-Oh, it works now.
-[Heather laughs]

Lookit, the fire department's
coming for you.

-They know you're lying.
-It works, it works, it works.

I might now agree with you
on removing all this concrete,

'cause this looks like
a really nice yard.

[Heather] The grass
looks so nice,

-and, you know, sometimes
grass around the pool...
-I like that.

...I don't love,

but because this part
is so thick,

like, you can sit here,

you can put
your feet in the pool.

[Tarek] Yeah,
this looks great.

We have this area
for the lounge chairs.

This is all concrete
back here,

rocks, gravel.

-It was so ugly.
-All of this, yeah,

it was just,
like, wasted space.

Now, it's a yard,
you can actually
play back here.

[Heather] It's so nice.

So, how much did we spend
back here in the end?

'Cause the landscaping
was what, $13,000?

[Heather] $13,000.

The pool work and concrete
work were $24,000.

So, we spent $37,000
back here.

[Heather] It's a lot of money
in the backyard.

I know we spent
a lot of money,
but it's actually a deal.

Like, we had to dump
all that concrete.

We had to redo
all the plumbing.

We had to redo the plaster,
redo the coping,

redo the tile,

build the gate, new equipment,
new irrigation.

-Put in sod, planters.
-[Heather] Mm-hmm.

[Tarek] I'm glad
we did everything.

[Heather] Okay,
I'm gonna pull up the comps.

[Tarek] Yeah,
you got the email?

[Heather] Mm-hmm.

[Tarek] Okay. Whew!

So, we're a three-bedroom,
two-bath.

-How many square feet?
-[Heather] Yeah. 1,266.

So, this is the comp,
but now that I look at it,

this one's almost
1,800 square feet.

-[Tarek] Okay.
-[Heather] It's not bad,
but it's dated.

I'd consider
that a comp, right?

So, you get
a bigger house, older,

-or a newer house, smaller.
-[Heather] Yeah.

-[Tarek] Oh, it's under
contract, it's pending.
-Yeah, exactly.

-It says, "Price--"
-[Heather] Pending
at $1.1 million.

"Price increase."

So I'll bet you,
they went over asking.

[Heather] That's our
highest comp.

But I mean,
the comps similar to our size,

not fixed up,
are selling in the mid-9s.

I mean, this house
is really fixed up, so...

I think $1.1 million
or a little above
$1.1 million.

-But...
-You know, I mean,

I've been liking the strategy
of pricing competitive,

getting multiple offers,

-and going above asking.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah,

I think if we go too high,
it'll scare people away.

-Let's go over the numbers.
-[Tarek] Okay.

So, we bought the house
for $615,000.

Our rehab cost
was $216,000.

-But that backyard?
-[Heather] The backyard.

But I think
it was well worth it,

and it's gonna bring us
a higher profit.

[Tarek] Yeah. And plus,
we opened up the floor plan,

-we expanded the primary.
-[Heather] Mm-hmm.

-Okay, so--
-What was our holding cost?

Holding cost,

-we're right around $43,000.
-Okay.

Selling cost,
if we sell at $1.1 million,

are about $44,000,

so our break even
would be $918,000.

So, if we do sell
at $1.1 million...

we're looking
about $182,000.

-Yeah.
-That's good.

And I, honestly, I think
we can go over asking.

If we go up to, like,
a $1,150,000,

that's over $200,000.

Isn't that wild?
If we sell at $1.1 million,

we're gonna be
the highest sold house
per foot in this area.

Yeah.

All right, $1.1 million?

Crazy that we're listing this
at $1.1 million

-in Garden Grove.
-Let's go!

[Heather] Let's go.

Oh, the shutters are adorable.

Ooh!

[woman] Aw! Look at this.

Oh, my gosh, look
at the cabinet space.

Oh. I love the color
of the kitchen.

[man] Yeah, super nice.

[woman 2] You know
what it's missing, though,

-is an island.
-Yeah.

There's not enough
counter space for me

-to not have an island...
-Yep. Yeah.

[woman 2] ...and make
this kitchen work.

[man 2] I like
how they brought the...

I like how they brought
the colors in

-from the kitchen
into the bedroom.
-[woman 3] Yeah.

Look at the closet
space, though.

[man 3] Oh,
there's your closet.

[woman 4] This would
be my room.

-No, this would be my room.
-No, it would be my room.

-Yeah, I need that closet.
-[laughs]

Oh, wow, look at this.

[gasps]

I like that
there's a double sink.

[man] Think you can fit
a shower curtain here?

Oh!

-That would be tight.
-[man] Little tight.

[woman 2] A little too small
for me,

-but as a guest bathroom?
-[man] Yeah.

-It's fine.
-[man] Absolutely.

[woman 5] The only thing
that I don't like
is the wall.

I think I would wanna
take it down completely.

-You think so? Yeah.
-Yeah, and just do
a new fence.

-[man 4] Yeah.
-[woman 5] Because it kind
of messes with the view.

This backyard, it's just--
It feels like it's built

-for a barbecue.
-It is.

[woman 5]
This is 4th of July.

Everyone's here,
you invite your neighbors
and your friends.

The kids are playing
and there's sparklers,
getting in the pool.

-[man 4] Yeah.
-[woman 5] This is very much
a family home.

[man 4] I like it.

[Tarek] Even though
we were so nervous

about that small kitchen
being an issue,

we knocked it out of the park

and sold this Garden Grove
flip over asking,

at $1,130,000,

leaving us a nice profit
of $212,000.
