I love this show but there was one realtor that I never was crazy about and now I guess I know why: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18985912/?GT1=10056

Did the Montelongo brothers split up? I noticed last night that Armando was talking in the past tense about his brother...

there was a split when Armando wanted to do a flip that was something his brother said he could not live in and he would not be a part of it, can't remember when but I did see the show and I also wondered how he could put his name on it.

Gallaleo, the episode which aired this past Saturday night was about the Cat House which caused the split between the brothers. The house was in the worst condition ever, and three construction crews said they wouldn't clean it up. Armando had to call in a haz-mat service company for the clean-up because the house was toxic and no one would go inside.

Does anyone know where to find before and after pics or video of that Cat House episode? I have looked everywhere. I missed the ending of the show the other night and really wondered how that house turned out in the end. I found lots of negative messages and some articles about Armando. I saw video of the first part of the episode. I see they don't have it scheduled to rerun soon. It's officially called something like Little House of Horrors and is episode 30, iirc. anyway, I don't want anyone to do any digging, I spent a long time doing that. But, if anyone knows where to see an after picture, I would be very thankful if you pointed the way.

Happymom, the house actually turned out quite nice (obviously, since it was pretty much a brand new house except for the studs and the foundation). However, it was not the most profitable flip. Armando paid $55,000.00 for the house, sold it for $160,000,00 but only made a $20,000.00 profit. I don't know how much of the episode you watched, but after shelling out $13,000.00 for a haz-mat crew, they had to replace the sheetrock to get the smell out, and they had massive underground plumbing problems. However, at the time of original airing of this episode, the sale had fallen through and the Cat House was still for sale.

Does anyone know if new shows of this are coming anytime soon? I really was liking the New Hampshire crew, Than and the boys.

Thanks Lexie! I did see the plumbing part with the very expensive digging, something like $24,000! I think that is the last part I saw. Maybe they will rerun it again someday. I'd really like to see the end!

This trend is too cool ~ recent shows of ever greedy 'flippers' seeking insane profits are now a lesson in: the housing market is dead and you did it... Saw a couple on TV, owned a house 5 months bought $120,000. Realtor said a little landscaping and minor popcorn ceiling removal made it magically worth $135,000... Okaaay, surrounded by similar homes top price $132,000, some in better shape, where did spending a whopping $7000 merit $15,000 profit?!? In their dreams... Now we know why taxes go up and appraised value rarely meets sale prices. The old rule of rent vs own was this: if you can't stay 5 years to get equity keep renting! Used to be penalties selling house within 2 years, when that ended it was a flipper dream for quick inflated profits. If I sold my house now, does a new $60 porch lamp really add $500 to the value?
