Tarek El Moussa, the ubiquitous face of HGTV house-flipping, returns with a new lesson plan on Flipping 101 this Thursday at 9 PM ET. In To ADU or Not to ADU (Season 4, Episode 10), El Moussa takes a former employee under his wing, aiming to school the contractor on the fine art of flipping without breaking the bank—or overspending on unnecessary flourishes.
The contractor, a veteran of El Moussa’s crew, admits to a history of over-the-top design choices, specifically in multi-million dollar homes, that often ate into potential profits. Cue the mentor moment: El Moussa, armed with the wisdom gleaned from over 300 flips, steps in to preach the gospel of cost-conscious design—and how to maximize profit margins without sacrificing curb appeal. This week’s episode puts a practical spin on the usual reno-driven formula, offering would-be flippers a foundation to build a successful business and avoid financial face-plants.
Flipping 101 keeps its target audience tight: those who dream of real estate riches and aren’t afraid of a little demo dust. This installment offers useful info while keeping the entertainment factor high—much like El Moussa himself.
