Seattle’s real estate scene is about to get a serious makeover—or at least one very ambitious flipper hopes so. In this Saturday’s new episode of Million Dollar Zombie Flips, airing at 11 AM ET on A&E, Leka sets her sights on turning a crumbling “zombie house” into a high-end dream property. But even in a hot market, not every fixer-upper is a winner.
This week’s target, dubbed “The Fortress,” presents a whole list of challenges. Its curb appeal is best described as “deterrent-level,” and the layout is, shall we say, quirky. Seasoned flipper James Dainard brings his usual dose of hard-won skepticism to the table. The project needs serious cash—and serious vision—to avoid becoming a million-dollar money pit.
The episode tracks Leka’s efforts to secure funding and Dainard’s efforts to see the hidden potential, even when everything from the sagging roof to the bizarre room divisions shouts “run.” The tension between her unbridled optimism and his pragmatic approach is on full display—exactly the kind of dynamic that keeps Million Dollar Zombie Flips watchable.
Flipping houses is always a gamble, and in a market like Seattle, the stakes are even higher. Will Leka’s gamble pay off, or will The Fortress prove to be too much of a challenge?
Million Dollar Zombie Flips airs Saturday, May 31st at 11:00 AM ET on A&E.
