The term “Zombie House” gets thrown around a lot in the renovation TV sphere, but sometimes, a property truly earns the title. On this Saturday’s “Zombie House Flipping,” Dolmar and his Tampa-based crew appear to have unearthed a genuine contender on Cool Road in Holiday, Florida. He apparently snagged the place for a steal, which usually means one thing in this business: the “steal” comes with a nightmarish amount of work attached.
Reports suggest this isn’t just neglected; it’s a long-abandoned hoarder house, the kind where you need protective gear just to walk through the door. Forget curb appeal; they’ll be lucky if they can find the curb. Dolmar’s challenge, and the source of whatever entertainment value exists here, is transforming this disaster zone into something resembling a habitable, sellable home without completely blowing the budget.
Of course, this being “Zombie House Flipping,” expect the unexpected. Hidden costs lurk behind every wall (assuming the walls are still standing), and unforeseen disasters are practically written into the script. The team will be racing the clock, grappling with structural issues, mountains of junk, and likely some questionable odors, all in the name of turning a profit in the volatile Florida housing market. Can Dolmar work his magic, or will this Cool Road property prove too ghoulish even for his experienced team? It’s a gamble, and watching whether it pays off, or spectacularly backfires, is the main event.
