Season 5 is the “last” one but according to them it’s a combo of focusing on the family and their other business ventures. They will still be flipping homes.

Altair 2,000 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I don’t trust them. They live in Waco. Also aren’t they part of a homophobic church or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pastor is against gay marriage but they have made multiple statements stating that his opinion doesn’t reflect them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Christina from the original, but her designs are always the exact same, and Tarek needs to be cancelled all together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to do with home values or changing the feel of the neighborhood or just residential complaints or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in regards to gentrification, the original residents always complain about a neighborhood being improved because it forces out the old and in with the new, raising property values, etc. I know there were stories posted online how they had dealt with issues where the buyers in the episodes were getting sued because they were having the home flipped and using it as a marketing technique to post the home on AirBNB, which is forbidden in the contract of the show.
