Ep 3. A Flippin' Tough Renovation

In this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation season 6, titled "A Flippin' Tough Renovation," we follow a family as they search for the perfect beachfront property to renovate and flip for profit. The family, consisting of a married couple and their two teenage daughters, has previous experience in flipping homes but have never taken on a beachfront property before.

The episode kicks off with the family meeting their real estate agent and touring several potential properties in the Palm Coast area of Florida. They are looking for a home within their budget of $350,000 that is in need of some TLC but has great potential for a profitable flip. After viewing several properties that don't quite meet their criteria, they finally come across a three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow that is in a prime location just a few steps away from the beach.

Despite the home's great location, the family quickly realizes that this is going to be a difficult renovation project. The home is outdated and in need of a complete overhaul. The layout is awkward and the kitchen is small, which is a major red flag for the family since the kitchen is the heart of any home. In addition, the family discovers that the roof needs to be replaced, which will add a considerable amount to their renovation budget.

Despite these challenges, the family decides to take on the project and purchases the home for $302,000. They begin the renovation process by gutting the entire home and starting from scratch. The family's goal is to create an open-concept floor plan that is perfect for entertaining and family time. They also plan to expand the kitchen by removing a wall and installing a large island.

As they begin the renovation process, the family faces several setbacks. They discover that the plumbing and electrical systems are outdated, which will require additional work and expenses. In addition, the family finds that the walls are not level, which is causing issues with the installation of new floors and cabinets.

Despite these setbacks, the family remains determined to complete the renovation and turn a profit. They work tirelessly on the project, making decisions on everything from paint colors to finishes. As the renovation progresses, the family begins to see their vision come to life. The new open-concept floor plan is perfect for family time and entertaining, and the expanded kitchen is a dream come true.

Finally, after months of hard work and dedication, the family completes the renovation and puts the home on the market for $535,000. While they are initially nervous about the home's marketability, it turns out to be a huge success. The family receives multiple offers and ultimately sells the home for $540,000.

In the end, the family is thrilled with the outcome of their project. The renovation was difficult and required a lot of hard work and dedication, but it was all worth it in the end. The family turned a profit on the flip and gained valuable experience in renovating beachfront properties. Overall, "A Flippin' Tough Renovation" is an inspiring episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation that showcases the challenges and rewards of flipping a beachfront property.
