Upon arrival, they find a run-down, cluttered house with a backyard piled high with junk, including cars, tires, and furniture.
Despite the daunting task ahead, Tarek and Christina see the potential in the property and decide to take on the challenge. They quickly get to work, combing through the mess and deciding what to keep, what to donate, and what to haul away. Their plan is to create a modern, open-concept home with plenty of curb appeal to attract potential buyers.
As they begin demolition, the couple discovers issues with the home's foundation, adding unexpected expenses to their budget. However, they remain determined to make a profit on the property and push forward. Christina focuses on design, selecting modern finishes and creating a cohesive color scheme throughout the home.

However, as they near completion, Tarek and Christina face yet another challenge in the form of a surprise inspection. The inspection reveals issues with the home's electrical system, which they must address before placing the home on the market.
Despite the setbacks, Tarek and Christina persevere, working around the clock to make the home move-in ready for potential buyers. They stage the house with cozy, on-trend furnishings and showcase the backyard as an oasis for relaxation and entertainment.
In the end, the couple must determine whether their hard work will pay off in the form of a profitable flip or a disappointing flop. As potential buyers flood the open house, the tension rises and the couple waits anxiously for an offer.
Overall, Flip or Flop season 7 episode 7 is filled with challenges, unexpected expenses, and the determination to turn a neglected property into a stunning and functional home.
