Inland Empire Cosmetic Nightmare

Ohne es zuvor besichtigt zu haben, erwerben Tarek und Christina ein großes Haus in Ontario, Kalifornien. Es scheint, als gäbe es nur kosmetische Mängel zu beheben. Doch dann entdeckt das Ehepaar, dass sich Termiten in den Holzvertäfelungen eingenistet haben. Das Ausmaß des Schadens könnte immens sein.

Tarek and Christina spot a large house in Ontario CA, going to auction for an opening bid 150K. But it's too far away to snoop and the auction starts in less than an hour. Based on comps, which are $240K-$260K, they take a leap of faith and head to the auction where they win the house for $180K. It's always nerve wracking to buy a house sight-unseen, but while walking through the house with their contractor, Dan Messina, it seems to be mostly cosmetic and can be done for 30K in 30 days. But after the work begins they find rotted wood, which leads to extensive termite damage. Will these termites destroy their budget to update the house? Will they be able to make the upgrades that will attract buyers? Or will they be forced to market this Inland Empire Cosmetic Nightmare as is.

Tarek a trouvé à Ontario une maison de 165 mètres carrés, disposant de 4 chambres, dont 2 suites parentales, et 3 salles de bain. Achetée 180 000 dollars, Daniel Messina vient évaluer le coût des rénovations. Les sols, les salles de bain doivent être refaits entièrement. Daniel remarque que les termites ont endommagé la maison et cela va alourdir considérablement le budget.
