In this thrilling episode of HGTV, the team ventures to the coveted Kanohi area on the Windward side of the island, known for its lush greenery and serene pace of life. They dive headfirst into a property listed at $875,000, seeking houses in dire need of renovation. With termite damage, leaky roofs, and unrecorded bedrooms, the challenges are as steep as the Coola mountain range that separates the island's two sides.
Meeting with contractors Chong and Travis, the team embarks on a rapid demolition spree, tearing down walls infested by termites and reshaping the kitchen layout for a seamless flow. As the clock ticks, they race against time to tent the house for termites and add the final touches before opening it to the public. The pressure mounts as they aim to turn a profit of $125,000 within a tight 12-week timeline.
With meticulous attention to detail, the team transforms the property into a stunning masterpiece, maximizing space and value at every turn. From a massive primary suite to carefully curated design elements, every aspect is fine-tuned to appeal to potential buyers. As the property hits the market, the response is overwhelming, with over 120 groups touring the house and multiple offers pouring in. In a twist of fate, the house is sold to the neighbor's best friend for $1.48 million, securing a staggering profit of $295,000.
