“Thus far, the producers of Flip This House have been unwilling to show viewers less than successful results. As the market declines, property flippers across the country are suddenly finding that they’ve overbuilt, overpaid, or overestimated demand in their areas. Now is a perfect opportunity for A&E to show the bad, as well as the good.”

The TV stations are interested in ratings, not the truth… Too much TV is bad for you, this includes the ‘news’.

My opinion is that he is a crook, scammer, and fraud. Watch the shows, and you will see it. I would NEVER buy a house he rehabbed. Nobody should ever buy a house rehabbed by them without a valid inspection first. Shame on A&E for giving this guy air time. It’s sad that he treats contractors so badly. Your company is only as good as they way you treat people. I think the fact that his brother doesn’t do business with him anymore speaks VOLUMES!!! Money is Armando’s first love……Veronica better watch out!

In one episode I loved watching him fall in the pool and started to vomit, the guy seems to have an attitude and I guess he needs to get this finances together as well!

Most of the people who consider themselves as Guru are just liars who know nothing about the real stuff. But yeah they have one ability and that is to speak and convince people. He might be one of those

I think 90% of all these real estate guru’s don’t know what they are talking about. they just want to sell you something.

It’s so frustrating when someone is celebrated as a guru when some simple factchecking will show that they are indeed not — and beyond that, that they are in trouble with the law. The fact that anyone can make a website or run a commercial really does make it hard to decipher who is legitimate and who isn’t. I just hope consumers are smart enough to figure it out.

I must really be out of the loop. This is the first I have ever heard of this. I always assumed he was a little greasy just watching the show. The way he treated his intern and sub-contractors left me wondering what type of person he was. I guess even TV can’t make this guy look good.

I know that television is suppose to be for entertainment purposes but when I see how tv fame can build credibility for a crook it makes me think that any claims made on the air ways must be verified as true. Just a thought.

His adds have started running here in New Jersey as well. They are kind of funny as even tear down homes here are 300K or more.

These radiomercials have been showing up in the Houston market as of late.

Granted, I am not one of those greedy morons that buys these con artists junk for $1000 in the hopes of finding those “Huge profits” being claimed, but it isn’t hard to see through this stuff. If I was a millionaire, I’m living on an island away from everyone else.

I have no pity for any greedy souls who took the bait for his or any others similar junk.
