I have met these guys at the ctreia meetings and I have to say that are very friendly, I also was on a Bust tour with Than Merrils boot camp and got to tour their Job site. The quality of the work was high the job site was clean and professional. I have been in real estate for 20 years and I have to say I was impressed.

Chris I havent looked at the site and I'm already chuckling. You are sort of like me - We just have to look at the other side of the coin.

This is the news report on the Atlanta 'Flip This House' team. Their house sales turned out to be phony and he's in trouble for stealing from investors. A&E no longer airs those episodes.

The Montelongo team from Texas was apparently doing the same thing, now he's selling seminars and "get rich quick" books. A&E should really pull this show off the air, it's a disgrace. Don't waste your money on any of these scammers.

It amazes me that people believe everything they see or read and pay a lot of money for Fairy Tales.

Hey its Matt (from the article) just wanted to respond to some of the comments. Our team is very different from those teams we don't try to deceive the public in any way. The only thing that is sometimes a little off is the construction budget and we addressed that in this article. It troubles me that the other casts have done the things thay have done but please dont group my team in with them. Furthermore I agree with you that the other teams actions are awful.
I guess I'm just saying give us a chance.

I didn't mean to say anything bad about you Matt, not all the teams are dishonest and I wish you success. I watch this show occasionally and the Armando guy really pisses me off. He's a total arrogant buffoon who obviously doesn't know what he's doing. The TV producers just keep propping him up even though he's failing. He doesn't even own that Mercedes and the stupid Hummer he drives, it's all rented for him.
