Robyn and Anthony are newly married, first-time homebuyers that are moving out of their apartment and the pressure is on to find a home. They're interested in a move-in ready income property or a low-priced home that needs some work. Most homes in their chosen area are Craftsman houses, some being 100 years old. In order to make a smart purchase, they need Mike to go through these classics thoroughly.

Brenda and Peter have two young daughters and love their Minneapolis neighborhood, but they've outgrown their home, and they need Mikes expertise as they view the new houses their considering, hoping to pick the best home for their family.

Nicole and Tariq are a fun-loving Florida couple that is ready to buy their first home, preferably with enough room for a future family. They've looked at homes and realize they don't know how to spot the kind of house problems a contractor would see. Luckily, Mike steps in to assist, viewing the houses chosen by the couple. As the home tours go on, Nicole and Tariq learn how to determine what's good, fixable and unacceptable.
