Insults are easy to give by armchair critics and a complete waste of time. I'd agree that Armando is often too harsh. But- people do what works for them, and I don't have to be around him. I'm a painter, and I wouldn't work for him. If this is really who Armando is, give Veronica lots of credit for taking him on! I always hope some of it is simply the producers enhancing the stress for dramatic effect. My husband and I do watch the show when we can, but as with ANY show- we would do things differently if it were us. But it's not us, is it? If I don't find it interesting, or someone's being offensive, I have the free-will to turn off the tv & get on with my own life, and I often do! One thing that does rub me the wrong way is the cameras in Armando & Veronica's bed/beth/closet, because the more the camera shows up there, the less real it becomes. I mean, most people don't live with a cameraman in their closet, right? A bit too staged. On vacation? Leave the camera-guy at home. Don't sacrifice your privacy for our sake, we don't WANT full access to your lives, really! Melina- don't bother responding to insults. The people who feel free to insult others (and this refers to anyone) have issues of their own to deal with. If someone has useful ideas that bring something better to you, even if it's constructive criticism- then great. But for those who insult you- they're not worth the effort of a reply. Also, when people swear, it shows they don't have a cache of more intelligent words to use. To be taken seriously, use proper grammar, please. (And in the same manner, once any of your team insults someone-, on tv or otherwise, you lose your credibility too.) So step back, take a deep breath, and rise above it all. Congratulations on your successes, the ones the viewers see, and the ones they don't! Alright- I’ve skipped over most of these comments because most have nothing constructive to say. Insults are easy to give by armchair critics and a complete waste of time.

It's a wonderful Texas city. Although I have never lived there, I know it's predominately Hispanic. I am also part Hispanic on my mother's side. You guys are all so attractive and young. You have a responsibility to be a GOOD example to Hispanic children (and to represent Ameriacn Hispanics to the rest of the country). Armondo,you MUST STOP acting as an immature, rotten, spoiled brat - running off contractors when you "lose it", cursing, throwing and breaking things and taking advantage of poor workers that need any job to feed their families. I realize this is a tv show but it's watched by people from all over the country. Your "bad boy" behavior is overly-obnoxious and totally unnecessary. Your brother doesn't seem anything like you - I have seen him treat people with respect no matter who they were. He is quiet but seems to get things done effectively. You blow things out of proportion for NO reason. Many of us would like to see you portray yourself as an intelligent, respectful, controlled man who is a WINNER - someone to be looked up to. If you're not that man - get off the air and keep doing what you're doing. You'll still make money but won't be an embarrassment to Hispanics and Texans. By changing your bad boy behavior, you'll show ALL Americans that we, Hispanics, are just are normal Americans - NOT different. When your son grows up and watches your episodes he'll be proud of you and HOW you accomplished a successful life. I'm assuming you want your son to grow up to be respectful, responsible and be successful himself. I was very proud to see a Hispanic on a tv show because there are so few these days but the more I watch your show, the less I think of you. You have a beautiful wife and son - be a good example for your family. CALM DOWN. God has blessed all of you - you don't have to be a "hard-ass" to be successful. Good luck to all of you.

I am a general contractor from Houston and I run a sucessful remodeling company. I deal with one hundred to two hundred thousand dollar projects and if I was flipping houses which I have done before I would not use the same trades on my custom jobs as I would on a quick flip. May I add you have custom carpenters and you have track home carpenters your carpenters are track home carpenters and when it all comes down to it flipping houses is about money. So, we can all complain and holler but, the Montelongo's are MILLIONERS and we're NOT!!!

I enjoy the Montelongo's show. I've had 4 different people from this place call me in the past month nad seem shocked when I tell them I'm talked with someone else. I pulled the company, "Premier Mentoring, Inc." up on the better busines bureau website and found an "UNSATISFACTORY" rating. A total of 76 complaints in the past 36 months and 44 of them were closed within the past year. Take a good hard look at the Better Business Bureau information before you make any deals with anyone. It might just save you a whole lot of money. It sure did me. I’d like to hear from someone that’s been talking with the “Armando’s Flip and Grow Rich Program”
