What differentiates Rustic Rehab from other flipping shows is that the buyers are looking for second homes or vacation rentals.[2]

After the town was devastated by the Camp Fire in 2018, the series was pulled from the HGTV schedule.[3] However, the Riveras have been actively involved in rebuilding the town, investing in the building of new fireproof housing.[4]
