All about Texas Flip N Move
Texas Flip N Move started in November 2014 and ended in November 2019. The program, as the name suggests, involved professional home renovators who bought old properties and then flipped them before selling them to buyers. The renovators were only able to see the exterior of the house at the initial auction, and the house was then moved from its original position to the renovation site. The teams then creatively renovated the apartments and sold them at auction.
Each episode featured two groups buying a property to fix up and competing against other teams to make more money than the others. The series also stars Bleu Pride, Donna Snow King and Toni Snow Barksdale, Myers Jackson, Casey Hester and Catrina Kidd, Gary’s Girls, Paige and Raf., Gary and Jerry, Cody Biffel, Cody and Suzi Slay, HD “Daddy” Snow and Steven Goode.
