Texas Flip N Move is a show featured on DIY Network.[1] [2]
The show features professional home renovators who purchase older houses to flip for profit.
Unlike many renovation shows, the renovators only buy and sell houses (not the underlying land). At the initial auction, the renovators can only view the home from the outside and must also factor in costs of moving the house from the original lot to the renovation site. At the renovation site, the teams renovate the houses and sell them at auction. A typical episode consists of two of the teams each buying a house to renovate, with friendly competition as they each try to make more profit than the other team. The houses are usually sold with no land and the sale price normally includes the price of transportation to the buyer's property. Some episodes feature the teams moving houses to empty developments where they've purchased lots to set the houses on before renovation, occasionally putting more than one structure on each lot. In these cases, the land is sold along with the house(s) at the end of the process and the cost of the lot is added to the final tally of costs when calculating the profit. Unlike in similar shows, all of the participants know each other well and appear to all get along, so the episodes mostly depict friendly competition, albeit with some good natured ribbing. Some teams sometimes even help out other teams when asked.
From Season 1 to Season 3, Casey, who is Cody's cousin moves houses for the Young Guns. Beginning in Season 3 he takes a more active role and moves and flips houses with the Young Guns. From season 4 onward, Casey partners with Catrina who was previously featured as a contractor for the Snow sisters and they continue on as business partners. Catrina's husband makes occasional appearances to help them out with projects.
Gary Snow is the brother of Donna and Toni; his four daughters (Donna and Toni's nieces) were featured in a Season 3 episode where they and the Snow Sisters each renovated a shipping container.
Daddy Snow is the father of Donna, Gary, and Toni, and the grandfather of Gary's four daughters. In his 80s, he is still active in the house-moving business. He inherited a company created by his father C.A. Snow.
