A team of Alabama realtors and entrepreneurs will be in the spotlight this weekend as “Flipping Down South” premieres on A&E. Birmingham's Apollo Property Group is featured in the reality series, which debuts on March 12 at 11 a.m. CT.
and Matt Morgan – three young entrepreneurs who are heading up Birmingham, Alabama’s fastest growing flipping business. They see dollar signs where others see dumps, focusing on houses most people wouldn’t touch. Buying many of their flips for under $10,000, they turn eyesores into dream homes. But their mission is about more than making money -- all three investors come from working class roots, and they aim to keep their flips affordable, while still building a booming business when they are.
In a trailer for the series, Cummings -- who calls himself “the money guy” -- describes Birmingham as “a flipper’s dream,” with “tons of inexpensive homes available.” Cummings also says “our goal was to revitalize neglected neighborhoods through beautiful, low-cost housing. We figured out how to make a profit, but still keep our houses affordable for everyday folks.”
Prices of homes featured in the trailer range from $95,000 to $247,000. If you look closely, you might see residences that have been fixed and flipped in Birmingham’s East Lake neighborhood. According to a publicist for the show, the team works in different areas of Birmingham, but primarily in East Lake.
From what we hear, five hourlong episodes were filmed for the show. Here’s the synopsis of the first episode, called“Birmingham Alabama’s top flippers, Cody and Paul, take on a bungalow called the Canoe House, filled with boats, rotting rafters, and a rising tide of budget overruns. Paul has a vision to create a hip, urban escape. But Cody struggles to keep Paul’s expensive tastes and never-ending plans on-budget and on-time for an open house.
