Plot Synopsis

FLIPPING DOWN SOUTH is a one-hour docuseries that follows three young entrepreneurs -- Paul Mielke, Cody J. Cummings and Matt Morgan -- 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. In the season opener, "Flipping the Canoe," 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 crate 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. With Matt and the sales team looking for a quick deal to close, the crew races against a stream of setbacks -- failed inspections, a leaking roof, and tiny closets -- that seem to make potential buyers bail on Paul's dreamboat of a build.
