The Big Flip

Renovator's and friends Randy Mackay and John Stassen start the year long challenge of finding, fixing and flipping as many houses as they can. And project one proves to be more than they bargained for - once gutted the boys learn the house is structurally dangerous and at risk of falling down. Surprise, jacking up and rebuilding the beams was not in the budget.

With the renovation well underway and the house now structurally sound, renovators Randy and John are convinced the worst is over. Little do they know their problems are just starting -the floors aren't level and costs are spiraling out of control. And to make matters worse, the stress is taking a major toll on their friendship. Can these friends make a go of a business relationship?

Randy Mackay and John Stassen are on the final stretch of their first renovation but a major problem with the kitchen installation has caused headaches and delays. Finally, the house is finished and fluffed and it's time to put it up for sale. But with only two offers on the table will they make enough to cover the costs, and make a profit?

Renovators Randy Mackay and John Stassen have bought a little semi-detached as house #2. Randy's convinced this one will be quick and easy, unlike the last project. However, John sees lots of problems, and worries that rather than learning from their mistakes they've now made an even bigger one. So far, John's on the money.

Renovators Randy Mackay and John Stassen are in the thick of it with property number two. The job is taking too long, it's over budget, the boys are barely speaking to each other and to top it off Randy leaves town. With more than half a year to go and 2 more houses to flip. Will this relationship survive?

It's crunch time as renovators Randy and John put the finishing touches on project number two. The renovation didn't go as smoothly as they hoped, too much time and money, so Randy insists on a high list price to try and re-coup some of the costs. But with 2 open houses and no serious offers, it's a decision that may come back to haunt them.

Project number 3 is another big renovation, but one that looks promising for John Stassen and Randy Mackay. The boys are feeling good about meeting their goal of finding and flipping four houses in one year. That is until the demolition starts and they find a failing roof, sagging floors and meet an irate neighbor. No one said renovating was easy.

As house number 3 pushes forward into high gear, everything appears to be going smoothly, the plumbing, electrical and heating are well underway. That is until renovators Randy Mackay and John Stassen overlook one critical detail that suddenly forces everything to a shuddering halt. With the renovation at an indefinite standstill, will the boys achieve their one-year goal?

Having solved the permit problems work is back underway on project 3, and renovators Randy and John are pushing to get the house finished and on the market. Throwing a splashy party and open house, the boys hope to generate lots of interest and make a quick sale. But with the lengthy delays and a cooling market will their efforts be in vain?

The boys buy their fourth and final home of the year and fortunately it's a quick sugar coat. With the ability to be in and out in 5 weeks, Randy and John are delighted. It seems like the perfect project to finish up what's turned out to be a tough year. But with constant communication breakdowns it becomes evident that, despite an easy fix, their relationship is spiraling into disrepair.

Fortunately the fourth house is a straightforward project for renovators Randy and John, because nothing else is. As they constantly bicker and insult one another, things become steadily unglued. They have to keep it together as they work side-by-side on a difficult structural challenge. But the final outcome isn't pretty and Randy and John's relationship is in serious jeopardy.

With the end in sight renovators John and Randy try to patch up their relationship as they prepare to put their final house back on the market. But like most things in renovations, it gets complicated. After a difference of opinion with their agent, the boys decide to try and sell the house on their own. Will this come back to bite them or will they sell it themselves and come out on top?

Renovators Randy Mackay and John Stassen have come to the end of an exhausting year. As they look back and re-examine the highs and lows of the past 12 months, they have to decide whether they will carry on flipping homes and more importantly what is the future of their partnership - if any?

With more confidence than experience, renovators Paul Peic and Kye Husbands begin their mission: buy, fix and flip 4 houses in one year. Paul's hustle bumps into Kye's caution. How will these best friends survive their first flip as the walls come down and the budget goes up?

Inexperienced yet over confident flippers Paul and Kye are only on their first flip and already knee deep in debt and disasters. The costs are out of control and their unrealistic deadline is fast approaching - they're going to have to make some serious decisions or it could be "Game Over"!

Paul and Kye put on the final push to wrap up their first flip. Despite dwindling funds they pour in cash to get to the finish. The open house gets a good response and the boys grow optimistic. But did they become too attached to this house and spend too much to get a good return?

With house one finished, but still unsold Paul and Kye start their search for house two. Under pressure, the boys buy what they're confident is a sure quick flip, but soon realize there's a lot more to this project than they thought. With little margin for error and without much of a plan, they start demolition anyway - can they still come out on top?

Well into the demolition on house two, renovators Paul and Kye find more and more problems. Trying to cut costs comes back to haunt them as professionals point out some shortfalls in shortcuts. Now they're re-doing work everywhere, and disagreements ensue. Unresolved is the cash crisis that's growing every day.

Badly delayed, renovators Paul & Kye are driving to complete house number two. But after a late night with a saw, a sledgehammer and a gaping hole the end seems even further off. Are they ever going to finish? Or will they run out of cash (or patience) first?

With freezing weather and lots of debt, it's a dismal time for renovators Paul and Kye: the sale of house one is in jeopardy; house two still hasn't sold and to meet their goal of four houses in one year they need to push on and buy house three.

Things are looking up for Paul and Kye, they've pulled some strings and have the funds to keep project three rolling. Optimistic about being back on track, they're up to their usual antics with demolition and the whole street is intrigued as the new house pops up!

It's the final push on house three to wrap it up and get it sold. But there's a long list of projects to complete and everyone is running out of steam. With a deadline that only Kye and his spreadsheet can believe in, things are looking grim for these fatigued flippers.

Finally, Paul and Kye are onto their last project. So far it's not been an easy ride and there are no signs it will lighten up. On day one they're already over budget and strapped for cash as hope for a quick candy coating on this fourth flip fades.

With almost a year of experience, flippers Paul and Kye were hoping for a smooth final flip. But as problems ripple in from every corner, controlling their spending is now a distant dream. As winter drags on can these worn-out renovators make it to the finish line?

There's light at the end of the tunnel for renovators Paul and Kye, as their year of flipping houses comes to a close. But they've still to face what may be their most daunting challenge yet - with not one but two houses still to sell as time is running out.
