Nathan Payne walks through a house and identifies what kills curb appeal: overgrown yard, damaged windows, peeling front door paint, old roof. The seller claims minimal work needed, but these exterior fixes are essential for flipping profit.

But you know, there's probably a lot of things that people overlook, you know, when flipping a house.
