I saw an episode of that where a couple bought a decent house and put a pretty decent chunk of change into it. The two things they didn't do were to add central AC ( it was in southern California) and then when they were done and got the new appraisal they got greedy and tried to sell it without a realtor. After 9 months of paying 1500 a month they paid 15K to list the house with a bunch of Realtors and sold it, but they ended up losing more than half their profit. If they had put in AC and used a realtor it would have sold fast and they could have made a really nice profit. greed sometimes kills
