Kortney Wilson is a real estate pro with an eye for design. Her husband and business partner, Dave, knows a thing or two about construction. Together they have a passion for seeking out forlorn and neglected houses in and around Nashville, transforming them into beautiful homes then placing them back on the market to realize a healthy profit. Flipping houses can be risky business, but this energetic and dedicated couple seems to have found a formula for success. Check out this example of their handiwork in an impressive renovation featured in Season 1 of their HGTV series Masters of Flip.

BEFORE. This house was sorely in need of some love, but Kortney and Dave immediately saw potential. Drawing cards included the distinctive stone exterior, hardwood floors, a desirable location and a lot that was huge relative to other homes in the neighborhood. The home's interior would reveal the real challenges.

AFTER. The exterior gets a simple refresh with new landscaping, bright green trim, newly wrapped columns and improvements to the porch and entry.

After a quick tour of the interior, the consensus was that the house was charming on the outside, ugly on the inside. Dark paneling, dated tile surfaces, acoustic tile ceiling and old fixtures were in evidence throughout. Dave and Kortney purchased the house for $190,000 with a plan to put $120,000 into renovation.
