Читать книгу Flipping Houses For Dummies - Ralph R. Roberts - Страница 22

When you’re gambling with more than $100,000 of your own or someone else’s money, learning by trial-and-error can be catastrophic. A safer way to develop the skills and foresight needed to reduce costly mistakes is to learn from others. Develop your own house flipping team and rely on the following professionals to guide and educate you:

 Real estate agent

 Financier/lender

 Accountant

 Title company

 Appraiser

 Home inspector

 Real estate lawyer

 Contractor

In Chapter 3, I describe the role that each of these valuable individuals plays on your team, and I provide some criteria for selecting the best of the bunch. I also devote an entire chapter (Chapter 13) to building and managing a rehab team.

Hiring professionals may increase your costs but can save you a considerable amount of money in terms of time, doing the job properly, and avoiding costly mistakes. Just be sure to calculate the cost of those professionals into your investment when determining how much to pay for the property.
