DIY Or Outsource That Rehab?

Hi! It’s Joe Evangelisti, host of The Flip King Real Estate Radio.

One question I get asked a lot, especially by newer investors, is whether they should be doing their own rehabs or outsourcing it to a contractor.

This question is funny:

...Ask one person and they’ll tell you “control your costs and make sure it’s done right by being your own general contractor.”
... Ask another person and they’ll tell you “scale your investing by hiring someone else to do the work for you.”

Both make sense, so which one should you do?

I have an answer, and it might surprise you, but it’s a little more involved than just a simple yes or no. Click here now to check out the blog post

My recommendation is based on my own experience (it’s exactly how I’ve run my investing business) and will keep you from burning through a TON of money and time and totally spinning your wheels... although you might be surprised by it.Read about it here

PS, There isn’t really a wrong way to do it but if you do it differently than the way I’ve described, just be aware that you are opening yourself up to some long-term risks. Find out what those risks are
