HGTV Shows Aren't Showing it All

Anyone else get frustrated by those HGTV shows that make it look so easy to flip a home? Flipping a home is a business and like any other - it requires knowledge and planning to actually be successful.

I can't tell you how many novice real estate investors I've seen lose money because they've purchased a project without any real understanding of what they're about to take on.

Do you have your success team in place? How much time did you spend vetting the team you put together?

Agreed. 

HGTV is to real estate, like soap operas are to real life.
