What Kinds of Questions Should I Ask During Investor Interviews?

[Jin Lim]

Hello BP,

I didn't know where to post this, but I think this is the safest place to post. I've been trying to flip homes here on Oahu and have been networking and learning a bunch through experienced investors. I've found myself a mentor and have also been tagging along with any investor that would allow me to tour their projects with them.

That's where I got this idea: Why not record and feature these investors' latest projects in a cinematic way and also have a short interview at the end where I ask every investor the same five questions?

1) How did you find this property? (e.g.: MLS, wholesaler, driving for dollars, etc.)

2) How much did you acquire the property for?

3) How much was the rehab?

4) How much do you expect it to sell for? OR How much did it sell for?

5) What was the biggest lesson you learned from this project?

The goal is to provide viewers an inside look on a real project and also be an educational resource for newbies like myself. It would also benefit the investor by building rapport among other investors and market the property at the same time!

SO my question now to you is: What other questions would you like me to ask these investors? What would you like to see in these videos? 

I'm filming the first two "episodes" this weekend, so I would love your feedback before I begin!

@Jin Lim Maybe house specific questions? Like: "What is your favorite upgrade to this house?" or "What is the single upgrade to this house that you think added the most value (bang for buck)?"
