Scrum and flipping a house

[Natalya Whitaker]

Has anyone read the book "Scrum, the art of doing twice the work in half the time"? And then applied it to flipping? In the book he tells a story of how he hired contractors to remodel his house and they used Scrum. If I'm remembering correctly, they did it in three months on budget. His neighbor was very impressed so he hired the same crew to do roughly the same job (his house was almost exactly the same as the other guys). It took them six months and they went way over budget. Same crew, only difference was they didn't use scrum. So far all the deals I've done I've fixed up myself, but I would like to start using contractors and was contemplating the idea of "Scrum" and the "great groups" mentality to get the job done. Any thoughts?
