House Flip Timeframe
General question, is there any recommendations or a rule of thumb for how long a house flip should take from the time you purchase the property? I know there are many factors that come into play. Thanks for the help in advance!

Is there a rule of thumb for how long it should take you to fly someplace?
Well, actually I guess there is -- anywhere from about 30 minutes to about 30 hours, depending on the details of your trip...
Likewise with rehabbing -- it should take you anywhere from about a day to about a year, depending on the details of your project...
And much like flying, the goal is to get from point A to point B in as little time as possible, without crashing and burning...
