Maximizing Your Time

[Steve K]

Thought I’d get the consensus from the rehabbers here who are doing at least a few flips per year.

How are you maximizing your time when it comes to finding rehab deals? It’s been incredibly time intensive for me to find deals, view the property, write up the contract and chase the listing agent and for flip properties the results haven’t been too good considering the time invested.

Some investors have recommended hiring a drive by person, others recommend simply staying on course, and some have found the idea of visiting every property comical and often make their offers sight unseen.

Before I bother looking at any property I pull it up on MLS, use google earth and street view and any other resources I can find. While this helps whittle down the list of potential purchases it really doesn't save tons of time.

How do you handle this?
