Timelines and repairs

[Joshua Pinner]

What would you say, (from past/current experiences) takes the longest to repair in a fix and flip?

@Joshua Pinner: planning phase, as noted.  Between architects and pulling building, plumbing, electric and mechanical permits, that can take quite a bit of time.  

Past that, it depends on the contractor.   Finish work is always time consuming, but my current project the plumber that was supposed to finish rough in in one week is now on week 7.

Windows that were supposed to be a month to get manufactured, delivered and installed, are now at 2 1/2 months just to get delivered (assuming they don't get delayed again).

The one thing that consistently is done quickly for me is roofs.  Almost always 1 1/2 days for a full tear off, redeck and new roof.  Risk here is the weather, but there is almost never more than a week at a time that I could not get a rough done.
