Fix and Flip: Share the invaluable lessons you've learned!

[Krystal Wilbanks]

Anyone who has ever fixed and flipped a house definitely has some kind of story to tell!  We always hear about "the secrets to success" and how we are all going to be millionaires if we buy this book and follow those 5 simple steps but I think the most valuable lessons I've learned were from simply having first hand experience.  

Please take a moment to share a fix and flip experience that left you with an invaluable experience!
