Do you guys work with a contractor for each rehab job?  I haven't had the opportunity to work with one yet and have heard on one side that they have a lot of expertise and can help you in figuring out what to do with a rehab.  On the other side I have read that they essentially come in to look at the house and expect that you have a plan for what you want to do with it.  I'm sure there is a mix of both given the experience of both people in working with one another but what kind of personal experience have you had?  Thank you as well for your reply and advice, it is very much appreciated!

Hey everybody, I am new to real estate investing and have decided to get into flipping houses.  I have a financial background, good understanding of how flipping works, my flipping team is coming together and I see a lot of potential in the San Antonio markets.  The area I am running into issues is the design and creativity needed to successfully flip.  Dollar for dollar I understand that you actually lose money when you renovate a house so the real profit comes from being able to step into the potential buyers shoes and create a unique and comfortable living experience.  I am good with numbers and finding houses but I have never been an overly creative person and I am struggling when it comes to putting the interior and exterior of a flip together in a way that has the flow, comfort and experience needed to create a profit.  I am planning on spending a lot of time at home improvement stores in my area but outside of doing this or hiring somebody to help me design a flip house is there anything else I can do that would prevent overspending? I know a lot of flippers aren't designers themselves but I look at their work and I don't understand how they came up with their ideas.  Any help, recommendations or advice is greatly appreciated!
