The most important things an owner/rehabbed can do to protect themselves are:Hire legit contractorsPay attention to any notices you receive from subs/suppliers.Require lien releases from subs and suppliers who have filed notices, with each progress payment, and talk to them direct.File your Notice Of Commencement as required.....if you don’t do this you extend the time periods specified in the lien laws process.Do some educational reading, FL Statutes chapter 713

Keep BP updated on your progress!

In my case, I decided to get an MBA and found that while pricey, it offered me all the basics I needed to know and the skills to learn more without letting the fear of the unknown impede my progress.

I'm operating from Michigan and am able to take occasional trips down to Indy to keep an eye on progress.     

Splitting it feels like it would grind my progress to a halt. 

Job 4 and 5 are still in progress . 

However, when we state our expectations, it doesn't progress beyond the phone call.

@Chad Jackson Hey Chat, just curious to have an update to know things progressed.

Keep us updated on the progress.

Congrats on the progress so far.What's your overall leverage ratio across the portfolio?
