Each Scope of Work (SOW) is unique to each property, as the specific needs of each flip vary widely based on the property’s condition, location, and target buyer.

I see the value in not being overwhelmed because of a failure to properly build a situation with systems and organization.

It requires a lot more work, follow up, and it's necessary to have systems in place to support the tenant vetting, rent collection and creating lease agreements.

I am willing to be dollars to donuts that most of your Section 8 tenants are able-bodied humans intelligent enough to get a job and pay their way through life, but they somehow manage to milk the system.

Then, before buying anything else, make a list of all the learnings you got from this experience, and then list the systems and policies you'll put in place to ensure you never do this again!

—yep, that’s probably one of Ben Wolff’s landscape hotels, stealing your attention and vacation dreams.I recently caught up with Ben, co-founder of Onera and Oasi, about what makes his unique stays so successful, and one thing stood out to me: It’s all about creating that “wow” factor.

Develop a system and checklist.  

Couple of things I looked out for:- Area, make sure it's somewhere that will have stable demand- I stayed away from homes that had a lot of renovations that were needed- During the tour see if you can spot basic issues like if wiring is old or how new is the HVAC system, etc. - If you decide to keep the tenants that are already there see how well they keep the place

I have a knack for saving on materials while providing some unique flair that will stand out in the market. 

The first one (about a year ago) was not productive at all for me but honestly some of that is my fault because I just didn't have a great follow up system in place.
