One of the biggest factors in successful flips is building a strong team: contractors, agents, lenders, and property managers. 

One of the biggest issues is probably borrower default—whether due to mismanagement, market downturns, or unforeseen circumstances, lenders can end up in long, costly recovery processes.

The biggest gains come from going all-in on one market and really getting to know it inside and out.

My biggest aim is to ensure that my long-term success aligns with whoever I invest with's long-term success instead of making their money on the upfront sale and leaving me on my own. 

If you're diversified you can deal with all of these hurdles.

The biggest factor will be how long you plan to own the property or when you think you may refinance.

My biggest frustration isn't with the deal failure itself, it's more with the operating performance of the GP and honestly I'm not sure how an LP can really determine this.

By year end I will tackle a MF, value add with my son that would be sweet if we can swing the coop/tic (handling the finance challenges is the hurdle) so he ends up with a unit at below 50% of retail.  

One of the biggest mistakes I see investors making is they forget to address things like HVAC, siding, etc when they have access to a hard money loan.

I think the biggest roadblock has been the lack of true testimonials of successful people in these programs.
