The fees and overall costs of these loans needs to be a key factor including what if the project goes over time . . . . you can be underwater in no time.Underestimating repair costs and overestimating ARVs based on Zestimates are the next stumbling block.There's money to be made but make sure numbers all work WITH contingencies defined and overages expected . . . remember, a project will always cost more and take longer than initially thought!

The one Brandon Turner wrote about doubling your portfolio every year is also good but I cant remember the name off the top of my head.
