Hello BP fam,I'm planning on upgrading my flooring from carpet to some sort of laminate/vinyl/hybrid flooring - both for personal (allergy) purposes in the short-term, and for re-sale in the long term (6mo+).

. #4 See everything you plan to buy in person. 

I know nothing is guaranteed, especially with the way real estate is today but I was only asking this question to see if my plan sounded good and if reaching out to that many people did in fact give me a really good chance at finding a deal.

-Explore builder-financing programs, private lenders, or hard money lenders who may focus more on the deal itself rather than personal experience.If you can demonstrate successful project management and a solid business plan, funding will become easier over time.

Just need to put a plan in motion

I'm making some pretty big moves right now and changing my business plan in a new direction, so I don't want to die of shiny object syndrome, but this method really speaks to me.

Crickets...At this rate, it will be 2+ years before the project is finished.Anytime you ask for a project plan or schedule you will get vague responses with no actual plan.

You can withdraw from your 401k starting in the year you turn 55 if you qualify.I am following a plan similar to yours.

and i know that that there’s risk involved, so ill always be prepared for things not going according to plan. and i think starting small and gaining knowledge and experience over time is key. 

Stay on top of material price trends, and have contingency plans for unexpected costs.
