The biggest pieces of the puzzle for me when I first started out were understanding the math, understanding and doing my due diligence, and having a general plan of attack for the flip beforehand.  

Being in this business without "Rolling with the Punches" is a recipe for an early heart attack!!   

When I read posts about the cost of labor I almost have a heart attack.

I used to dislike his aggressive actions and the way he closes deals because I believe he doesn't listen to the customer enough and just keeps pushing, attacking and brutally enforce the deal.

Being that you have some higher interest loans, if you were to use the concepts of the debt snowball method, I would probably attack those higher interest loans first and get them paid off ASAP to save on interest.  

I find it really interesting that they're attacking the contract instead of divisions going after unlicensed activity.  

Goals ( plan of attack)Education Financial picture ( get in order )take small steps not big leaps Just my two cents ask away if I can help.Alex

maybe a bunch of things.......but do know that flippers are like starving piranhas, particularly with anything MLS listed. in that, they attack deals, and know a deal vs a non deal. in their predictability, lays information.

Plus, Our contractor was also in a major auto accident (not his fault), attacked by a dog (requiring skin grafts to close it up), had a grandmother in ICU, and had a young daughter who required specialized medical care out of town - all during our rehab project.  

Better to attack the problem.Do your loans fail so often that it's hurting business?
