Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Nicole Sweat Martel stopped referring our company because we wouldn't support their optimistic numbers on purchase price, rehab budget, ARV and rent.We also dealt with a lot of novice investors who didn't seem to want to take the time to understand the process and the challenges.ALL investors should understand that when renovating old homes, there are unexpected surprises that no one could predict.

Market circumstances might change, even if your intention is to flip the property, so think about your choices in case your initial plan doesn't work out.Market Analysis: To verify your predictions on future appreciation, growth in the rental market, or the effect of renovations on property value, do a comprehensive analysis of the market.Time frame: Evaluate the opportunity cost of having your cash invested in a non-performing asset and be realistic about how long you're willing to wait for the property to turn a profit.Investing in a property with negative cash flow can be a calculated risk under the right circumstances, but it requires a higher level of due diligence, market insight, and financial planning.
