My response to this is if the individuals are hesitant to invest in the first place, the likelihood of that same individual waiting to invest later and then pick an investment with a higher risk profile (which often comes with investments that yield higher returns) is possible, but maybe not as likely.

I appreciate your response.

Me and my Partner have a deal under contract out of town but the greatest challenge is finding buyers in that market.Feels like we called every line available to find buyers in the area but we haven't struck a solid buyer any suggestions on building a buyers list or finding buyers interested in Fix and Flips Near WACO.

Throughout my years, I’ve learned plenty from mistakes, like underestimating the importance of solid agreements with buyers.

If you hire a big name brand builder you main have to pay more on overhead (project manager, superintendent, heavy equipment and machines) and their profit versus if you hire a small builder, the overhead could be almost nothing, and lastly, if you are a good investor/customer, you maybe able to get a better deal (a builder is willing to build the house for less profit).
