Obviously doing your due diligence is critical and the podcast has great points on working with contractors etc. but I'd like any advice I could get to beat my anti-BRRR mindset. 

I’m a bit anti insurance.

You need a hard money construction loan at 65% of completed value (you need 35% cash ready) it's going to cost 14% and piles of points (I do not do these, no never)  they will want reserve accounts to hold in case you don't finishThere are scam franchises, be careful.Go work for one in Administrations or Sales and get an idea what it takes to find residents and the tangles before you get family to put up money.Your question is what will it make?

My goal is to become self sufficient so I can save money and avoid being scammed by contractors when it’s time to rehab my next property.

I think I know how some regulators think because I use to be one, but I'm not your regulator, IMO this assignment of contract stuff passes the test of scamming homeowners, it's unethical. 

update on this house is the owner sold it for $900.HAHAHAHAHA and another outsider gets scammed again. 

Most of them are iffy at best and scams at worst.

I agree with others above that his advice is super helpful for many people, except for the extreme anti-financing part which seems to be more related to his personal issues than how mortgage debt works for the majority of people. 

If they have an issue with any of that then chances are they are going to scam you. 

NONE of them are a good use of you're time or money at the least, and at the most they are a scam.
