Whenever I ask investors what their biggest mistake is it’s almost always that they invested in an area they didn’t know.

Right now, our biggest setback is finding good deals fast enough.

I see a lot of them struggling with a few different things, depending on what size they are looking at:If you are looking at 2-4 unit properties, one of the biggest issues is getting a good handle on the finances.

Biggest struggle I am faced with right now is actually getting funding as I do not have a visa / green card to live and work in the US yet. 

The biggest failures for flippers come in shortcuts.

@DuBeaux Dingle  The biggest things are the extra costs with condos or townhouses due to condo/HOA fees and how they are run/maintained. 

The biggest issue will be finding a lender that understands those parts of the rules and will make the loan.

The biggest advantage you can have is a buyers agent who is experienced with remodel and renting - you will catch 95% of the issues at the showing; the inspection you do after you have an accepted offer is an extra precaution at that point.

Then I will Airbnb my original home ($30k - 50k revenue potential). 

The biggest external factor is the market you’re operating in.
