If you're well-capitalized, then this isn't the end of the world... you just spend whatever it takes and accept a worse margin.

We deal with very small margins but have found that since our houses are in great location, newer homes and we self manage our costs are actually quite low!

No.I learned many years ago never to work on marginal deals.

I understand the portion of the reports analyzing probable profit margins and various measures of return on investments.

If you can't handle the down-side, you might want to get out, and look for a deal with more margins to get back in.

I showed the house to two separate investors about 2 weeks ago - neither bit as there wasn't enough margin (I agree).

It's not what it was to past generations.Now...our next project may not clear a 6 figure margin but the confidence I gained from the past transaction I have no reservations about being to flip my way to providing a great life for my family.

(Your offers will obviously include sufficient margins of safety.) 

Hi guys,Actually im newbie at this field me and my partner have like 200k and thinking about starting buying some homes and selling it (our concept looks silly but we are here to try to learn more about that industry), we read the BP ultimate beginner book and searching now for some sort of feasibility studies in real estate, or any kind of numbers showing how much we need to invest and where and how much we should expect as ROI, the profit margin generally in real estate and costs accompanied, i know its general questions but if u can give us any kind of estimations it will be highly appreciated :)Thx 

There is some good profit margins in SD, of course knowing what to look for makes that easier.
