This is a topic that gets tossed around a lot in the investing world, but I personally have never actually seen/read a real in-depth discussion on this aspect of real estate investing: Should you (and why should you) bring in a qualified, professional interior designer onto your investing team or project for a flip or flip and hold?

Do the aspects that you love and can do cheaply.It sounds like you enjoy the carpentry.For me - I like tile work.

In addition, it is IMPERATIVE that you learn the management aspect of the business.Do you have a specific question?

There is very active discussions on handling reservations, screening, taking credit card payments, handling foreign reservations, gift baskets, how to manage the locks (high turnover so keys are a problem), cleaning and maintenance ideas, etc.WARNING: The list is mostly about the operational aspects of a VR business.

When you start talking about having your own kids in it, you lose some of the business aspect.

An advantage that I see to this is my ability to negotiate all of the aspects of the sale.

My first deal (about 8 months ago) was criticized to the max because I overestimated the ARV and underestimated the repair costs.

I purchased and managed 6 while working FT, but QUIT my job to focus on RE..I'm building and maintaining my portfolio...At some point, I will turn over to PM, but I enjoy handling the people aspect of my business!!

(photos go directly from the mobile app) For example, I want to be notified of when you sell your house (mostly because I am curious, and also hoping that you get a good deal), so I hit the heart button and they will message me when it gets pending and sold.I also use the price estimation a lot, since they adjust for some things (like bedrooms and bathrooms and sq footage), so for a quick "not really critical" comp, I use them.

I could be wrong as I work in land development and not the building code aspect specifically.
