Notable Quotes:

“The opportunities are just off the charts on what we can accomplish in this market.”

 

“I didn’t know what I didn’t know.”

 

“I think we are going to look back at this time 10 years from now and think we missed some opportunities just because we were scared of the market changes.”

 

“The targets and numbers you use to calculate profit for a flip are probably going to stay the same even when you have some experience.”

 

“Your profit margin isn’t always a representation of what will make you happy, but also a built-in margin of error.”

 

“Build in at least a $20k profit margin on the first $100k so that you have some wiggle room if you run into issues with the rehab.”

 

“You don’t want to be on a high wire without a safety net.”

 

“Shoot for a profit margin of at least 15% on the retail price.”

 

“You want to look at what house prices have done in your market since May, since that is really when the market started to decline.”

 

“We don’t put inspection contingencies in our contracts. What we have are funding contingencies.”
