What are some hurdles you had to overcome to get this deal done?

he initial purchase was pretty simple, but we had some issues with the contractor going several months beyond completion date and scope increase. Eventually we had to fire the contractor and hire another to complete the job.

What are some of the lessons you learned with this deal?

I’ve learned to be more diligent with partners that have different responsibilities to make sure they are on top of their role. I’ve also learned to get everything in writing and to keep clean records and organized from the very beginning.

Although we have numerous documented successful deals from our coaching students, we cannot track all of our students’ results, and therefore cannot provide a typical result. You should assume that the average person makes little to no money or could lose money as there is work and risk associated with investing in real estate.
