FLIP Tips: Buy the Book

The authors of FLIP, Rick Villani and Clay Davis, have been involved in more than 1,000 flips through their business, HomeFixers. Based on these experiences, they’ve created a list of the three biggest mistakes flippers make.

Last week’s biggest mistake was over- or under-improving a house.

This week’s tip is on the importance of making the absolute most of your money -- and your time.

FLIP TIP No. 3: Don't do too much of the rehab work yourself

If you love working on houses and think of flipping as a way to make a little money doing something you love, then by all means, hang that drywall and tile that floor. But if you look at house flipping as a business, either a side-business or your full-time job, they recommend you leave the rehab work to the professionals.
