Stop focusing on the house and start focusing on the lead source. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tYDd_W18eF0 Every investor I know who's doing well understands this. The house is just where a lead ended up. When you know where your leads come from, you can go get more of them. Look at your last five leads. Where did each one come from? An agent, a wholesaler, your MLS search, someone you know? Tell me below which source brought you the most.

Before I make an offer, I don't just run the numbers once. I run what happens when things go wrong. What if it sells for less than I think? What if the renovation goes over budget? What if the buyer asks for a bigger concession at closing? If I can still walk away making money after all three, I buy it. If one bad month wipes out my profit, I don't. That's why I have a minimum profit I need on every flip, and why I've moved toward houses in areas where prices are still going up. It's a lot easier to make it work when the worst case is still a win. Which one worries you most: selling for less, going over budget, or concessions? Tell me below.
