One mistake I saw was some investors putting too much money in upgrades and ammenities in a home and they could not recoupe the income back. Its like a pool..its a nice addition/ammenity but does it add much value to a homes value..NO.So on that note adding excessive marble, fixtures, bells and whistles to a home that just wont appraise or having the nicest home in the ghetto that you want to flip, but go crazy. All that matters is the bottom line..what it is appraised at, a buyer will pay, and profit.
