Sometimes Cheap Can Be Expensive

In the real estate business it is so common especially for newer investors to shop contracting, lending, insurance, and all other associated services, merely looking for the cheapest price available. The inherent problem in doing that is rather than accomplishing the necessary task of building an unstoppable team that you can move forward with and replicate success with you are instead just facilitating a transaction. The extra point on a loan or the $500 more for the HVAC system may be worth spending if the few grand spent cumulatively on your project means on the next one and the one after that everyone you need and trust is willing, ready and cares about your success. This is advice worth considering as you are starting out on your journey in real estate!

if you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
