I’m on my first flip, and the official start for renovations was November 1st 2018. I was told it would take 12 weeks to complete the project and now we are well past that and still having issues. All of a sudden I need a new electric panel, and as of today “something” is wrong with the plumbing, and little things that I could (and should at this point being that I’m so frustrated) just do myself are taking too long.

My questions: How do I expedite things, and how do I prevent this in the future? I’m very new so go easy on me. I have made too many mistakes to count and have beat myself up worse than anyone else could.

Off topic: is having panic attacks a normal side effect of real estate investing? Asking for a friend.
