Hi Angel! I just happened to see this post! I had a baby the week you sent it so I guess it got lost in the craziness! Contractors are still my biggest challenge. I actually just lost a possible deal bc we were on a time crunch and the contractor came in super high so we didn't put a bid in. Have you had any luck?

Hi all! I'm in the Richmond, Virginia area and am really struggling to find a solid General Contractor with reasonable prices. Anyone have any good recommendations?

Thanks!

Rebecca

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the advice!

Thanks @Dooreuhn CeeI appreciate your comments. I agree with the fact that there are always things out of your control. I just didn't know if possibly there were any opinions on huge things to look out for to protect yourself. My husband is just very careful and I want to respect that and him as we jump into this.

Thanks!

@Nicole A. Thanks! This is good advice. My husband definitely has more of a negative mindset, but its great because I have a super positive one so he keeps me real and I keep him positive :) We don't have a deal in place but are just getting financing in order so we will be ready to go as soon as the next deal comes our way. We are definitely planning to go super conservative on this first one to make sure we are safe.

Great idea about the partner @Don Harrisand @Frank Woodin! Now I just have to go about finding one of those :) 

Thanks all!

My husband and I are getting ready to jump into flipping houses. He is a bit hesitant and typically thinks of worst case scenarios which has him a bit panicked. I want us both to be completely ready before we do this. I would like to provide him with some worst case scenarios and ways we can get out of it. His biggest fear is losing all we have worked for financially. So my question to you all is what's the worst that can happen? And how can we protect ourselves so it doesn't?

Thanks all! My decision is made! Going to the bank today! 

Thanks! I've been thinking the same thing so it helps to hear it from the experts!

Hi all!

We are ready to jump into flipping homes soon. We are looking at some possible deals now. We plan on doing a HELOC for the flip. Should we go ahead and open up that line of credit now or wait until we have a specific deal?

Thanks!
