Many investors hesitate to start their next fix-and-flip project due to barriers like limited funding, uncertainty in market conditions, lack of experience in estimating renovation costs, or fear of unexpected delays and expenses. Access to financing, such as 90% of the purchase price, can significantly lower the entry barrier, but success still depends on having a well-thought-out plan for managing renovation costs, timelines, and potential risks to ensure a profitable outcome.
