Avoid These First-Time Flipper Mistakes• Underestimating rehab by 20–30%• Not budgeting for holding costs (Baltimore permits can drag)• Ignoring foundation/joist issues, extremely common in Baltimore rowhomes• Buying on the wrong block because “the numbers looked good”Out-of-state flips succeed when the team is strong, not when the spreadsheets look pretty.5.

If we are being bluntly honest with selves; to decry a 50yr term vs 30yr term is pure prejudice. 

Having someone who understands timelines, budgeting, and the realities of construction on the ground is invaluable, especially here in the Twin Cities where older housing stock can throw curveballs.I work with a lot of local investors on fix-and-flip and value-add projects, and the deals that go the smoothest are always the ones with a builder-minded approach like you described — clear scopes, aligned expectations, and honest communication from day one.
