Here are few tips on how to avoid this problem on your flips:1) Create a file folder for you flip (both electronically and in paper form), so you get and maintain the proper documents stated below.2)  Draft a summary general contractor (if you are the GC) plan or have your GC prepare a plan on what work will be done before you start it.3) Identify and create a list of all subcontractors that will be used.4)  Identify all materials that will be needed or used for your flip.5) Prepare all lien waivers for all subcontractor and materials either before the process starts (this is ambitious - but is a great idea)  or at the time of paying your subcontractors.  6) Lastly, get all lien waivers to your attorney prior to the actual closing.
