I paid too much for a house because I was anxious and skipped due diligence. It had structural and drainage issues, plus a forest to clear. Losing money taught me a huge lesson about prioritizing facts over feelings.
A crucial reminder for house flippers: always check the crawl space! An investor learned this the hard way, missing out on all profit after ignoring a potential issue that an inspector later confirmed.
Fear is the only thing holding you back. Don't wait for the perfect moment. Just start. You might plateau for a while, but keep pushing. Eventually, you'll be the one buying every deal.
The turning point? Realizing a great deal always brings money. If you find a property with a 40% profit margin, investors will gladly lend you the funds. Lack of personal capital is no longer an excuse for a truly good deal.

As a recovering perfectionist, I used to control everything. This led to me sitting on an Airbnb for two years, missing out on income. The turning point? Letting go and outsourcing. It was the best decision ever for getting things done.
In 2021, simple cabinet paint and laminate counters might have worked for flips. Now, especially in competitive areas like Wyandotte, Louisville, those shortcuts won't cut it. If your flip relies on painting cabinets instead of replacing them, it's likely not a good deal.
A wholesaler tried to sell me a distressed property for $135,000. After factoring in $60,000 in needed repairs, I knew my offer had to be $100,000. He pushed back, but I stuck to my guns. After a few calls, he finally got the seller to agree to $100,000. It pays to know your numbers and negotiate.
