BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast
Business:Investing
One real estate investing mistake cost house flipper James Dainard $380,000. This mistake was so bad that, in the long run, it may have cost him up to three-quarters of a million dollars. So what was the grave mistake a multi-decade veteran house flipper made that would bankrupt the average real estate investor? Stick around to find out unless you want your house to literally start falling off a cliff (like James’ did).
James has been doing real estate deals in Seattle for two decades. He’s flipped hundreds of houses, but even the experts get it wrong sometimes. Piggybacking from our last episode, James will walk through one of the worst house flips he’s EVER done, the mistakes he could have easily avoided, and why you never, EVER close on a flip until you have permits in place.
