Are you interested in rehabbing properties for profit? If so then this blog post will help you know what to do, what not to do, and will
give you 4 deadly reasons not to over do it on rehabs (because it will
cost you a lot of money and headaches if you do)…
There are a lot of rehabbing shows on TV, and they can be pretty entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, too many people see rehabs as an
easy and fun way to get rich quick, which rehabs are most definitely
not! Yes, it is possible to make good money on rehabs but it’s also
possible to overdo it and end up losing money. Here are 4 deadly reasons
not to over do it on rehabs.
4 Deadly Reasons Not To Over Do It On Rehabs
Reason #1. Your Budget Can Easily Go Out The Window
On a rehab, you set a budget of money and time – how much money you want
to spend and how much time you plan to spend it in. Unfortunately, it’s
very easy for that budget to go out the window and you may end up
spending more money and more time than you intended.
This can happen for any number of reasons but it especially happens when you over do it because even simple additions to your plan can
increase the money or time you need to spend.
Reason #2. People Will Change It Anyway
Buyers want a house they can move into right away. And some buyers might want a house that is done up really nicely, although most buyers
are looking for something plain that they can add their own personality
to.
In fact, some buyers may even change the décor as soon as they move in, so your expensive and fancy paint job or cupboard doors might end up
being covered over! Just stick with plain and neutral decoration to
stay in budget.
Reason #3. Money Is Only Made When You Sell
One of the most overlooked reasons for why you shouldn’t over do it in your rehab is because you only make money when you sell. The longer
you are on the property working, the longer you delay your income.
You need to put together a straightforward plan, get in there, do the work, and then get the house sold ASAP. Overdoing it will only delay you.
Reason #4. You Are In The Rehab Business
You are in the rehab business, not the home decoration business. Your job is not to shock people with how beautiful the house is or how good
your taste is in paint; rather, your job is to create a nice house that
someone will want to pay you for. Period.
Summary
It’s easy to go overboard and do too much on rehabs but if you follow these 4 deadly reasons not to over do it on rehabs then it should help
you make more money and keep more of that money as profit.
