List of Lessons
1) Don’t try to flip a 120 yearold Victorian (unless
that’s your specialty)!
2) Hire only topquality property managers (and
pay them well).
3) Invest only with experienced syndicators with a
proven “track record” and plenty of “means”
behind them.
4) Borrow only from “accredited” investors, or those
who know you.
5) When buying at a discount, make sure it’s a
genuine discount. Corollary: Don’t fall in love
with the “opportunity”.
6) Rehab with quality materials and workmanship.
7) When buying or selling, use brokers or agents
with the appropriate specialty.
8) Invest in all appropriate inspection reports when
buying.
9) Obtain permits for all construction work/repairs
where permits are required.
