You need to begin planning your marketing strategy or exit plan before you actually buy a property. It’s not good enough if you wait until the rehab is complete because your buying strategy should be intertwined with your selling strategy. For example, did you assume a loan that can be passed on to your buyer or can you create an assumable loan when you buy? If a new loan will be required, what will conventional or FHA lenders require in terms of physical condition of the house? Start planning your strategies on the front end so that you can begin implementing them on the day you close your purchase.

Time and time again, it’s been said that the most challenging element for an investor in rehabbing a property is working with contractors to ensure that the project is completed within the planned timeframe and budget. While there are numerous reasons for a project to run over time or over budget, the two main culprits are 1) lack of communication between investor and contractor regarding quality of materials or workmanship and 2) mishandling of repair monies by investor or contractor.

If you need more convincing, I suggest you write to Bank of America Business Services Dept. or Dun and Bradstreet Credit Rating Service, Inc. The information they provide about starting other businesses and the odds for success are quite gloomy by comparison.
