Manage episode 497598176 series 3678844
Every house flipper knows the pain of a contractor nightmare—blown budgets, missed deadlines, and quality issues that make you question your sanity. But what if you could build a team of reliable professionals who consistently deliver?
This episode of Demo to Dollars cuts through the fluff to deliver actionable strategies for finding trustworthy contractors who will become valuable assets to your flipping business. Host Ed Mathews shares seven proven tactics that separate the pros from the pretenders, including the surprising power of early morning supply house visits, the goldmine of connections waiting at your local Real Estate Investors Association, and why starting small with new contractors saves massive headaches later.
Beyond just finding good help, Ed walks through critical protection strategies every flipper needs: the right contract language, payment structures that incentivize performance not promises, and insurance requirements that keep you legally safe when things go sideways. These aren't theoretical concepts—they're battle-tested approaches from someone who's learned these lessons the expensive way.
The right contractor team transforms your flipping business, turning the most stressful aspect of renovations into a competitive advantage. Your margins get better, your timelines become predictable, and your stress levels drop dramatically. Whether you're on your first flip or your fiftieth, implementing these contractor-finding strategies will immediately impact your bottom line and sanity. Follow Demo to Dollars wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss these real-world flipping tactics that actually work!
