House flippers, listen up… we need to talk about contractors.It’s not enough to just find a “good” contractor to handle your flip projects. You also need to know how to build an effective, long-term working relationship with that contractor… and this requires setting expectations correctly, managing your renovations, running the numbers the right way, and more.In this episode, Mike Simmons shares the lessons he’s learned from working with many different contractors on countless flips over the years… so you can learn from his mistakes.We’re digging into stuff like…How Mike has his contractors bid projects (this might surprise you)…Why he has multiple contractors come to his houses at the same time…How his business almost collapsed overnight due to cutting ties with 1 contractor…The contractor ads he puts on Craigslist…Why he creates scopes of work BEFORE the contractors show up…The questions he asks when contractors apply to bid his jobs (his Google form)…What a “release of lien” is and why you need them with subs…How he incentivizes contractors to finish ahead of schedule…Some of the major “gotchas” and tactical mistakes flippers make…Why it’s important to “control the ARV” of the houses you flip…How he “accidentally” got into wholesaling…How to grow and scale your real estate investing company……and more.It’s been awhile since we’ve caught up with Mike Simmons.
