Rehabbing 101 --reminder!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Rewards
As I had carpet installed yesterday in my rehab project -- I thought to myself where did I go wrong?  The answer especially rang true as I spoke to a client today about his upcoming rehab project.    

As I consulted with him I said to him AS I REMINDED MYSELF -

Do not over improve the home for the area --understand your specified area and who will purchase in that area(buyer psche) 
I advised him to have a detailed plan and a budget. 
Understand the permitting process.
If you hire a GC, check in on him and put timelines within the contract w/penalties.( Suggested payment - 1/3 upfront, 1/3 in middle, 1/3 when complete-final inspection).

 
What could I have done better? 
That''ll be the next topic when I check in the completed work by the roofer--aghhhhh!
