Home renovation costs can add up quickly. Whether you’re flipping a home, rehabbing your next BRRRR, or just doing some much-needed touch-ups around the house, the growing cost of material and labor can put you back tens of thousands just for some simple upgrades. House flippers like James Dainard know this better than anyone. James and his team oversee multiple flips every month and they’ve seen their costs rise while profits start to shrink.
As experienced rehabbers and renovators, James and his team needed to start thinking creatively about how they tackle home renovation projects. After trial and error, James has come up with the five key ways he keeps his flips at or under budget while also delivering a quality product to a new homeowner. These tips could save you thousands on each section of your home rehab and go far beyond the standard “do it yourself” type advice we regularly hear.
