Transcript
I got two contractor bids for the exact same project. One came in at $28,000 and the other at $61,000. That's why you should never rely on just one estimate. Pricing can vary dramatically depending on the contractor, overhead, schedule, and scope of work. Always get multiple bids, compare what's actually included, and make sure you're comparing apples to apples before making a decision. #HouseFlipping #RealEstateInvesting #HomeRenovation #ContractorTips #FixAndFlip
