In Part 4 of our 10-part House Flipping 101 series, we’re focusing on staying on track with budgets, timelines, and managing delays. A successful flip requires more than listing expenses. It means creating a realistic budget and timeline that supports the entire project from start to finish.

We cover how to break your budget into clear subcategories, get two to three quotes for major expenses, and add a buffer for surprises. You’ll also learn why budgeting for tools matters, how to set realistic timelines, and why delays and backorders are a normal part of the process. Walk away with practical strategies to stay organized, flexible, and in control.
