Fix and Flip Deals and Working with Contractors
Fix and flip projects can offer strong returns, but they come with real risks—especially when it comes to managing contractors and renovations. For many investors, the biggest challenges aren’t finding the right property or resale strategy—it’s staying on budget, on schedule, and out of legal trouble during the renovation process.
Contractors play a central role in fix and flip success. They bring the project to life, ensure code compliance, and help turn your vision into a marketable property. But without the right legal oversight, even skilled contractors can become sources of stress and liability. Miscommunication, missing permits, or vague contracts can derail your timeline, inflate your costs, and invite legal problems that eat into profits—or wipe them out entirely.
That’s where legal guidance becomes a critical asset. At GLO, we work with fix and flip investors to protect their projects from start to finish, offering legal support that reduces risk, resolves conflicts, and helps keep your investment on track.
Renovation Risks: What Can Go Wrong Without Legal Oversight
Fix and flip investors often underestimate how easily renovation costs and schedules can spiral out of control. A vague contract, a missed permit, or even a simple miscommunication can snowball into delays, fines, or failed inspections. Without a strong, enforceable agreement, investors are left vulnerable to incomplete work, surprise invoices, or legal disputes.
Colorado law requires specific permits and inspections for most renovation projects. Contractors who ignore these requirements—or aren’t properly licensed—can trigger stop-work orders or liability that ultimately lands on the property owner. Even if a mistake wasn’t your fault, the burden often falls on you as the investor to fix it before resale.
Disputes over scope, timing, or payment are also common. Many of these issues stem from poorly written agreements or verbal understandings that don’t hold up when something goes wrong. Having an experienced attorney draft or review your contractor agreements ensures your project is protected before problems arise.
