How Being a Rehabber Is like Running Your Own Business
There are a lot of smart, successful people all around us. However, not all of them can be self-employed and run their own business. This is a unique skill. In my mind, what differentiates entrepreneurs from other folks is their ability to wear different hats effectively. Remember the saying: Jack of all trades, master of none. I hate this saying.

Your value might lie precisely in the fact that that you know several trades well enough to explore connections between them and leverage them together for your goals.

To compensate for the risk, private lenders charge more for their money, making their loans more expensive than those offered by traditional lenders. If you are one of the traditional lenders, the only advantage of your product is the price you charge.
