The 80/20 Rule Of Renovating Profit

In this episode I will share with you "The Pareto Principle" and basically it means that for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. And that principle applies to all aspects of our life.

How does it apply to a renovator? When you are doing a renovation for profit, the small amount of work like putting together the deal on your projects can make the biggest impact,  to create that 80% of your result.
