How did you find your first investment/flip?

I'm sure alot of us newbies are seeking insight on investing, where to look for a good buy, how to make deals and what are the right/wrong steps..

We all want to be successful and if I had any advice I would love to give it!! Being that I work as a paralegal for a RE law firm I see people buying investments all the time! I just don't know how they do it!

We've looked everywhere for properties with equity that aren't in horrible condition but have had no luck :( Our next step is hiring a realtor, we were just trying to save on that cost!

HELP THE NEWBS!!! .. :oops:
