New to REI

Hello, my name is Zach Jarvis and I am a college student majoring in Finance. My family has always been involved in real estate. My parents own a few rental homes. My dad is a general contractor, who builds custom homes,  and my mom is a part-time real estate agent. I am interested in starting a family business where we build custom homes, do fixes and flips, and have rentals. I want to learn more about fixes and flips. For the past few months, I have been watching YouTube videos, listening to podcasts, and practicing with deal analyzers. I don't know where to start since I am a college student on a budget. I would appreciate any and all advice. Thank you!

It's not always what you know, but who you know! If you have a lower budget, try to find people who would be willing to partner with you on the first deal (or couple). Come up with some sort of structure to show your value and why they should partner with you. Ex: you and/or your dad do the rehabbing on a flip property.
