Looking for assistance

Robert Deeb

Hello everyone , I'm a complete newbie on house flipping and I literally went to my first house flipping group meet in San Diego .

I currently work 2 jobs and I'm looking for an honest way to get through my current situation . I lose my house last year because of a situation that was out of my control (long story involving an over spending relative and a friend that we housed for 3.5 years for free who ended up opening multiple credit cards under my name and completely destroying my credit ). Just so I am honest and get this out of the way , I currently live in my car .

I am a very hard worker who is willing to put in the hours needed to succeed. What I don't have is a clear pictute of what I need to learn in order to  

Do well here . Everything is fuzzy and seems to lead to information overload .

Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction so that this fizzy picture starts to become clear . Not looking for a handout , just a direction .

I would like to know how I would be able to distinguish between a flip that's a GO and one that just isn't worth the time , plus I don't know anything about repairs and how to know how much is needed to input into the expenses situation .

Thanks everyone 

Best regards 

Bob

Bob, I sent you a PM this could be a long shot but I've got a good friend in Bay Park area who rents rooms in his house and he's a super chill guy. I think you could be a good match for their living arrangement. Respond to my PM I'll connect you two.
