Good morning BP associates. I am poised and ready to go. I am interested in fix and flip. I am in a good financial position and have construction experience and have been studying for the last year. I am in the Dallas Texas market. Last week our neighbor was telling my wife that "her nephew" tried flipping and he is a "real gogetter" but he was unsuccessful because the "big boys" have the market all sewed up.

I don't know all the details about the "nephew", but I have always believed that one makes their own opportunities no matter the market.

I guess what I am looking for are examples/input from some of the smaller flippers in a hot market to confirm that there is enough work for everyone, especially those who are willing to hustle.

Hi Bob.

Don't tell the Dream Busters out there what you are doing. Because when they see you're doing good and getting RICH then they have to look at themselves and realize that they should be doing better and Bob took action and took control of his Universe instead of the Universe controlling him.

Besides they don't want you to succeed. They want you to fail so they can tell you I told you so.

So don't listen to those people. It your world NOT THEIRS!!

Here's an assignment. Go to you tube and look up "Choosing your future" by Les Brown. It's free!

There are 6 recordings go listen to them over and over again.
