First House Flip-- Where do I start?

[Daniel Pitner]

Hi guys, 

I want to do a house flip, however, I'm a little paralyzed by fear.  Ideally, I would want to partner with somebody who knows what they are doing and is willing to teach me while I provide some of the financing.  What would you guys suggest for finding a trustworthy, reliable partner? I want to protect myself from being taken advantage of and I don't know where to start.  Your suggestions would be appreciated!
