Hello! My sister and I live in Raleigh NC and have recently quit our jobs to pursue a business in house flipping.  We  attended the Fortune Builders seminar last February and have been doing self education about the business since then and at this point it would really be great if there was someone out there who would be willing to give us advice and guidance as we begin to look to purchase our first property.  We have looked into going to tax auctions and maybe buying directly from the owner before the actual auction and then either flipping the property ourselves or sell it to another flipper.  I have been reading blogs on this site for awhile but to have an individual we could directly learn from, or if there is someone that actually lives in this area and would be willing to help guide us through our first transaction that would be great!  Specifically, we need help choosing a contractor who is experienced in working this type of business and perhaps a real estate agent who has expertise in foreclosures.  Any concrete advice or help would be so greatly appreciated and We thank you so much in advance!
