High school junior considering real estate after I graduate

Eric Burton
Posted

Hey, I’m a junior in high school with thinking of possibly flipping houses as a living, after I graduate high school. I wouldn’t even know where to start asking questions about how I would even begin this process. I got the idea because my dad was telling me about how before I was born he and my mom flipped the house they lived in at the time and made a ton of money. I like the idea that I’d be taking a lot of risks, and how nothing is guaranteed. Could someone please give me some form of guidance on where to begin? I think this is something I could really get into and would like to have a strong general idea on where to start before I graduate high school which is about a year and a half from now. Thanks in advance for any responses. I know I should be more specific about myself but I don’t know where to start. Please ask any questions. Thanks

Ask your Dad about it. He has at least one flip under his belt. Learn how to do basic repairs, use a tape measure and a saw.
