Real estate Investing

[Summer Michelle Degree]

Hi, I’m new to BPs! I’m highly interested in becoming educated in real estate investment and I would like to buy&flip /rent out properties. I have been doing extensive research to learn the basics but just not sure where to start or the “right approach” to take. 

Should I use my own credit for financing through a bank or should I get a HML or investor?!.. I have a background in marketing and sales and I feel as if the sky is the limit whenever I get started in the right direction.

I am in the Charlotte, NC area and would love some advice or pointers for someone new to this business. 

Thanks!
