Hey everyone! My name is Chris Lightner. I have decided to try my hand at flipping houses in my local area as of about a week ago. I have been reading constantly over the last few days to the point my head feels like it is going to pop! There is a lot of good information on here. I am trying to learn the ins and outs of the whole thing and any guidance or war stories would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome J. I hope to become a fix and hold investor eventually, but my cash-flow requirements and capital availability won't allow me to do that quite yet.

Hey Chris, welcome! I'm in the same boat. Reading a ton and soaking up knowledge while I also study for my real estate exam. I'm in VB as well, we should connect with one another. I'm born and raised here.
