Ready for my first flip!

Hey guys. This is a shot in the dark however, it never hurts to ask. I am currently a children's book author, a 9 to 5 er, and would love to get into Real Estate Investing. There is something about Flipping homes and Rehab that makes me itch for more. It's R&R for me and I am looking for some guided help.

I wanted to reach out to the BP family as you may already know what steps to take to get started. I'd like to know if you would be willing to help me get started? I am looking for any information you may have like books or websites, or maybe even seminars you'd recommend? How did you get started? Or did you just start? I'd hate to re-invent the wheel if someone as yourself has already been involved and know what works and what doesn't. If you have a moment, please let me know if you would be willing to share the knowledge so that I could also start a new chapter in Real Estate Investment. Thanks BP family, and hope to hear from you soon. 

P.S. I am working with an agent at Keller Williams to help me locate an agent out near me in Ohio that is up to speed with flipping and is in it to help, not for the money.  Has anyone else used this group to seek agents?  If so, how was the experience?  Thanks!


All the best,

-Rick

    @Rick Turmanwelcome to the site. My recommendation is to network and attend local meetups in your area. There will be people in attendance that are doing what you would like to achieve.

    Also there's numerous podcasts on this site, in which you can pull from others experience on fixing&flipping.

    Also shoot me a PM with questions if needed
