Hi Everyone!

My name is Newt, and I currently reside in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm fairly new to the real estate business and investing, but I'm particularly interested in flipping houses. I do have a full-time job, but I'm hoping to find some colleagues to learn, grow, and work with on the side. I do not own any properties at the moment, but I am working with a real estate agent to explore some potential fixer uppers. For the vets out there, what advice/warnings would you give for those interested in flipping (particularly for the state of Pennsylvania)? 

Pleasure meeting you all!

Welcome to BP!

Do you have any renovation experience to apply to flipping?  If you don't, or you have very little, you may consider partnering with a contractor to get your feet wet.  That way, you won't be in way over your head trying to youtube the answer to every question.

Then you can focus on finding a hard-working, trustworthy contractor with whom to partner.

This will be an especially attractive proposition to a contractor if you have cash or the ability to obtain the financing to get the deal started.
