Hi, my name is Kareem. I'm a beginner in the flipping business and my aspirations is to rebuild blighted in Chicago neighborhoods and abroad. My initial interest is urban planning, but I also like changing the face of distressed communities as well.

Kareem,

Welcome! I wish you the best of luck. If you want to help distressed communities, take a look at Gary, Indiana. I live in Northwest Indiana and Gary is very distressed. You can pick up houses dirt cheap, fix them up and rent them out. By dirt cheap I mean $3-$7,000! Once you begin to get more involved in the business, let me know and I can give you more information on how to go about buying them and working with investors. Good luck!
