Hi all and thanks for checking out my post. I'm 27 and have been interested in RE for about a year, and within the last few months I have been cracking down on my education. I am interested in fix and flips and have been trying to analyze some deals on Zillow , Redfin , etc etc as well as foreclosure listings.  I want to rehab a distressed property or take over a distressed owners home so my studying has been revolving around everything I need for this route. my plan is to use  hard money lenders until I build up my business and in the future seek other options.

I live in Marlboro New Jersey which is a middle to upper class area and hope to purchase something here or my neighboring towns.... since its a desirable location. 

me and my wife are both small business owners and while we love our careers, we have both expressed to each other the longevity and quality of the life we want. she has been supportive of the new adventure, and I think after a few good deals (and hopefully minimum bad ones!) we can slowly transition our lives. 

thanks again to anybody that stopped to read my rant and please bless me with any knowledge or tips! I have been listening too BP podcast during work as well as reading the threads in the evenings and loving all the knowledge.
