Looking to get started

Hi all, I just joined BP today and am excited to continue learning. I am looking for advice on how to flip houses buying from wholsellers using private money lenders.  If this is a good idea or if there are better ways. Thanks!

Hi @Jayson Magee,

Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! The first step with flipping is to identify the market where you want to invest to make sure it’s viable for your strategy. Connecting with an investor-friendly agent can be really helpful since they can assist in spotting flip opportunities you might not see on your own. Financing is also key, so it’s worth determining which route makes the most sense for you, whether that’s fix-and-flip loans, private money, or another option, since ultimately the numbers are what it all comes down to.
