Flipping in L.A. at 19 years old with no money......

I’m 19 years old and looking into house flipping. The problem is, I have no money myself, I have no connections to people that would lend me money, and I live in an extremely expensive and competitive area (west Los Angeles) virtually making me feel like I’ll never succeed in any real estate strategy. So the real question I have is where the hell do I start to get the ball rolling?

 Non starter man. You need to have competitive advantages to succeed. I suggest you do some work as an agent to gain some knowledge and experience in the business while earning some money that you can save up. Re evaluate in a few years when you've gained some advantages over your competition.
