Flipping Houses

Looking to buy my first flip property, I am down in San Diego and looking around the area. I came across fortune builders and they already have a real estate system in place. I am considering joining up, has anybody heard about them or advice on a program to join?

Hey Tony, I figured I'd weigh in on this one. Fortune builders really do know what they're doing question of doubt. The problem is in their programs that they dish you off to a less than expert person and oftentimes your "coach" is a different person each time you use them. When I first started, I used these kinds of programs and although I did learn a lot, I ended up feeling disappointed in the end.

The other guys responding here are absolutely correct, you're in one of the best places on the Internet to learn about real estate investing. Specifically house flipping. So I'd encourage you to read as much as you can hear but also bear in mind you can certainly will shorten your learning curve by having a personalized coach or even a mentor. I wish I had that when I first started! It certainly would cut down a lot of the mistakes that I learned on my own and grow to save me thousands even though it cost me thousands to go through some of those programs.

Are you I would just search for "how to flip houses" on bigger pockets or even in Google and see what you find out there's lots of great resources out there for sure.
