Wow. Thanks everybody. It is honestly surprising to see how helpful people can be especially when it comes to making investments/money.  I was always raised talking about such things was "taboo" and it's just a breath of fresh air to see so many people willing to help others. I'm really excited and nervous to do my first deal. I know the payoff will be great for my family and their futures which is why I want to do this, but it's always scary starting new things.  

I still have some books from bp that I need to get and I hear another great place to start is local REI groups in my area. I need to find some of those too.

I am new to biggerpockets and so far I am loving the wealth of information that is on this site. I have attended a few webinars and those are great as well.

Me and my wife want to start flipping homes but I just don't know where we should start first. Is it better to get your private lenders set up first? Or should you find your contractor first?

Does the order really matter as long as you cover all of your basis?

Any help would be much appreciated.
