@Victoria DeCristoforo That's great!  Try to network with local Philly investors, and make sure to post the names of the citiies you are working in so the investors around there get keyword alerts.  I think there are a decent amount of duplexes in Philly, depending on the neighborhood.  Best of luck, & welcome!

@Derek T. That's nice work man!  Did you work with these contractors before?  I have been in the position of having to switch/fire contractors in the beginning, and unless you have a nice backup, it can be tricky to recover into people you can trust.  Just curious why you fired & how you rehired.  Very nice work my man.  Do you have any more pics of this?

The J Scott Books you can download for free under the Resources tab. I remember reading 'Flip' by Rick Villani/Gary Keller, i think, but it was a little outdated in 2007.

Welcome @Michael Sullivan. As ive advised a couple other new people from chicago, many investors there start out in Milwaukee. A lot more deals, cheaper, stable market to find flips and rentals.  Just FYI, maybe some investors in the Milwaukee area could be of help.  Glad to have you on board man

The MLS will always have updated data, and as others have stated, within 3 months is always better than last 6, 12, etc. Try to keep the type of home, neighborhood (subdivision) & square footage within proximity.

Nice work @Joseph Stricker! Just make sure to note the cities you are interested in when posting so the people who invest & work around there get the keyword alerts.  Exciting times man.. glad to have you aboard.

When you post on BP you will find that there are alot of more seasoned investors willing to help out.  Make sure you include the cities you are interested in investing in your posts so people receive those keyword alerts and interact with you!

@Troy Sheets I just started doing the same thing.  & Yes, very inspired by J's work.  I havent had much of a chance to update my website recently, but let me know what you think.  FlipJL.com  .. Thanks!  

Exactly.. people arent getting the returns they like anymore in the stock market and they would rather get a guaranteed 10% return on hard money loans, even if its over the course of a year. @Michael Bradford

Great work @Troy Sheets! Have you blogged about your flipping before this?
