Travis, that’s one wild initiation into real estate, but it sounds like you handled it like a pro. Most people would’ve thrown in the towel, but you pushed through, learned the ropes under fire, and still came out ahead. That resilience is everything in this game. With your flooring background and a solid GC connection, you’re positioned to do serious damage in the DFW market. Glad you caught the bug, you're definitely built for this. Happy to connect!

Congrats, Bernz! Getting that first fix and flip done, especially with just 10% down is a huge milestone. Unforeseen repairs are part of the game, and like you said, every project is tuition in this business. Sounds like you’ve got the right mindset and some strong mentors behind you. Keep pushing, and thanks for being here to support others too. Feel free to reach out for help or advice anytime!

Welcome, Sonia! House hacking is a smart entry into LA real estate. Focus on small multifamily properties where rental income can cover your mortgage. Know the local landlord-tenant laws they're strict in LA. Run your numbers carefully, and surround yourself with experienced pros. You’re off to a great start! Happy to connect and support you on your journey!

Congrats on wanting to take action so early, that drive is huge. With $13K, it'll be tough to take on a full flip by yourself, since most rehabs need more cushion for surprises. Many investors in your spot start smaller : mobile homes, wholesaling, or partnering with family and friends, just to build capital and experience before jumping into bigger flips. The key is to treat even the first deal like a business: know your numbers, protect your reserves, and don't rush into something that could sink you before you start. Happy to connect and help you on your REI journey!

Excited to see how you get started, feel free to reach out anytime for help!

Hi Brian, I'd be happy to help. Feel free to reach out any time for more information.

@Andy Sabisch @Sultan Ali Totally get the caution, but from what I’ve seen, 100% financing can actually work well, even on a first flip, if it’s treated like a real business. When the numbers pencil out and there’s some experience or support behind the scenes, it’s not about risk, it’s about momentum. A lot of savvy investors use it to scale fast without locking up their own cash.

When you picture your very first investment, do you see yourself starting small with one unit, or jumping straight into a multifamily or flip?

When chasing larger properties, do you use bridge financing to move fast, or wait until long-term financing is lined up?
