We have flipped, have a short term rental, and also buy-and-hold with long term rentals, so I understand what investors are looking for and what makes a deal work.I love helping people find good opportunities, run numbers, and learn the local market.

Flipping is going to be tough in any area where people want to live , and very easy in places they dont .

I used to think the same thing.But after working with a lot of new investors, here’s the pattern I keep seeing:The people who grow the fastest are the ones who get their foundation right before they buy anything.I’m talking about simple stuff like:Opening separate bank accountsKeeping clean records from day oneUnderstanding how income and expenses actually flowGetting a basic system for tracking your numbersYou don’t need to be an expert.

But without people dumb enough to buy it, it wouldn't proliferate. 

Most people don’t lose during the renovation.

I was prepared to offer $15,000-$$20,000 to buy it outright. 

I’m at the point now where I’m ready to start moving on my first real deal and connect with people who’ve been there.

I also tend to over rehab and buy properties above median.

Most people don’t start thinking this way until much later, so keep that momentum going.

You put 4 people in a house that dont know each other and have to get along .
