We have over $100000 equity in the home and a HELOC to access it, but really no other savings.There is definitely a sellers market going on here in Washington and it’s growing.My husband and I have 2 kids and we will have to find jobs as well as housing back east, but can stay with family, initially.

I have a contractor that is doing a $35,000 roofing and siding job on one of my rentals.

I just got a job as a financial analyst for the investment team at a commercial real estate management company.

Meant gut job not guy job.

My wife and I are wanting to get started in real estate as a means to get me out of my job so we I can be around the 9 month old more!

Unless you have a six-figure job, great credit, and thousands already in savings, you too will have to plan and prepare. 

Many work for a big name company and do smaller contract jobs in the side with their skills.

Are you one of the lucky ones that has left their W2 job?

Hi Ben,Congratulations on graduating college with savings, and having a nice paying job lined up.If you are serious about starting a fix and flip business with your friend, I would seriously consider talking to both a CPA and an attorney. 

I currently have a annual income of $80-$90k job, but I don't want to work 9-5 till retirement..
