I work with contractors and independents on a daily basis to help them make it happen! it is important to remember that a great reputation as a "flipper" can lead to constant referral sales, so consistency in your projects is key.

Plus, in my opionion, they represent the least risk in terms of flipping homes. Talk to a local lender and ask specifics about financing, then read up and find a good deal. MLS is a pretty good resource for rehab projects, but for better margins you might try hunting a little more i.e. foreclosure.com. Shameless plug: I'd encourage you to join our community (we just launched this past week:) Cheers, Patrick Flipping Pad Travis,

I have the background and support but not the money to break into "flipping." What's a realistic next step? I’m 19, great credit, and I grew up in construction my whole life.
