Beginning Strategy, Please Advise

[Brian Udall]

Hey everyone,

New to the forum. Happy to be here!

I'm just starting out in REI and wanted to run my tentative game plan by you all to get some feedback.

I've got some money saved up and could probably borrow some money from family if I needed to get going. My plan is to flip homes and/or apartments. It seems like the housing market is going to cool off over the next year so my plan is to prepare myself for my first investment during the dip.

My question to you all would be, what is the best use of my time leading up to that? Would it be best spent getting a realtors license, getting a working knowledge of residential construction so I can do most of the remodeling, or some other option I haven't thought of?

Thanks for the advice!

Pick up both books by J Scott - The Book on Flipping Houses and Estimating Rehab Costs. They both are really great!
