My first flip plan.

[Jodie Sherwood]

Hello everyone, I am a real estate agent (very new) and want to invest in properties as well and learn to be an agent! I have an idea that I want to buy a house and live in it for two years and update it and then flip it after. I am 26 with a five month old, no income, full time school. My fiancé has an income as a bartender. I was wondering if this is a good idea to move into a home (trying to find zero down) and then flip it. We pay rent of 1800 right now anyways so I figured paying a lower mortgage could help also. Any advice helps! Again I am very new to this even though I have my license.

I would suggest looking for a multi-unit, like a duplex/tri-plex/four plex. Could live in one unit and rent out the others. A great way to invest in real estate and earn cash flow, while minimizing living expenses.
