Starting out, green as could be!

[Katie Saleeba]

First post, ready to buy my first fix and flip. Is anyone gracious enough to give me any advice on where to start. Got on the distribution list from a few local wholesaling companies...

Hey Katie, the top two people you need to have on your team starting are your realtor and lender. I know you don't want to pay the extra 3% commission to a realtor, but they can really save you from investing in a below-quality neighborhood and help reduce your days on the market (saving you with financing costs). They are also a really great source of deal flow and a great resource when you are just starting out. 

The second person you need on your team is a lender. Just make sure their products align with your investing strategy, and get a feel for their guidelines so you can edit your boy box with your realtor so you do not waste your time chasing down deals that no lender will touch.
