Stressed out …New to this

[Christie Hewitt]

Brought up by a father who owned his own construction business my entire life, I know the trade well. I've been in corporate by entire career. Now that I'm divorced I get to do what I want which is flipping houses and I'm trying to leave the corporate world and do this full-time. I've looked into tax foreclosure, mortgage foreclosure (sheriff sales) and buying properties that are listed on MLS to flip. It seems that someone else got to it before I did or it's overpriced, and I can't make a profit if I flip it. my goal of flipping 3-10 this year is dwindling and I don't know how to find the "off market" properties being a small fish in a big pond. Is there hope for anything with meat on the bones right now? Should I throw in the towel after one successful flip and stick to my day job?
