Starting out in Real Estate investment and Flipping

[Griffin Ahmet]

I’m looking to start off my life in Real Estate investment and have been researching the idea of fix & flips for the past couple months. I’ve been spending a lot of time on Bigger Pockets and reading articles to prepare myself before I begin - but I’m at the moment where I feel I am in a great spot to start.

I’m interested in finding a fix & flip property in the Metro Detroit area that might offer a good opportunity.

Any tips, tricks, or advice for a beginning flipper?

Hey Griffin, I would start with something either turnkey or light value-add, so you can start forming your boots on the ground team with less pressure and risk. Once you feel you've built a strong team with your first property and have solid systems in place, I would then start buying more aggressively and taking on bigger projects.

I suggest reading this BP article on the core 4.
