Best way to get started flipping houses

[Sam Allen]

Hello all i am new to BP and just had a few questions about getting started in the flipping houses business. i currently have a great job but i want to get into real estate investing and hopefully one day do it full-time so i can be with my family more. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Im not the most book smart person but im highly motivated and im willing to be like a sponge and soak up any information/advice, do's/dont's, ANYTHING to help me out! thank you so much in advance

Sam, 

Curt is definitely right. Getting out there and meeting people is very important. At the same time, educating yourself is very important. I believe the easiest way to learn is through podcasts. You can listen to them anywhere, anytime. I would recommend the BiggerPockets podcasts, or Sean Terry's podcast (flip2freedom)... Both of which can be found on iTunes. These are guys who have tons of experience, and know what it is like to start out.

Good Luck!
