House caught on fire

[Jeremy Hostetter]

My goal for 2015 is to land my first deal.  Not necessarily sure which way to go, but I think I had an idea that I'm seeking guidance on.  We were visiting some friends over the weekend, and across the street sits an empty house that caught on fire about a year prior.  I asked my friend what was going on with it, and he said it sat with very little work being done on it.  My questions for BP are:

• Is a house that caught on fire, and very little work being done on it a good start?
• If so, how would I get started?
• Is this a good example of flipping?

Sorry for generic questions, I'm still new enough that I am not fully sure how to get my foot in the door.  Thanks for any feedback!!!!
