Back in the Saddle

What's up guys.  Back in 2014, I flipped my first house in Richmond, Va.  I made $12k, which was good for a 50% cash on cash return on my investment.  As first times go, mistakes were made and lessons were learned, and I've taken a couple of years to think about what I can do better next time and if this whole real estate investing is really what I wanted to do.

Since then I've done a lot more reading and homework and I'm ready to jump back in with both feet.  I recently moved to Virginia Beach, Va and would love to partner with other investors in the southside Hampton Roads (VB, Norfolk, Chesapeake) region to really learn the market.  While one flip doesn't make me a pro, it does give me experience to add a lot of value to a partner in a number of ways.

I'm excited to get back to it and jump back in the BP community.

welcome to BP! I am in the Hampton Roads area. Lots of potential. What was one of the biggest mistakes that you made with your first flip?
