Finding homes to flip

[Alyshan T.]

Hi Everyone!

I am in the very early stages of real estate investment. I am ready for financial freedom and real estate is the route I'd like to take. After taking in a wealth of knowledge from many webinars and blogs from Bigger Pockets I feel that rehab and flipping homes is the investment route that would be most beneficial for me. However, I don't really know where to start and need some advice. I live in Knoxville, TN and I have a hard time finding homes that would yield a return that is worth it. Most homes that I'm finding are either too expensive or dirt cheap but in distressed areas and I'm concerned they may not sale just because it's a rougher neighborhood. If there is anyone in Knoxville that may have some guidance I'd truly appreciate the help. If anyone else outside of Knoxville has any great advice on those first steps I am all ears. Thanks in advance!
