starting out in Iowa

[Jesse Carlson]

Hey everyone. I'm starting out in my local area looking to flip, buy and hold and BRRR. My goal starting out is to flip a couple houses to be able to raise capital to have a cushion for when I BRRR and buy and hold. I have very little saved up right now. My goal for this year is to have 1-2 multi- family units that I hold onto for passive income. I'm not only looking for investors but i'm also looking to network and build a team. Do I find an agent first, an attourney etc..?

Can i handle rehabbing? Probably. I'm pretty handy and I work in the electrical trade. I would probably hire out a bunch of the rehabbing work to save time on flips, especially if it needs a lot of work. 

What has worked for some people and what hasn't? I'm interested in what everyone's input.

Thanks.

Welcome! Glad to see more people in the Iowa City area getting on BP. I would enjoy chatting with another local investor and give you some great contacts I've made in the area. Let me know!
