Good morning BP associates. I am poised and ready to go. I am interested in fix and flip. I am in a good financial position and have construction experience and have been studying for the last year. I am in the Dallas Texas market. Last week our neighbor was telling my wife that "her nephew" tried flipping and he is a "real gogetter" but he was unsuccessful because the "big boys" have the market all sewed up.

I don't know all the details about the "nephew", but I have always believed that one makes their own opportunities no matter the market.

I guess what I am looking for are examples/input from some of the smaller flippers in a hot market to confirm that there is enough work for everyone, especially those who are willing to hustle.
