How long did it take for you to even find your first home to flip ? Just wanna get a perspective of how people have started their home flipping business . Also how did you narrow your search? Did you look around the area you live or branch out?

It took about two years for my brother and I to find the deal we knew we wouldn't lose money on. I wanted a partner I could trust and knew I could split the work with! Since we wanted to buy, flip and rent out near the college campus I was then attending. It went great but we definitely learned a lot along the way about when to hire out help and when it's best to save on labor and learn to do it yourself! We went on to purchase a few more around that same area! We have yet to branch out but are now looking in the Nashville area, about an hour away!
