Newbie here from Jacksonville Fl. Advice needed!

[Jessie Hillard]

Hi! My name is Jessie and I and a newbie to real estate and investing. I would like to get my feet wet in the business and learn the in's and outs from the pros. I do not know where to begin. I have funds to invest and had originally thought about trying to flip a house. I look for homes al the time but it doesn't seem like there is that much of a profit margin. I also would like to learn how people buy homes for so cheap. I live in St. John's county and do not look for anything here.  Usually look in the 32256, 32258 and other zips. Please any advice would be amazing. Just trying to start out and connect with those who have been in the business. Thank you in advance.
