Any guidance for someone just starting or wanting to invest/flip?

[Joseph S Stevens II]

I just received a loan from a family member and I’m looking to acquire and invest in my first flip. I’d like to use hard money to acquire the property, and use the money I received from the loan, to renovate the property. I am a contractor/electrician by trade. I’m hoping that I can use those skills to optimize my bottom line. I’m looking for some beginner advice.
