Any tips for a beginner
Looking to do my first flip in the next couple months! Would like some tips.
Where do I find deals?
How do I structure the deals?
Does cost of materials come from loan?
I have been doing remodeling for years and plan on doing all the work, is there some rule that requires me to use a contractor or something like that?
Anything else you think would be helpful or you with you knew when you were a newbie?
Thanks I appreciate any feedback!!
