Help Wanted with House Flipping in Chicago Area

[Zach Taylor]

Hey everyone. I'm looking to get into house flipping and I'm wondering if anyone has some advice on how to get started in the Chicago area. I could also potentially go outside Chicago, like into the suburbs or northern Indiana or southern Wisconsin. I've heard that buying from wholesalers is usually the way to go for a flip, but I'm not sure how to find a wholesaler. I've also heard that I should go with a hard money lender for a flip, but I don't know any hard money lenders either. I also don't know any general contractors. I'm pretty new to this as you can tell, so if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be super helpful!
