Looking for Advice on My First House Flip
Hello, Bigger Pockets family. I am a general contractor looking to do my first flip within the next 4-6 months in Omaha, NE, and eventually transition into a full-time real estate investor. My fiance's dad recently (and thankfully) "forced" me into the real estate investing world by offering to fund a flip 100%! At first, I didn't realize how fortunate I was to have this opportunity presented to me as I just saw it as a big cash loan to buy a house then pay off the same as I would a mortgage. But after talking to my cousin, who is a real estate investor. He helped me realize that this flip could fund my next investment and hopefully gives me a good head start on the rest of my investing life. My first order of business in this project is education. Please feel free to drop any tips, warnings, blogs, or videos that have helped you on your journey to your first flip! I really appreciate any help you can provide.
