House Flipping in Phoenix

[Carson Bode]

Hello everyone, I'm a college student in Phoenix and I have a little cash saved up. I am wondering if flipping a cheap house is an idea worth pursuing. Is the market too hot? I have a buddy who is a Realtor, and we both want to get into the game, but not sure if Flipping, BRRRR, or Buy and Hold is the the best method. Also not sure if we should do a hard money loan for the flip or if there is a better option. All help is appreciated. Thank you!
