How can a newbie make money in a hot market?

[Patrick Philip]

I live near Orlando. I just read an article that said this is the hottest market in the country for rise in home values. From talking to wholesalers, deals are hard to find. The deals they do have are trading at 85% at times. This also means that margins are relatively slim for rehabbers. I have about $8,500 in the bank, but I possibly have the ability to borrow money from a family member and split the profits.
