Jumping in and excited to be in the market again

I’m Dana and am excited to start doing some small scale flips this year. I was a flipper in 2001 and did really well until I fell in love with this big country property on a river up north. I was envious of a friends big gorgeous fixers in Arkansas, and I reacted by over-renovating, holding on too long, getting over-leveraged and then 2008 happened and…well enough said. It left me spooked about the risks and also kind of killed my confidence. But I said at the time that one day I’ll be in a position to take advantage of dropping prices, and I think this is the time. I think I’ll start in Sacramento since I know that market pretty well. Ready to soak up some good lessons from y’all and not repeat my past mistakes.
