New to the Real estate game

[Brian King]

Hello everybody!  I have been binge listening to The Bigger Pockets podcast for the past few months and have learned a lot so far.  I currently have a lawn care business that I run myself.   I am wanting to get into fix and flips and eventually long term rentals.  The goal is to slowly build a real estate portfolio and get to a point that I can eventually sale my business.  I am also studying to get my real estate license and anticipate sitting for the exam at the end of February.

Hey @Brian King, welcome to the BP Forum! What type of properties are you looking to acquire for your fix/flips? And how much rehab are you willing to do?

 Good evening Jayce.  Here in Louisville I am looking in C to C- areas. For fix and flips I want to stay away from total rehabs and focus on properties that need minor work such as kitchen, bathroom, paint, outdoor improvements, etc.  Eventually I want to get into single family and multi family rentals.

As far as effort or work on the fixers;  my brother in law is quite handy and my next door neighbor has said he would help in anything that is out of my scope of expertise.  I am not allergic to doing work as I have a lawn care business which is labor intensive.
