House Flipper and Touring Musician from Minneapolis, MN

[Jesse Lynch]

Hello!

Just an introduction.  My name is Jesse Lynch.  So far, I've flipped two houses in the South Minneapolis area.  They were "live-in" flips, both of which profited around 20k after realtor fees, closing costs, etc.  With no employment history in construction, I did most of the work myself, all of the design, self-staged, and learned mostly everything from books and the internet.  Naturally, I find I much prefer the design and planning to all of the manual labor.

Here is a B&A of the kitchen in my most recent flip:

I sing, play piano and write guitar in a signed, touring indie band, and I'm aware that 99% of my real estate peers are not at all impressed by my career in music, which does not generate any substantial income and causes me to live in a van for half of the year with 5 other guys.  It is, however, what I love to do, it's allowed me more life experience than most people my age, and is a huge factor in why I find real estate attractive.

Here is a B&A from my first flip:

I find the Detroit market extra fascinating, and I want to get my rental property feet wet while the town is still in repair.  I can also acknowledge that this is not a popular opinion, especially on the podcast, but still, I like a challenge.

Thanks for your time, new comrades.  I look forward to meeting you.
