[Dustin Cook]

My name is Dustin Cook. I live in Oswego, NY. Small town north of Syracuse. 

I have always wanted to get into real estate investing and have always loved the idea of fix and flip. I am looking to get started soon. I was just wondering what the best way to start for me would be. Should I try to find a partner and split evrything. Should I seek a hard money lender and try to go into it with as little of my own money to start? What is everyone's thoughts on this? If I did go with a hard money lender, how should I go about finding one?
