New flipping hopeful in New York

[Scott Schreiber]

Hi all,

I'm 28 and a law school grad. I've been working temp law jobs, mostly in real estate, for the past 2 years, but for the last 10 years, I've been interested in flipping houses. Well, despite having a wife and child, I'm seriously considering giving it a go now. I've got enough home improvement/construction experience to be able to do most of a flip, and I know enough to know when I don't know enough and will have to hire an expert.

I'm looking forward to getting more involved in the community, and to learning a lot from this great site!

Best wishes,

Scott

Welcome! The westchester market is very hot right now- I've seen a number of properties and before I even run the numbers they are in contract. Be aggressive but make sure the numbers make sense. Keep in mind a lot of older homes here in westchester with outdated plumbing and electrical work and plaster walls. Best of luck!
