New Member from CA, but on the move!
Hi there!
My name is Sonja and I am hoping to start flipping houses in the next few months! I have a background in interior design and have been dreaming of starting this career for some time. I am researching Denver, Dallas, and Raleigh as possible areas to flip in because my home state (CA) is too pricey for my starting price point.
I'd love to hear from you if you have any advice or insight about the investing markets (both buying/selling and buying/holding) in Denver, Dallas, or Raleigh. I am also open to investing in Reno, or CA if I could find deals in my price range.
Can't wait to get to know all of you!

To find off market deals go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers. Call 5 ask them what they see expenses running per category per unit. What do they see them selling for per unit, what is the market occupancy rate. What are the market rents? Ask them if they know anything coming up for sale. Great way to pick up some good info and possibly a deal.
You can also search NARPM.org for the RMP (Residential Management Professional) and MPM (Master Property Manager) certified.
Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com You can network via phone till you get there.
