I chose flipping a property as my first RE investing endeavor. I am ready to do my first flip. The only thing missing is a contractor I can trust, or a few. I am confident I can get a good deal and come up with a very accurate ARV estimate, just not the repair estimates or the repairs. I wish... I also don't know many people in the area. I would consider a collaboration with a more experienced investor or a person with any kind of resources available, even if it is just their pure ambition :) I think that is a great asset in the world where an average person would rather complain constantly than change something about their life.
