Newbie and held back by fear

[Ida Lyons]

Hi Community,

I am a 55 year old that is looking to learn how to buy and flip homes in the Bay Area.

I have read and read and re-read, viewed videos and learned about funding, now I believe that I am ready to make a deal, but would feel better if I knew where to look.

I am open to suggestions on where to start ☺

@Ida Lyons by reaching out this community you are moving in the right direction.  Where you look really depends on the time and skills you have.  This in and of itself is a very long and complicated discussion.  Much of this you can find through the search function.  Are you thinking local, out of city (driving range), out of state...

There are many experienced local people in the Bay Area that are very generous with their time and knowledge.  You should definitely consider going to the Summit next month that will be hosted by @J. Martin.  This event is going to be in Oakland, so no excuses for you...hahaha.

There is a fee, but the line up is VERY strong.  If you are feeling overwhelmed this is the place to start getting some direction.  Just remember, everything does not have to be perfect for you to start.  Just take things one step at a time, learn, make a plan and proceed.

Good luck to you,
