Really thought provoking subject, huh?

My husband and I have successfully rehabbed two personal residences, first in Stamford and now in Newtown.  We've been in this one - our "forever" house - about a year, and I'm getting the itch to start another project so I figured it was about time I worked on getting some non HGTV education on the subject of flipping houses so I can rehab for profit instead of personal use (and don't put him in the loony bin).

I come from a design background so I'm curious if anyone has made that transition successfully, and how the budget went on their first project if they did!

Other than that, all the books are on their way to me and I've been working my way through the podcasts - my daughter's second word is going to be "equity" - but would love any other suggestions for helpful materials and I'm looking forward to finally making progress on this goal.

@Kristi Buell, great post! You are definitely doing all the right things to learn to flip homes successfully, but most importantly you are teaching your daughter well. Maybe she can start "crawling for dollars" soon too! :)

Looking forward to seeing you around CT and the forums.
