I’m a general contractor that specializes in cabinetry and finish carpentry. I don’t build cabinets, I actually contract for a couple shops to install their product in mostly new homes and some remodels. I’ve been talking to a close friend of mine about getting into fix and flip homes. Our biggest hurdle is the financing aspect of it and we both know a couple of people locally who may be able to help, BUT we are wanting to start learning as much as possible to turning this idea into a future career as we both like the idea of employment independence as well as financial independence. I think to start when we are able to get our first property we would be doing the labor ourselves of fixing and repairing since I can do it under my contractor license. Ideas on financing would be awesome since I literally don’t know anything!!! If someone has questions regarding my specific trade please don’t hesitate to ask! Thanks everyone! BJ
