Let me first off by saying I'm glad that I've found this website by the help of a friend.

My name is Darren and I'm currently 28 years old. 

I'm new to this and i want to make a career out of this. I love reading the success stories and love the ideology of being financially free and working for myself. With that being said i would love to hear from you guys on how to take my first step. I have roughly 10k to start off with and my credit level is pretty good . I want to get into flipping houses and my ten year goal is to have about twenty house for rent. I would love to start by flipping houses and eventually get to renting commercial lots. So if anybody would like to help me get my career kick started please feel free to provide me with any input at all. Thank you kindly, look forward to sharing my success story with you guys in the future.

@Darren Sooknanan 

1. find a flipper you admire in your market

2. invest in their next deal

3. as a part of your investment, ask if you can be on site as much as possible to learn the finance and rehab business while you are invested...pretty much be a mentee or intern.

All the best
