I want to get started in house flipping, help me connect please
Hello,
my name is Ryan and my wife and I own a painting company we started in Austin. We’ve moved to San Antonio and have been extremely business with work. My wife and I are interested in real estate investing and want to start flipping houses and building our portfolio, we know how to do most of the work ourselves but don’t know how to connect with the right investors, banks etc to help us get started, what are the best steps to getting us closer to starting our first house with someone?

Hey Ryan!
I am right up the road in Austin. San Antonio is a great market to flip in as there is no shortage of homes that need to be rehabbed.
Some great people to have in your corner before you get started:
RE Investor Friendly Real Estate Agent
RE Investor Friendly Insurance Agent
RE Investor Friendly Appraiser
RE Investor Friendly Title Company
RE Investor Friendly Lender
The fact that you're in the painting business likely means that you have made good contacts to handle any of the rehab work that a property may require.
Good Luck on your journey!
