Good Afternoon BP,

How did you get started flipping and rehabbing homes? What got you started? 

How have you progressed from your first flip to your current project?

How did you get started flipping and rehabbing homes? What got you started? - I bought a turn key single family house from a house flipper as a house hack. After moving in I realized that when the house flipper sold me the home, they probably made like $30,000 for just a few months of work. At the time I thought I wanted to get right into buying rentals but became motivated to use house flipping as a way to build capital to buy rentals.

How have you progressed from your first flip to your current project? - After flipping a few homes I was hooked on taking old ugly 60 year old houses and making them awesome again. As a house flipper you are improving neighborhoods, creating jobs, building teams, and making money. It's a rewarding line of work. My current projects are much bigger than my first flip. And I now hire designers and and more skilled contractors to do the work.
