New to real estate - looking into fix and flip

[Ryan Engels]

Hey There!

I am new to real estate investing, and looking for advice on getting into it. I am interested in fix and flip, because I work for a flooring company (we also are the general contractor for many projects), and I have access to many skilled people, products, and I have some skills myself that relate to rehabing a property. I have toured 3 houses, ran numbers on what I think it will cost to renovate, and what I think the after repair value will be. Granted, this is rough numbers guided by no experience on the matter, but I do have a realistic idea of what things will cost. I have access to get flooring at close to no cost, countertops for half (if not less), cabinets discounted, and tile at/or below cost. I have only looked for properties that are listed on Redfin, and I feel like I am missing the good deals. I believe I know the market of my area fairly well, and have narrowed my ideal area to invest in, but I feel lost and don't have clear guidance. 

I am open to any thoughts and suggestions. I love the idea of anything real estate, but haven't had a clear direction of which route to pursue.

Thanks for the help!
