How did you find your business partner?

[Kay M]

Hello,

I want to start buying and flipping houses in Los Angeles. I currently am in school pursuing a degree in business. I have been doing extensive research on house flipping, but I'm a college student no credit or money. Although I feel that this is my calling, where do I start? where do I get the funds knowing I have no money saved? I was thinking of finding a partner to fund the projects, while I do most of all the work but where do I find such a partner? If you are in the house flipping business with a partner that finds everything, where did you find your partner?

Hi Kay and welcome to the forums. I would start by downloading the back catalog of BiggerPockets' podcasts. There are tons of interviews with real-life success stories from the forums here on topics that will critical in getting started. Everything from deep dives into the economics of flipping to creative financing and getting started with none of your own money.

Also, dig around this forum. There are tons of knowledgeable investors on BP that have done it all and many from a starting position just like yours. 

Best of luck in finding your own path. You've made a great start by joining the BP community.
