Newbie Flipping in Dallas/Fort Worth

[Blake Watkins]

Hey everyone,

My name is Blake. I'm brand new to this site and will start flipping homes in the DFW metroplex very soon. I want to make sure I don't make a bad decision with my first purchase and would even be interested in partnering if someone is interested in doing so. Is there anyone on here familiar with the area that can give me some advice? Any tips from veterans in the community that I need to know to help me in my journey? Just a little nervous since I'm new to this but definitely ready.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Blake Watkins
