Where to focus time, energy, and money?

[Brandon Trafford]

Hello BP,

Once I graduate college in about 6 months, I am planning on buying my first SFH or Duplex to house hack and flip at the same time. I have worked as a painting contractor for about 4 years and have basic knowledge about carpentry, landscaping, as well as some standard contractor skills.

My question to you today, is what should I look for in acquiring a home to flip ( how do I make sure its not a money pit), but also where should I focus my time, energy, and money, to maximize the profits? Should I focus on landscaping? Should I focus on making a beautiful kitchen? Any advise is helpful.

Thanks,

Brandon
