3 YEARS since last post. 20+ Flips later, here's an update...

Boy, time flies! It was just a few short years ago I was reaching out to flippers, asking as many questions as I could until I ran out of questions to ask! I've been in business rehabbing single family houses in central CT for the past 2.5 years and have had some great success due in part to Biggerpockets.com and everyone who helped along the way. 

This week I accepted an offer on my 20th flip. We just took photos of another finished project that I plan on listing tomorrow. I'll be wrapping up another one in the next week or two and have a HUD property under deposit and scheduled to close in 2 weeks. It's been a fun ride to say the least!

I took a job my first year managing a 300 apartment community knowing that I'd be getting into apartment buildings sooner or later. The experience was tremendous. Stressful at times yet a phenomenal education that I've been able to leverage when raising private funds from investors. 

For anyone starting out and looking for some inspiration, the age old adage "If I can do it, so can you" applies here. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can only hope to give back as much value as I received from this site not too long ago. 

Best wishes!

Congrats @Taylor Shapiro!!! How do you manage more than 1 project at a time.  What type of lenders do you use?

I'm working on my first flip after 12 yrs as an Investor.  Luv it!!!  I started with rentals then selling TK. In 2016, I got my RE license in AL and GA and its been Great! I've helped so many. 😀 I'm the QWNBEE of RE!!! Of course, I'm always learning. I'm interested in doing 3 flips a month.
