How did you FUND your First Flip?
Did you bunker in with your parents, ate noodles, and lived on a strict budget while you worked & saved up to pay for it all on your own, did you save for a down payment and worked with a lender, did you find a Zero out-of-pocket lender or program? How did you go about funding your first flip?

If I quit that easy I never would have accomplished the businesses I have today!
Did you learn anything from that flip? Perhaps you over paid, took too long to rehab, underestimated rehab, had contractor problems, etc. The key is to learn from those mistakes and how do it again.
