First time Flipper/investor

[Ellyn Cook]

Hi All,

I am a Realtor. Been in the business only 6 months but finding success already. I am looking to buy my first condo in November which will also be an investment. I am wanting to live there while I flip it. I can be a minimalist so I have no fear of living through it. I am in Chicago and wanting to start with a condo and focus on cosmetic renovations for my first flip. I have found some properties and ran comps to see what I could resell for. I am new to this but wanted to be in RE investing for years now. Any advice would be much appreciated.
