Best Course or Class to Get Started Flipping Houses?

[Chris Jordison]

Hello everyone!

I'm brand new to the Bigger Pockets forum. My wife and I are looking to start flipping houses in our local area. We live in Southern California, in Orange County. I'll share a bit more information about us below, just for context. 

MY QUESTION...

What have you found to be the best Course or Class to start learning (specifically) how to Flip Houses?

We are not currently interested in buying rental properties locally, due to how crazy tenant laws are in California. We know we can buy rental properties out-of-state but do not want to do that as of right now. 

FURTHER CONTEXT...

I currently run my own handyman business and often take-on projects to rehab bathrooms etc. I know exactly how much it should cost to hire a contractor, for any type of work on a house. This puts us in a good position, in terms of making sure we are not taken advantage of by any contractors. 

My wife is an accountant for a large city out here, in Orange County. She has about 30 years of experience in that field and has previously run all accounting for several small businesses. She is also a licensed tax preparer. That puts us in a good position, in terms of making sure that we have all of our numbers right. 

My son will be helping us with marketing, advertising (if needed), press coverage (if needed) and finding investors / lenders (if needed). He has about 15 years of extensive experience in those fields and has been highly successful in each of them. 

Our financial goals are as follows: Year 1 ($100K in net profit), Year 2 ($250K in net profit), (Year 3 $500,000K in net profit), Year 4 ($1 M in net profit). Right now, we are complete rookies and are looking for the right place to start (in terms of a class or course).
