Careful what you wish for
I bought my first flip as an REO for $15,000. After a few months of work it was worth $75,000. While I was excited to leave my job as a Regional Sales Manager for a large Verizon retailer, I realized was that I had just bought myself another job. While I could do most of the work myself, doing so meant I could only do two, maybe three houses per year. Thankfully one of the lessons I had learned from my time helping them grow their company was how I could grow mine. At one point I had two full time crews and six houses going at one time. Having shut that business down and taken some time to work with a new home builder who built 150 houses per year, I'm ready to build something GREAT. Who's in???
