First Flip Success

My wife and I just completed our first flip! It took about 7 months to flip which was much longer then it should have but we have learned so much about the entire process. The most exciting part of it was that it went Under Contract in 3 days! That is extremely fast for my area. We received tons of positive feedback from everyone that showed/viewed it! We should profit approximately $20,000+ 

The experience was tough and not easy but it's so fulfilling to have the success now on our resume and in our portfolio. I know that there are tons of folks out there that have "analysis paralysis" but I want to push you to get out there and DO IT!! It's great to profit but the knowledge that you will acquire by jumping into it is priceless! Find the right deal at the right price and that will give you enough cushion for the mistakes. 

Stay tuned for future post and I will provide more details, numbers, and pictures once I have the numbers finalized.
