@Gordon Starr:

Have you ever gone through the Lot Links program, or the Montgomery County Land Bank? What was your experience like? I have been looking into the Land Bank and was just curious how the actual process goes and the end result. I found the costs to be between 2-3k which still isn't bad at all for a house. But I can't afford to tie up that much money for that long not knowing what the result will be.

Wow I didn't expect such a response so quick from people in my area! Thank you all for the feedback. I will definitely read the suggested books. I'm currently working on my credit and finances. I will also look into attending an REIA meeting. I have looked into lot links as well as the Montgomery county land bank foreclosure acquisition program. But being new at this, if I acquire a property that way, then what?... So for now I will keep reading and networking.

Hello, My name is Carmen. I am new to the site. I live in the Dayton, Ohio area but would be willing to travel to Cincinnati if need be. I have 3 small kids, no money, bad credit, but I am determined to flip a house. I stumbled across this site while looking for information. I have no experience in real estate but it's something I've been wanting to do for a long time. Any information anyone can offer a newbie like me will be greatly appreciated!
