good luck! im in the same boat down here on the coast! 

Welcome! I'm new to the business and my wife is also a teacher in south Alabama. After my first post I was contacted by 3-4 other flippers in my area and have since met with a few of them. Networking seems to be a huge factor in this business so I would suggest finding people already successfully flipping in your area their insight will be invaluable. Good luck!

@Matt Robinson 

Thanks for the encouragement! I believe what you say to be true and was already focused on making it happen. I have faced the same negativity in my current field and have consistently destroyed my competition year after year. Just a little concern in an industry I know nothing about so thanks again for your support I hope we can do business one day!

@Lee Waldrop thanks the the advice I will pm you maybe we can meet up one day when you have a few minutes available 

@Jared Irby I am out of town all that week when is the next meeting?

I was just told by my realtor that flipping without 100% cash was impossible in my area. He said there is not enough REO inventory and too many flippers. He tried to talk me into looking at some but and holds because the rental market is "red hot". I have no reason not to trust him but I am wondering what others think. Is it possible that the market in south Alabama is that saturated with investors????
