Sean,

Welcome to BP.  I agree with Connie and Paul that J. Scott's books on flipping real estate and estimating rehab costs are excellent reads. My wife and I are also in the Dayton area (Springboro) and are looking to be added to buyers list.  We have teamed up with a partner and are looking to do our first flip. I would like to be added to your buyers list and see what off market properties you have access. 

Best of luck in your future RE endeavors.

Jon Baker

Welcome to BP Tom Moser,

I am also new to REI and have found a tremendous amount of great information here on BP, especially the podcasts. I am located just a little south of you in Springboro and I am also a mechanical engineer. I graduated from the University of Dayton. It sounds like you are heading in the right direction with the purchase of your first property. Hope everything works out for you.

Hello everyone, my name is Jon Baker.  My wife (Amy) and I are new to real estate investing.  I have been browsing the BP forums and have been listening to the podcasts for the last couple weeks now and am amazed at how much I am learning. This website is amazing.  The podcasts alone have really inspired me to take action.  My wife and I are currently looking at a possible flip in our area with our realtor as a partner (more details to come).  Our goals as future investors would be to try a few flips to learn more about rehabbing and estimating costs and then transition into buy and hold to build some positive cash flow.  I am eager to learn as much as possible and to grow as an investor and look forward to chatting with everyone at BP.
