I agree with much of what is said by the posts earlier. 

I've also seen a lot of flips in the Kensington area with large margins but like Igor said, it  is very important to be cautious. A drive around the area of a property that you're interested in is the easiest way to get a quick picture.

Thank you Matt for this post!

This is a great post!

@Victor Barboza, if you do not have a lot of money to market, I would also suggest driving for dollars to build up your list. Driving for dollars is a great strategy because it'll help you learn your market and also build a unique list.

But I totally agree. Just starting is the best step. You will find your way! 

Good luck

@Natalie Lehmann 
Great stuff to hear! Good luck Natalie! I'm also a beginner as well and I've actually gotten an internship with a fairly successful investor in my area. I'm young so I have the luxury to do that, but maybe you can see who you can learn from as well! 

I'm always excited to see new investors like me!!!!

This is an interesting post. Thanks @Brent Coombs!

I am a beginner and I was also strongly considering between either a BRRR or Flip after I build up enough reserves to do so. I do see how the partnership is essential to you because of your work situation and the family.

How I interpreted this was that from the investors I talked to, pretty much all investors know what a flip is, but a substantial amount still don't know about the specifically BiggerPockets-coined BRRR technique. However most investors would definitely get it with a little explaining. I think the communication issue there is what makes a partnership more difficult, but I may be wrong.

Good luck to you Chris!! 

Hope to see great results with this investment property, and if not I'll know you'll learn a lot.

@Juan Davila! Inspring stuff, cool to see you taking action. 

How did purchasing your first investment property go? Did you have trouble in the process? 

Looking forward to seeing you around Juan!

@Jim Kennedy Great post and I really appreciate the value you shared. You've definitely changed my mind about renting.

Do you anything about the suburbs/counties surrounding Philly? Would you say it's a similar story? 

Again, I have to thank you for the post because I really learned a lot!

Great post @Joseph Scorese

Real value in this post even for a Philadelphian like myself.
