After a week of intense study and some great interaction with this community I believe I am ready for the next step. I think I understand the basic mechanics of the fix and flip and now I want to select a market to really understand its ARV and then begin looking for deals. Do you have any advice for selecting a market for a sustainable fix and flip business?

I am thinking of beginning with a low to middle income secondary city in my state with around 100,000 people. What do you think?

Thanks again everyone. Now I don't feel too bad that I spent the majority of the past few days learning about this stuff :)

Congrats! Just listened to #2. Karen was excellent. And doesn't she just sound lovely! Good to know people that nice can achieve that kind of success.

This is the type of position I would love to find... too bad we do not live closer together. I am currently an appraiser and have the ability to do as little or as much work as I want. I would love to do something like this part-time... though my construction knowledge is limited and I would have a learning curve there.

I am in your shoes as well... read J Scott's blog (123flip.com) lots of awesome info.

Thanks guys for the responses. This forum is such a great resource. I look forward to the day when I can contribute more and ask less questions :)

Thanks for the responses! Everything seems very learnable to me although the fear is that I commit time to learning how to do this then there are just no deals. I suppose the key question is, are there always motivated sellers. And I would have to guess the answer is yes. You just need to know how to find them. Is this a correct assumption? Thanks for the handholding fellas!

Hey y'all,
I have been spending alot of time lurking on here, listened to the podcast, and I am now listening to the audio from the BP Summit. I have also read alot of J Scott's 123flip.com and I just ordered Marty Boardman's book. I also plan to start attending investor club meetings and networking events soon. However, I just have a nagging question I need answered: Are flipping and wholesaling viable long term strategies in any market? Or are there periods in market cycles where this work could evaporate for 2-3 years? I can understand a few months slow here and there... but, for example, is this stuff just really hot right now because of the cycle we are currently in...

Maybe I am just being glass half empty but I would love to know if a competent, smart, hard worker with integrity can make money doing this stuff in all market cycles... Any insight from people who have been doing this for a while would be appreciated!

Same here. Really enjoyed it!

I just tried to purchase it but it said "discount code already taken" or something like that. I left it blank.

Any help would be appreciated!
