But ultimately the responsibility lies in my hands.I jumped on a seesaw of risk hoping that the momentum would catapult my bank account into six figures only to find out the hard way that flipping houses isn’t as easy as I had predicted.This house was purchased for $64,000 with an expected rehab of $100k to $120k depending on how much work the dilapidated and neglected house needed.The midwest is lovely but the houses carry the weight of weather storms nearly a century old leading to more damage than a beginning investor could expect.The appraisal came in at $225k for my lender meaning our all-in cost would be around 85% of the sales price worst case.

Hi Shruti,That sounds like my type of REI investing, feel free to add me to your Network would love to talk shop some time or help in any way.

@Kyle Carter  We love renting to Section 8, however depending on the size of the property you may not be able to realistically rent to 100% section 8.

Love that you're looking in Texas; are you looking in any particular markets?

I'd love to chat. 

I am very interested in real estate investing and flipping (I have a decent amount of construction experience) I was wondering what some good resources are to look at when evaluating a property, especially in the Dayton / Cincinnati area. thank you very much, I would love to connect with them after I do some more research on markets! 

I keep wanting these to work, I really love the idea of this asset class...
