I am interested in starting out with the fix & flip and BRRRR methods in the middle Georgia area.

I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.

If it is decent quality then I would keep the carpet in place and see how it wears.

These methods help you find owners who might sell but haven't listed their properties yet.Advantages: Owners might not consider selling until you make an attractive offer.

Also, brand suggestions for quality?

I'm a pay for quality kinda guy. 

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I read Chad Carson's Small and Mighty Real Estate Investing and I think my path is most aligned with what he calls the "live and fix" method.

Now he says he is negotiating nationwide deals on materials that are priced so low the quality is non existent.

We all have our own methods, and that is what makes us all unique.
