Hi,My name is Pablo Sanchez, I'm from Chile, Santiago and I'm interested in flipping small single family homes in Santiago.I have zero experience in real estate, however I have a site with estimates of the purchase value in my city (www.ufm2.cl).I'm in a partnership with an ex coworker, and so far we have assembled the team (architect and lawyer) and we have chosen the zone we want to target.I already read the book on flipping houses by J Scott and listen to the bigger pocket podcasts everyweek.My goal is to make at least one flip by october.I think this community is great, but I'd be surprised if I find someone from my Country here =-)Thanks in advance for the help.
