Lexington has some interesting geographic and economic aspects to it that make it a great place to buy.

@Kasan Kelley Ive always had a love for Real estate as well i went to a Vocational high school and my major was carpentry so i have a small background in the construction aspect of real estate but just like you said i was always one of the ones that thought it takes money to make money as well lol.

I hope to learn all aspects of real estate, but my main focus is wholesaling. 

Commercial loans use the similar underwriting but add aspects of management's abilities, time in business, capital reserves, net worth, income and proforma (future estimates of income), business credit, along with anything else they may view as a risk to their loan. 

I would say get involved in some aspect of real estate though, local meetups, read through the BP books and look for a house hack.  

Our goal is to increase our net worth, to help supplement retirement income down the road and to currently provide a stream of cash flow to enjoy some of the finer things in life.We both work full time in professional careers and have so far found a way to manage careers and the real estate business while keeping up with two kids (15 yrs & 20 Yrs old).  

Hey guys,I am looking at getting a jump start into the flipping and the low money down aspect of real estate.

I don't know if you are interested in wholesaling or some other aspect of real estate, but in any case, my suggestion is a good one.

Currently I am looking to gain real life experience in the wholesaling aspect to build capital but any good business man or woman knows you can never learn enough.

As a goal I want to focus on flipping and rehabbing, but am open to all aspects of learning.
