I have been spending countless hours learning about REI and house flipping through books, videos, and of course BiggerPockets forums and podcasts.

Determined to save commissions by cutting out the licensed broker, or using them to get what they want and no more, countless would be investors accomplish not much more than accumulate stacks of workbooks, cost sheets, strategies and credit card debt with no assets to show, head in hand, tail tucked. 

@Greg ZunichWell, I have experience house hacking and although I haven't done a live-in flip, I have done countless flips and a live-in rehab.

Over the course of the last year I have become increasingly interested in real estate and I have done countless hours of personal research but I have no certifiable qualifications for the world of real estate.

It seems if I am sending less than five thousand a month every month for countless months it wouldn't work... is that the case?

Thanks Michael - I appreciate it - glad to be here after watching countless Bigger Pockets YouTube videos.

It has saved me a lot of time and countless dollars too !!

I've read a few real estate books and watched countless BP podcasts.

We've read several books and watched countless hours of flipping shows but have never found an answer to this question.  

Yup you bet I've cried, spent countless hours screaming at a wall, passed out from exhaustion, and lost control of my emotions many times.
