I feel that, with a background in art, carpentry, and style and design, I am in a perfect position to begin a career as a home flipper.

Recently, I saw on a news site, the city I want my investing career to begin and thrive in, has hired new people to continue demolishing abandoned and condemned homes.

I just asked a simular question about wholesale in mentors are very expensive and I'm a hands-on kind of person to learn but I have read a lot of books and watch a lot of videos I don't want to sound like a joke I want this to be my life and career any help I would appreciate it and good luck to your success
