My partner is also an agent and he has flipped one house successfully already, and has 5 duplexes buy and hold style currently.We recently bid on a house that was on auction.com and won it.

You will need to repair your credit, clear your bankruptcy and start saving every penny you can.......frugal life style going forward as your life situation improves is mandatory.

My brother and I have went through some classes and seminars which unfortunately does not fit my learning style.

I'm an agent and I remember when I first started, I was with a primarily residential oriented company & I attempted to explain syndications to my broker and he literally said, "I have no idea what you're talking about." haha...

The regional ones are usually more customer oriented.

She even suggested I simply add a smaller unit such as a camper style unit, in the kitchen area.

Nicely styled kitchen!

Everything from lack of patients to work style to damage to your reputation can happen in a short period of time and cost you far more in the long run than a few thousand dollars for an emergency repair.

Without significant cash for PD and reserve funds you will not likely be successful.To qualify as a investor you must have something to invest...cash or experience.Work hard, adopt a frugal life style and save to invest.
