And that educational out, you know, where you get a degree that offers you upward job mobility, where you move into a big house, and you drive an expensive, late-model car? 

Yes, its all about educating yourself, books, videos, REIA meetups, Bigger Pockets connections and maybe one on one courses to become a house flipper expert.

I know nowadays the rage is all low/no money down deals, and maybe I'm just not educated in that world enough to find the deals and get them done, but quite frankly for me it's been having enough cash in the bank to put down substantial downs that allow for monthly cash flow.2.

Educate yourself.

We have been doing our homework, educating ourselves by reading books and watching educational videos online about how to better structure a company/ies for real estate investing.

Drive around the property and its surrounding area to get a comprehensive understanding of the location.

I highly recommend you educate yourself on how to handle problems before the problem is a problem.

Partner Driven added value to the Gibson St deal by investing $40,000 in comprehensive renovations.

I continue to educate myself every day. 

Connect with like-minded investors, stay educated, and leverage your faith to stay persistent in real estate investing.Good luck!
