The house had some old cast iron piping and older electrical panels and distribution.

Start with a smaller project on my own (300-400 total cost with 450-500 ARV)- I would need to learn new markets and manage the risk of rehab on my own (I can borrow my friends contractor so this may not be as bad of an issue) - There's more competition at that price point- I would be able to start and finish quicker (hopefully) and get actual flip experience under my beltI'm currently casting a wide net for deals at both price points and I'm very eager to get started (I've committed to doing real estate full time).

If still too expense or doesn't cast a net you like, go with places that you like, you have been to or heard of.

Keep doing what is working AND expand your sphere of influence while you cast your vision to potential partners.

We did a full normal cosmetic flip on this one, then on top of that we replaced the cast iron sewer line with PVC, replaced all windows, and rebuilt the back bathroom that was damaged by 5+ years of the roof leaking.What was the outcome?

My home was built in 1890 (I live in Indiana) an with mostly original cast iron pipes, I have no issues with freezing, whereas during the recent cold spell, I knew several people with newer homes who had pipe issues.

I recently drove home to visit my parents in Virginia (6.5 hours each way) and listened to pod casts the whole time!

Thank you all for welcoming me, I look forward to listening to the pod cast to get more educated on what's new, what's old and what's works today, I know a lot has changed in the last 4-5 years, with the housing market, even in a good market for homebuyers, I need to be more sharp on what applications and techniques work, I also have a question is it better to be a realtor in the investing segment of real estate?

I have been listening to the pod cast for the past few months.

So you should cast a slightly wider net when looking at employment opportunities around a given property as your rental demand may actually be coming from slightly further afield depending on the specific geography of your market.When it comes to flipping, you're probably looking to sell to an owner-occupant rather than another investor, which means certain things become even more important.
