Hi Ambrea,To get into fix and flips, I started by focusing on a few key steps that helped me find success:Educate Yourself: Learn the market, analyze property values, and understand rehab costs.Build a Network: Connect with real estate agents, contractors, and lenders.Secure Financing: Consider hard money or private loans for quick capital.Find the Right Property: Look for undervalued homes in growing areas.Create a Detailed Plan: Budget carefully and have a clear timeline for renovations.What worked best for me was staying disciplined with my numbers and always having a solid team in place.

@Anastasia MonroTo achieve financial independence in real estate, focus on boosting savings, improving credit, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for properties with high rental demand, researching local laws and regulations, building a team, staying educated, preparing for property maintenance and management, and being patient and persistent.

Over the years we've really enjoyed spending time on Perdido Key and are considering an investment in a condo there. 

With the right project, you can pull out 100% of your equity when refinancing and "repeat" the process.The key is to buy low enough in an area that justifies an ARV that will allow you to pull out all of your cash at a ~70-75% LTV.
