Funny how opposing viewpoints are financially driven :)Im a real estate agent who self-manages, so naturally I'd say find a great agent.

But the best ways to get started are, in my opinion: 1) save up enough for a 10-20% down payment and then save a lot more on top of that for reserves, overages, and any unforeseen repairs.    2) have your financial house in order and have credit above 700 to get more favorable rate and terms from lenders.   3) speak to a loan officer that is experienced with fix and flips and get the necessary documents together for a pre approval (typically not much required, usually a valid ID, LLC docs if any, and two months of bank statements showing funds for down payment and reserves).

in my experience, if its a "average sized home" i take that as a 3/2 or 4/3, 4/4 etc that number of 30k is very close. 20k low end, 30k high and of course you can get stupid beyond that.cant comment on the financial return as to much missing info as others have said but if it rings true of 1k per month, potential 3 year return is accurate 

The issue you will run into is not the lack of personal financial statements.

I'm located in the Southern California area...Orange county to be exact.I would love to see a copy of financial statements from someone in the industry, so I can simply see a example of what type of expenses & margins I can expect.. 

Your point about working with a realtor or someone in property management who’s looking to scale also resonates with me, as I’m always open to collaborating and learning from others in the industry.I’ll definitely keep in mind the financial considerations you mentioned when transitioning careers or starting a new business.

I am currently a 19 year old looking to simply gain as much financial education, simultaneously saving money for future investments.
