If you’re considering flips to build capital, start with value-add rentals to gain rehab experience with lower risk.

I’m excited to learn from your experiences and advice.

With absolutely no prior experience investing in real estate, I'm getting to the point/age where retirement from corporate America is getting closer and closer, however I still have 2 kids to put through college over the next 2-6 years.

Thanks for info - can I use personal CCs via Plastiq vs biz ones?  

When you have the confidence & experience branch out and do one yourself.

Don't wait until you know everything; learning through experience is key.Good luck!

Really the person that is going into the flipping game should know the market very well to do these comps on their own, and back it up by asking their trusted real estate agent/professional for confirmation.

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

Quote from @James Wise:I need to dig up a podcast that I listened to about 2 months ago with Tom Ferry, and the person was giving all the states, You are pretty close to that number on 5 days or more.. 95% range, the industry is very off kilter these days with the low activity of 2023 and 2024 that most people licensed just retired, gave up, or thought they were going to do something and never could get a sale due to bad leadership.

Check with your lender first—they may allow it if you personally guarantee the loan.2.
