Quote from @Eli Edwards: Has anyone ever tried to bring a homeowner/seller in on the flip?

Also, I have sold a many flips for clients and myself.

A few years ago there were a lot of get rich quick types, and I still get contacted by people who think they can buy 2 houses and retire on the cashflow. 

Pop into the forum just on flipping and you will get a ton of value just from reading.

Have helped multiple clients maximize their house hacking properties this year as well. 

Paying those things benefits you because they facilitate STUFF exiting the house. 

I am now looking for my first flip opportunity.
