I'd start small and just try to learn the game of flipping. 

Outside of real estate, I’m a huge sports fan, so you can usually find me glued to almost every game on the weekends.My interest in real estate began as I explored different ways to generate passive income, which ultimately led me to the BiggerPockets community.

It could be a game-changer for streamlining your operations.

Yet it's all a zero sum game, so think about it from winners & losers.
