I personally have success in doing flips with my partner here in Ohio.Lakewood and Edgewater are gentrifying neighborhoods in Cleveland.

I have done a fix and flip in Lauderhill FL before being that I am from south Florida.

But we want to get into house flipping and have started looking at the listings here to find investors and properties.My question here is if we are in escrow and we find a property and an investor and get in escrow there, how would that affect the purchase of our new home?

Flipping is a production business.

I've gotten into flipping more (its hard to find the deal and takes a lot of work but you know that). 

to be honest, on my first flip...

Because, for instance, if I am flipping a couple of properties and I am in the middle of the rehab, but it will take a couple of months for them to get finished and sold, I may be paying $4000 on hard money debt payments per month, and if that debt is included in whether or not I will qualify for a refinance, then I may not qualify.

You can still make money on flips here though. 

💪Flipping in C-D areas is smart for avoiding long-term headaches, especially when it's not worth the upkeep.

I recommend getting a few quotes and choosing one that is right for your financing strategy. if you are trying to get fix and flip money there is a wide disparity in rates and charges.
