Piece of advice - when I started I wish I would have focused on my multifamily niche/expertise from day one vs trying to be the agent for everyone (flippers, STR buyers, land, etc). 

You won't be considered a viable buyer and not allowed to bid.

It always sounds attractive. $300 a month for leads?

Address Your Financial ProfileBridge the Revenue Gap: Highlight your equity in the duplex and use your sale proceeds to demonstrate “skin in the game.”Partner to Compensate Experience: A financially strong and experienced partner can help offset your limited track record.Focus on the Land Deal: Secure the land at a good price, as it’s a crucial step in gaining credibility and attracting partners.Final ThoughtsYou’re entering an exciting and impactful space in real estate development.

Spend what’s needed to upgrade with reliable mechanical systems, roof that doesn’t leak, remediate all mold; interior design modernized; in other words a place that will attract a higher income no hassle tenant.  

Florida and DFW markets are already switching to a buyers market.3.

Buyers and sellers are still adjusting to these changes.

I recently came across a property through an agent with attractive numbers for a house flip.

One more pro tip: When naming your LLC, don’t box yourself in with a name like “Fast Flips Tampa” or “123 Home Buyers.”
