As an agent, there are TONS of resources for this type of approach.

It shows that you're resourceful and can give others some good perspective, too.

I would skip flipping and go bigger. 

Here are some resources for you to check out....Michael and Elizabeth Chang...one of the best rental arbitrage hosts out there.

You could go from 1 home to 4 , 8 or 12 if you have the appropriate resources! 

This is a great resource for you.

A good realtor (which is sometimes hard to find) is a great resource to estimate current property value and ARV, however, remember that they are going to give their opinion based on what they see on the market.

And @Michael Wagner is a good resource, too.Regardless, best of luck!  

There are loads of resources that you could access, one example is the BiggerPockets Podcast.

I'm new to Bigger Pockets... what is the best way to find SOLD FLIPS?
