I want to fix/flip homes. I have been procrastinating for YEARS... Help me with some issues I have.If I use leverage to buy a property and fix in order to resale, then I sale the property with a real estate agent, how...

Spend some time learning how to ball-park maintenance/repair costs, you can do so by buying a few electricians/plumbers/roofers/etc. lunch and just chatting with them, go to Home Depots/Lowe's and learn the rough estimates for materials.Cheers and good luck!
