Here are a couple of points regarding my experience.1.

Mostly 1br/1bath units with a couple 2br/1bath.

Someone brand new to this site should start listening to the podcasts, subscribe to the newsletter, and start reading through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide  https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin...You'll get lots more actionable tip ideas once you start going through those resources. 

I am brand new to this site.  

When I first started, I thought the brand made the difference, so I picked the agency that had the biggest brand in the area.  

The Association also has a couple of aces in hand, several units that were purchased during foreclosures in the depths of the recession that are now rented out, and could be sold to pay for capital improvements like new roofing.  

(It's actually a property that I've eyed for a couple years, just daydreaming, & reached out to the owner llc during that time but never heard back). tl;dr My idea so far to purchase would be a short term 12-16 month hard money loan, 80% purchase w/ 100% renovation, with private money coming in to fund the 20% & points, refi'ing into a conventional note with my local lender who I have a decent relationship with when the first note balloons. 

I have had this burning desire for a couple years to start back flipping homes and then would like to rent for positive income to fund my flips.

Looking at maybe just doing a basic white plastic tub with a plastic surround.Flooring – I need to get about 300 to 400 square-foot of tile installed.Basic handyman and drywall work – it looks like there are a couple of areas where water pooled outside of the house, and a little bit seeped in, so some drywall needs to be replaced, and probably add some type of sealant to prevent the leaking in the future.I have already been looking through many of the forums and have found a lot of great information.

While I'm not brand new to real estate, I definitely have a lot to learn, which is what I'm looking for with Bigger Pockets.
