Everything I was being told sounded too good to be true and makes me wonder why most people aren't doing this.

I also enjoy designing people's homes mainly friends and family and I love renovation projects! 

My mind is blown by all the creativity and we're lucky that we're in Milwaukee and from my experience, most people are very willing to share their brain with you.

Generally, people doing a live-in flip will try to do the majority of the work themselves and only contract out things they can't do.

I have posed this question to them “Are you people going broke ?”

Well, regardless of experience, people are going to assume younger people are not as qualified, skilled or yes, even experienced (haha, I know it is goofy!).

Above $150k is also tough because there are only so many areas that will command price points $200k+ and only so much demand from end buyers.That said, I know people that do it and do well with it.

I not only joined this site for the knowledge, but in hopes to find a community of like minded people that are interested in helping others to grow.

People expect more. 

Wasn't sure what to expect posting this thread and real glad to see people dropping their input.
