hey everybody my name is manpreet singh m new to bp I drive cab in NYC last few years . 6 months ago hear about flipping houses so I did my research on the topic been reading talking to real estate agent's and construction ppl I have few friend who's in construction and looking at everything I decided to go with real estate investing it is life changing decision. so talk to one my friend and get in touch with a wholesaler in Brooklyn he's willing to sell me deals at good price. profit margin in NY is very good so far as i have seen (if u strike the right deal in good area)been talking to other ppl who do flip properties on regular basis out of BP but one seems like helping on providing on where to get startup money or how to get ppl lead to money to do uer first flip.I know my weak point in convincing a Leander is tat I don't have background in real estate so they look at me as a cab driver trying to to be at real estate investers.back in the days I use to help my aunt in Sacramento California in real estate wasn't involve tat much but I know the basics of real estate Market in NY is very good.
