-That very important otherwise could have some very shoddy work done.Be aware that it is a real possibility that you may have to walk away.

Without reserves you really run the risk of having the first flip take you down.And IMO hard money, if you can get one as a first time flipper will be very expensive and more importantly, leverage will magnify what ever you do.
