The market here in Lexington is really hot right now and deals are hard to find, but they can be found. 

@Daniel Ramirez Spending quality time in finding the right GC is probably the most important step in managing a Flip without doing the work yourself, so I commend you for taking the time to ask for opinions on how to vet one properly.Having just found a GC that I like and who is honest, I'll describe the process of how I selected him.First, I did research to determine whether or not his business is successful.

Thanks for the kind words.I have found that doing exactly the opposite of what most people are doing can often be better than competing against the masses who utilize that one single strategy.I don't doubt they are probably successful, I don't doubt that at all.

I'm Valentina and I'm super excited to have found BiggerPockets!

We found someone to complete the BPO's for us!

I keep hearing about this "Furnished  Rentals" talk .. it's starting to make me wish I had attended that one -  I'm going to have to followup with the presenter and see if he has anything published - anyone care to elaborate on the some of the ideas that you found most useful? 

I finally found a deal .

Hey BP,My dad has found a motivated seller in CA.  

Any helpful information on questions to ask is certainly appreciated along with other tips on how you found your first flip! 

Hello Everyone,I have a Contract in Place to close on a house by next week.This is my First Rehab Project.I have been looking for the houses for the past 6 months and also paid for Seminar/Workshop to study the Flipping Process.I finally decided to jump in this business,because i think i have found a house,in which i might make some money,but obviously not without encountering number of hurdles and obstacles.I have come across my first hurdle,which is, I am in need of a good General Contractor who can do the Rehab work and give me an estimate on it.Does any one in the Cincinnati Region has any Recommendations?
