To bring God glory,with financial freedom in where he may lead us.OBTAIN knowledge - Books we have read:  Rich Dad Poor Dad , by Robert Kiyosaki ;  The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, by Gary Keller; ALL OF Brandon Turners books (thanks Brandon ), The book on flipping houses,by J.

As a total newbie, I am getting into RE field and flipping sounds awesome to me.However I have a feeling that without RE appraisal or Interior Design certification I can't FLIP/REHAB houses or do RE properly.I would love to ask you.

I flipped a couple houses with my dad a few years back (right in the middle of the crash) we did ok on the first one but didn't make money in the second.

I would like to start flipping so I'm saving to get licensed and insured this way I can bid on bigger jobs.

Maybe an occasional flip.

My business partner and I are working to get our first house under contract and flipped.

Our current goal is to have our first contract flip by the end of September.

Plenty of opportunities for rentals and flips.

Kavita, My suggestion is to drive around these towns and get a feel for the area, with you living in Millburn, you can be in most of these towns in about 45 min. most of South Orange, Maplewood and Montclair will be more expensive and only good if you tend to flip properties and can get them at a real good price.

I would love to get to know the flipping side of the business and I would be more than willing to help out any active investors in any way I can during my off time from work so I can familiarize myself with the business/processes of flipping houses.
