I am interested in hearing success stories on growing a fix and flip business.  

I work on Wall Street, commute 3 hours a day and still have managed to grow a successful (and frankly exploding in growth) student rental property management business at Rutgers University on the side.  

Congratulations and I wish you a ton of success.

At the time, I had a successful retail management career but when I turned 23 I went through a process of what I call metacognition.

You are definitely not alone in your real estate ambition.Congratulations and I wish you a ton of success.

Congratulations and I wish you a ton of success in your real estate investing career.

There you can acquaint yourself with other real estate investors and professionals (lenders, title reps, realtors, escrow agents, appraisers, contractors, etc) in your area.Happy to help in any way I can.Congratulations, Samson, and I wish you much success in your real estate investing career!

Hey Samson, I am also here in Tampa and I am new as well so my advice is worthless.. but Much success and happy hunting.

Has anyone had success with this strategy?

Some will probably disagree with me... and I know success in investment requires taking on of risk... but I think you will really be glad you took time to really educate yourself before jumping in.
