Amanda, Hello and welcome to Bigger Pockets .. i am sorry you didn't get much more of a welcome ... normally there are a bunch of people giving advice and welcoming someone .. i am sure it was just timing .. anyway i hope you have taken advatange of this sites resources .. it is filled with so much information along with podcasts and advice it has a very big library and archive .. have you read any books .. like rich dad poor dad for example .. you are actually doing pretty good by owning two homes already .. if your really interested in doing just flips then maybe you sell one and use the equity ( i am assuming there us some ) as your rehab money on the flip property that you get a hard money loan on .. see most want you to have some skin in the game .. so if you for example find a 100k house but can by it for 50k and maybe it needs 25k in rehab .. most hard money lenders will only loan newbie's 65% of ARV which would be $65k  in that example which leaves 10k plus fees on your part .. not much of a profit on that example but i just used it for simple math as example .. there are some lenders that advertise up to 80% or even 95% ltv .. i can not suggest any of them because i am involved with a partner with funds my flips 100% including rehab but for that I give up 50% of my profits .. i met him and other investors willing to fund my flips right here on this website .. i just put a property under contact yesterday and hope to have another under contract by weeks end .. but , if i can help you in anyway with advice and such, heck ..maybe even partner up on a property or two that your friend finds .. so, you can get started .. then just reach out .. we live pretty close to each other .. good luck and God Speed , Michael Short 

Simple answer is work hard .. the real estate seminars and these so called guru's always claim that it is so easy to do .. and that part is not really a lie .. you dont need to be a scientist to start learning how to wholesale and then flip and invest in buy and holds .. but it does take work and lots, and lots of no's but stay consitant and determined and you shall succeed .. how do you start though .. well right here on this website is a great place to start.. become a sponge.. read every post that pertains to what it is your interested in learning about real estate whether it be wholesaling,flipping, buying notes , tax liens ..ect... focus on one thing at a time .. listen and ir watch the podcasts ..they are all in archive as well but i think you need a paid membership to access them .. if you decide to pay for a membership do yourself a favor and watch at least one podcast beforehand ..they put 20% discount coupons at the end of most of them .. it will save you around $60 on a pro membership .. i was on here for a week before i signed up for a paid memb..
