If so, you may be able to wholesale the property to someone (perhaps even someone in one of those $400,000 houses) in such a way that you and your grandmother come out whole.

There's alot of neglected housing out there, gentrification.

I'm considering buying a house in nearby Palm Coast as I travel there for business.

We manage 300+ units, I've flipped over 75+ houses in the past 3 years, and I currently own 28 long term rentals.   

Which options do you guys think are best when you have no money to put down on a house for flipping?

Hudson is a pretty "touristy" town, so BnB's became a big thing and the local gov't was concerned about the amount of long term housing available.

Contact my friends at HomeHop Property Management. www.homehoppm.comTalk to Dan, they have a in house designer, who you can hire. 

I have wanted to get into flipping houses and building houses since I was a little kid. 

I kept thinking it would get easier and less nervy as I bought more houses.

As a broker, you’ve already got a strong foundation, which will give you an edge in finding and structuring great deals.Since you're in Chicago, have you considered house hacking as a starting point?
