Hello, I'm very new to everything and trying to absorb any and all information that will help me in my near future venture of flipping a home.

I'd recommend to do at least 5 or 6 newer ones to get a feel for the business before venturing into deeper waters.Good luck with it and....Have fun!

I'm also hoping to joint venture, but it is so tough trying to find individuals that are willing to share their profits.

Daniel,I personally have not ventured into Neavad's market, but I have a friend in Henderson who has flipped 17 properties since the 1st of the year.

.- We aren't venture backed so we don't have any outside investors to influence our strategy or product direction.Those are some of the reasons we believe we provide a great product.  

Looking for Money and credit partners: these people either be a private lender and loan you enough money to buy a house like a bank, or a joint venture partner that will fund the entire project for a % of final profit. 

I would like to accumulate $40-80K in reserves from assignment and expand into other areas, potentially rental properties for cash flow, rehabbing/flipping, commercial real estate down the line and other profitable ventures that may or may not be real estate oriented. 

I've found the more active you are on BP and the more you read, learn and network the more confident you will be to dive right in to your real estate ventures. 

I wish everyone good luck in any and all ventures.

Paul and recently started working for that company I purchased from (Calhoun Ventures/Midwest Equity Partner) Especially if you are buying out of area you really want to do your homework.
