I am a licesnsed affiliate broker here in town already, but I am looking to get my feet wet in purchasing my first flip or rental project.

Second there are many different ways to get into real estate investing whether it be single family residences, buy and flip homes, buy and hold as rentals, invest in apartments as a passive investor or by being active lead sponsor which you mentioned you’d want to be active I’m focused on the apartment arena so I can give you my two cents on apartment syndication from a passive aspect and more active approach.

These would be buy and hold rentals (predominantly single family - mixture of 2 & 3 bedroom homes) so i'm not looking for the ability to flip or on-sell, really just to hold for rental income longer term.Many thanks for your help Rudi 

All flippers really should take the time to learn how to accurately budget for a flip.

The Financial Goals are not, "3 flips and 1 hold per year".  

Assuming the higher end of the resale, that would give a nice chunk of money to keep doing deals - if you can continue to find deals in your area, flip or rent, you will do better from a COC return.

I have interest in flipping but I don't think I am quite ready for that yet.

What do you have in 60624, rentals or flips? 

I would expect they are all more interested in making alot of money working for insurance companies then giving my a competitive price for a flip.
