Honesty goes without saying, but what active flippers value is reliability, consistency, speed, and as much money as they can humanly get per deal.Active flippers eventually run out of money and look for a highest LTV loans they can find.

I've been wanting to do "something" in REI for 25+ years now, starting with buying the old Dave Del Dotto system back in '89, working with an investor in 1999 who eventually went bankrupt, and for the last year or so doing legwork (driving for dollars, researching properties, etc.) for another local investor.I always get held up with the money part of it.

I want to practice property / deal analysis as much as possible to 1) learn how to accurately (and eventually, quickly) analyze a deal a broker sends my way, 2) learn terms, formulas and nuances of deal analysis to be able to competently speak with brokers and investors, 3) confidently discuss with potential investors why working with me will be beneficial to and help further their goals and 4) just not fudge the whole deal up.  

The goal would be to save for the town home now and eventually rent out the condo.
