3) the house is in a 'non-disclosure' state (my term for: not required to disclose RE sales);  so doing 'comps' online seems questionable 4) IF the house actually sells for anything near $125k - $150k??

How can I get started to make my 1st sale

Additionally, I will be attending the Ocean County Sheriff Sale this coming Tuesday to observe (we have two private lenders who are interested in working with us).Thank you in advanced for any assistance you all can provide!

as Curt points out.. really any property you buy no matter were or what.. will cost you money to sell if you decide you want out within a short period of time.unless the market goes up more than the 8% that is the usual sales cost when you factor in commish .. and other closing costs.and in most cash flow markets 8% appreciation can take 4 to 10 years if ever. 

So with that being said, my partner and I decided to get into Real Estate and flip houses to rental properties to do whole sale properties and the likes.

Someday, I may need coaches, teachers, mentors, friends, like-minded colleagues willing to help each other, along with all the other people on my power team.

It took 6 months from beginning to end and here are the approximate numbers:Purchase Price - $170kClosing Costs at purchase - $11kRenovation Costs - $80kHolding Costs - $9kSales Price - $320kClosing Costs at Sale - $35kNet Profit - $15kI was hoping for profits closer to $30k however since it was my first flip, I'm just glad that I didn't lose money.

We are a hot market and growing very quickly here, we have some turn key stuff as well as multi fam, foreclosures, and motivated sellers, an overall good mix of homes for sale. 

Gary, while Solo 401k plan is more powerful than an IRA - it is not for everyone.
