The community that I live in has a Master Association and several Condo Associations.

Know your budget and the costs associated. 

@Robert SheddenI suggest you join us at the Rockford real estate investors association.

People think I'm crazy for having an accounting degree and wanting to move away from traditional W2 income into performance pay.

Not to discourage you but doing flips from afar is no easy task and opens you up to other risks associated with those logistics you would not be exposed to otherwise.

Keep in mind, some of the best deals are off-market - get yourself connected to local groups on social media that will allow you to find these opportunities quicker so you're not in such a rush to buy that you make a mistake on your vetting process.There is always risk associated with fix-and-flips - but having the confidence going into a buy makes all the difference.

Aside from that look at Association of Private Money Lender.

Moving from LA to Austin might seem like a bargain and probably so, but if your looking to build wealth then you will do better with lower end properties that don't lose cash flow to HOAs or Condo association fees.  

@Kevin Romero - Here is my "starting up" collection:Read ideal-vs-desperate-investor (http://greeneincome.com/index.php/2018/10/29/ideal-vs-desperate-investor/)Read Dave Ramsey book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." and complete the baby steps there.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Finish the school and get your degree - you'll need it later, especially if it's business management.Get a job first where you have W2 income.

Always be sure to comply with associated regulations.If you have experience in the business model, I'd start with that.
