Hello my fellow members, as always I post my question with great hope that you help me with your insights.

Hello, I am a new member here and I will be active a lot more. I am just starting out in Real Estate and Im looking to purchase my first flipper soon. Any tips or advice would be great, Thank you!

I will definitely update this post once I do my taxes with them.
