Hi BB Forum,You may have read our first forum post a while ago about getting started and more entrenched in the industry on a full time basis in the following capacities: - Wholesale (Stage 1)- Fix/Flip (Stage 2)- BRRRR (Stage 2)- Buy/Hold (Stage 3)We are out of country investors looking at the best market to have longevity in and it's coming down to Pheonix, Houston or Dallas.

So, I wanted to get your advice on how should I proceed based on my goals.I'm pretty much starting out in the REI industry but have been educating myself for the past 3 years, listening to podcasts, masterminds, meetups, etc...

I am in the midst of my third and fourth deal since starting last year.  

So my suggestion if starting with a flip is to find one that needs simple things… paint, flooring, appliances, landscaping, and such.  

Should we start one?
