Hello, my name is Monica. My interest is to start in flipping properties, then to get to the point where I can invest and hold properties and become a cash investor. Does anyone have any tips on starting out? I don't ...

If you are not planning on holding the departing residence for a minimum of 8-12 years as a rental which still might not be long enough to take a hit to the equity that's there and recover it fully (if it takes such a hit), then sell now and redeploy the equity into your new house (if you are so inclined) or invest it into any number of principle protected low or no load investments that can return at least as much as it will likely earn as equity...with no risk of loss of principal.  

you dont necessarily have to sacrifice your Criteria however you might want to adjust your criteria and make it flexible till you get your finances in order, its the best way to avoid getting ahead of yourself and getting slammed with hard hitting lessons.
