My girlfriend's parents have been doing live-in flips for the past 10 years, and that exposed me to how profitable a little extra work can be.After another year or so of saving up money for a down payment, I plan on buying a house to fix and flip over the course of a couple years.

My questions are, should he sell me the house first then use my money to fix it up?

To anyone who fix and flips/ buy and holds in Atlanta, tell me the best ways that you find deals and what area do you really want to be in?? 

She writes 30 years fixed in nearly every state for properties past 10. 

Would love to learn how to fix off market deals. 

Fix that first.

@Brandon Fo If you lock in a long term fixed rate, the interest rising doesn't matter to existing properties.

I quickly passed on the project so I'm not too sure on where to start to finding a fix for this situation.

Pros: -Most major cap ex fixes are covered-A lot less to rehab if bad tenants- great HOA can fend off bad neighborsNegatives:-If problem happens between units can be a headache-tenants tend to not stay as long-bad hoa can cause some issues There is many factors for you to determine- each situation is different

Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, Passive, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, “Subject To”, apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.
