@Alexandra Gortchilova  one thing you may consider is to hook up with a premier hard money lender in your market.. he or she will have a stable of mostly successful flippers already as clients.. then you just shadow the broker putting you into the deals. the broker will share or should share the due diligence with you.. you can drive by look at the property to decide if you want to fund it.. you can go there and watch it being done.. poke around ask questions..

For most people $15K is not much to work with, but I had a client who started Checkbook IRA with just under $3K for his wife and was investing in tax liens (your investment strategy and your investment goals and plans would dictate if it makes sense for you). 

Would you happen to have a "cheat sheet" of sorts, so I could use that, and maybe pass it along to a client of mine?

@Curtis Fergus you posed a great question I have a client who is in a similar situation, I will definitely be sending him to look at these posts on Bp

If you want to replace 90k a year I would suggest you get a Real Estate sales license start part time.. its fairly easy to make 90k a year in real estate if you have a book of known clients and associates and if your in a modest to upscale price market. 

We’re looking for an international Real Estate professional with contacts and experience to handle this sale for our client.

I am looking for off market multi family properties for my clients, and looking for motivated sellers in the central florida area.

We deal with international clients as well.

Find a mentor, partner, or client (buyer) who you can work for. 

I think their too big to give every listing/client the attention it needs/deserves.
