.- It's slow and risky  . . . all real estate investing has a degree of risk involved, but when you start talking about a house with tax liens, has been abandoned, and operating off estimates what I hear is "this thing could end up anywhere" which is not what you want with your first flip.If you decide to do it I would highly recommend reading J Scott's Book on Flipping Houses first and living by it.

I graduated with an exercise science degree from McKendree University (2020), but I plan to further my education in Physical Therapy.

I have a bachelor in Economics and a Masters degree in Business Administration.

When the temperature gets below 70 degrees I am cold...

But only if you live up north...LOL Where I am in St Pete Florida below 60 degrees is cold outside!
