Brandon is not the ONLY investor that has succeeded and his views are not the ONLY ones that work. 

A buyers agent should give their buyer good feedback on the likelihood of an offer succeeding but should always present an offer for their buyer if the buyer insists.

I think the main reason most people do not succeed is because they fail to be persistent and learn and keep trying.

@Tiffani Guy I'm looking to the same here with little to no money of my own, I did however have the funds and credit score last year to do, and there are 100% 100% HML lenders however I made a huge mistake on a renovation for a friend in florida, that being said if you truly want to succeed in flipping unless you do have friends and family who will actually pull thru on l ending you funds, you really need your own funds and excellent credit to get started, the idea of zero of your own money is a myth, even if you obtain a 100% 100% HML you still need to prove you have funds to cover your expenses and their interest payments. plus you need to bring something strong to the table, I'm a contractor and have more experience renovating homes then alot of people who flip, I'm still finding it very tough to find lenders who will actually pull through on a deal and for a decent compensation.
