Quote from @Piper Pepperidge: Looking to do my first flip, was originally looking at baltimore, but it looks like it's moving towards a buyer's market and inventory is very high so I'm looking for other hot neighbors with low inventory.ThanksHottest markets are inner ring dc suburbs, moco, nova, even Howard and Frederick, I can tell though if you are a 1st time flipper you will lose money, I’ve been doing this for nearly a decade and I cannot hit my numbers, I met with a flipper a few weeks doing 12 a month, has his own crews, buys off market, literally a full time business, even he is struggling , it’s a bad time to flip right now tbh.
