My current goals are to begin with my first flip in early 2016, eventually getting into buy & hold real estate as well, since my lease is up in 11 months, I'll probably use my VA loan and look into house-hacking next year as well.I'm thinking of looking somewhere in the range of 35k-60k houses and hopefully making profits of 10-20k (not positive how realistic this goal is yet until I narrow down to a particular zip code)After that will be the fun task of searching for a lender, but I won't get into that too deeply as my first step is choosing a farm area (if that's even necessary here) My girlfriend and I have been considering Hollywood, based on how it's getting more and more attractions in that city (margarita-ville for example) but I'd love to get some advice from the experts who know this area much better than I!
