Hi,My name is Pablo Sanchez, I'm from Chile, Santiago and I'm interested in flipping small single family homes in Santiago.I have zero experience in real estate, however I have a site with estimates of the purchase value in my city (www.ufm2.cl).I'm in a partnership with an ex coworker, and so far we have assembled the team (architect and lawyer) and we have chosen the zone we want to target.I already read the book on flipping houses by J Scott and listen to the bigger pocket podcasts everyweek.My goal is to make at least one flip by october.I think this community is great, but I'd be surprised if I find someone from my Country here =-)Thanks in advance for the help.

I was very happy, because I thought I saved at least 20-30K on my future purchases of building materials.I gave these gift cards to my workers, so they could start using them right away.To my surprise, 3 of my workers called me the same day when I gave them the cards and said that 3 HD cards that I gave them had 22 cents, $1.20, and $0.75 cents.

You will be surprised how much help you get from the members on here . 

I'd be surprised if you found such a thing because ownership/equity is a completely different subject from property management.

Somewhat surprised, I'm more than fine staying under 100K with this first investment. 

You'll be surprised how quickly your business will grow if you have everything and everyone in place before you start, and network, network, network!

I was supposed to go to college but didn't get approved for financial aid (surprisingly cause i live in a single family house with 9 bodies ) and me and my parents didn't have enough to send me to college.

That proved sufficient, but I was surprised at the amount of upfront costs and small expenses that homeowners and investors face - taxes, assessments, energy bill one time charges, etc, etc.  

At that pont to gain entrance China has to reveal how much gold it has, and it will be both surprising and crippling to us in terms of purchasing power.

Look to see if your company-sponsored 401k has a brokerage option.I was pleasantly surprised to find that mine did.A brokerage option gives you great flexibility; for instance, my "regular" 401k had about 20 funds to choose from.
