Obviously a beginner....trying to find out ways to fund my first flip project.

Then you can either fix it and flip it, or wholesale it to someone else..  

But I'm a licensed agent now and heading towards getting a flip or a rental

I've met a few investors that have decided to rent their flips for a while while the market turns to a sellers market again. 

The property is a SFH that will be flipped.

I sat down with a friend of mine who flips houses it Pittsburgh but comes down to Florida where I live to visit occasionally and we were talking about the differences in real estate in both of these areas.

Hi Everyone, My husband and I are totally new to the world of investing and flipping so please don't kill us with your responses. 

esp for fix and flips? 

I would like to own a property (either a live and flip or rent) by the time I graduate or soon after.

If you flip the house before ever having to use the reserves, they become profit.
