I'm not technically full time since wholesaling/flipping is my main business.

It might not be bad to throw up any current flips you may have going on.

We want to do a live in flip situation and refinance once the repairs are done, to pull money out and repeat on a new deal.  

People have short memories and think stuff like that will never happen again......personally I would never buy in those areas unless I'm flipping it and moving on.....no way would I buy a long term buy and hold there.I just sold my property in Kingwood.....flooded all around the neighborhood but not near my property...it was a stressful 2 weeks..... really don't want to do that again....dodged a big bullet with no flood insurance and I'm not counting on dodging mother nature again

Carpeting:  belongs in a flip, not a rental IMHO  (unless you like to redo it every few years. 

I’m just getting started with wholesaling and I’m also interested in flipping as well.

As the title states, I am deciding whether to start my investing career by doing a live-in fix & flip or by "house hacking" a 2-4 plex. 

Wholesaling, flipping, BRRRR, Buy and Hold.

Also, are you flipping homes or holding them as rentals!?

For flips both the area's I mentioned will work.
