Fixer Beginner

sbwcomp profile photo

I have a beginning interest in purchasing fixers and creating value with a minimum of $ investment, then flipping. I don't know where to start. I am in my 40's, attending college to get my BA and working fulltime as an accountant, have a family, very happy. Want to increase financial stability. Seems flipping is a great way, but don't know where to start. I found the www.creativeinvestor.com searching on the web. Seems some of the seminar topics coming up this week are really interesting. How do I get more information without having to travel, since I can't make it due to commitments (see above). Thanks, anyone. Stan

    I would find someone in your area
    that is doing it full-time and offer
    your labor in exchange for knowledge.

    Ask local title companies, realtors
    and lumber yards.
    Maybe 'Craigs List', too.

    Read 'Profits in Buying & Renovating Homes' by Lawrence Dworin. Great
    book by a hands-on investor.

    Good luck and let us/me know
    how you are progressing.

    Stan:

    -Purchase Ron Legrands Cash Flow Module on this site for around $200.00
    This will help you trememdously and give you a great foundation. I would also recommend John Locke's material.

    -Join an REI club in your area.

    -Come to this site daily and read-read-read.

    -I would recommend learning how to be a bird-dog first. Then once you learn how to find properties you can start wholesaling and then retailing. Maybe even keep the good ones along the way as rentals.


    Best Riches,
