Getting Started Flipping America

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to get started as a real estate investor. Today I’m going to talk about how to do that.
There is a wealth of free information available to you if you have internet access. Google “learn how to flip houses” or “learn real estate investing” and you’ll get hundreds of thousands of results instantly. You can do the same searches on YouTube and get similar results. Information is not the problem. Helpful, actionable step by step information is a little harder to find. The toughest part about this is how to know what is hype and what is good info.
