• Get Out: Go to real estate investment meetings: REIA or Real Estate Investment Association meetings. They are all over the country, and there is most likely one in your area. I go to them all the time. These meetings helped me to meet some of the investors I currently work with...flipping houses with their money.

Here is a short video of me at one of the local REIA meetings held in Bourne, Massachusetts. I am sitting on this panel with other extremely successful real estate investors. Real estate investors and money lenders who I never would have met had I not attended my local REIA meeting:

Get Out There...Expose Yourself!

This does not mean rip off all your clothes and streak the neighborhood....

What it does mean is that house flipping is a team sport and you need to get out and formulate your own all-star house flipping team. It may mean forming partnerships. But most importantly it means getting out and meeting people.

The best and easiest way to make money flipping houses is to talk to people who are actually flipping houses. Talk to people like myself.

I am here to help you succeed in flipping houses.

At the end of the day, you want to get into this business, don’t let money stop you.  So leave a comment below and get going, get moving and take action!
