3 Key Points:

Properties that come with challenges such as foundational issues are good targets for remodeling purposes, because they have less competition on the market.
Fix and flippers often get their deals through wholesale, but it’s also possible to sustain business through skilled agents.
One can fund their business like Mark through various means such as hard money loans, private money loans, and personal savings.
