Emails:
Questions@flippingamericaradio.com Tell us where you’re from!- Mike, Homewood, AL “Thanks for a great show. Keep up the good work. I think I want to buy a rental property or two. How do I go about finding them? And what should I be looking for? I have about $120,000 in cash and can buy houses in the outlying areas around Birmingham in the 50-60,000 range.”
- Leah, Birmingham, AL “I heard you talk about buying foreclosures in Alabama and that you don’t do it. But you also say the foreclosure auction is the #1 source for deals. What are we in Alabama supposed to do?”
- Jill, Lancaster, PA “You give out so much information about how to do this on the show. I can’t help but wonder what more you tell people in your training. I haven’t been able to get down there for your workshop so far, but please tell me what I’m missing!”
