I think you have to be pretty savvy to flip homes in Texas, as the property tax is just nasty. Also, in this market, I'd be happy to hold on to the homes and rent them out. I just need to get into a spot where I can buy my first.

If you can tie your shoes you can do almost everything to fix up a house.
Iowanian give great advice. My first house was small and built in the 50's. I figured out how to roof and side it myself, then finish the basement. Anything can be done if you research it.
10 years later I was the general contractor on my own house, doing some of the work myself.
ps. I should admit I don't do major plumbing. Changing out toilets, sinks, and faucets is about t.
