What to do
Hi everyone,
I’m from Massachusetts and I’m seriously thinking about getting into car flipping.
I have a question for those of you with experience. Do you think it’s worth paying a dealer to let me operate under their dealer license, or should I wait until I can get my own license?
I don’t know much about mechanics yet, and there are still parts of the business I don’t fully understand. I’ve also had two business failures already—one with vending machines and another with renting cars—so this time I want to be much more careful and do things the right way.
Even after those setbacks, I still believe car flipping could be a good opportunity if I learn from people with experience.
If you were in my position, what would you do? What mistakes should I avoid, and what advice would you give someone just starting out in Massachusetts?
Thanks in advance for any honest advice.
