I am in northern central Indiana, I buy/sell/scrap cars as much as I can. There is good money to be made, for sure. The very first thing I do when thinking about flipping a car is do a walk-around with pen and paper in hand. Write EVERYTHING that the vehicle needs down, no matter how big or small, from wiper blades to body parts to mechanical parts. As previously stated parts add up quickly. I try to do most of the work myself - learn as I go.. I hate electrical issues, I don't have the patience.
I - much like you - want to sell something ready to go, safe & nice. I was out of a "regular job" for about a year, and flipping cars is what I done to stay afloat.
If you would like you can send me a pm, I'm always wanting to buy projects, clunkers, and parts, etc etc. Sometimes its better to start with a $1200 car that needs TLC put $350 into it and flip it for $2200
BTW - CL can be your best friend if used properly.
