what advice do you have somebody starting off in flipping houses? I want to start my first flip in 2009 and would like to be ready so i have a few questions.

1. i was thinking about starting a llc and getting business credit with places like home depot and Lowe's. is this a good move?

2. whats the percentage of cash i need to how much the house cost? I was thinking 10k would be fine for a 100k or less house.

3. is it hard to acquire a house now since the market is doing bad. I want have the money to buy the house cash so can i get get a loan or something? how would that work?

any else I should know will be greatly appreciated and point me in the right direction please.
