looking for some guidance

[Andrew Adams]

Hello! I'm a newbie in the Real Estate game.  I'm looking for my first property, but I live in Southern Illinois.  The properties are cheap for some of the single family homes and I'm just not sure if I can be profitable trying to flip a 36k home.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  If there is someone in the southern Illinois area, I'd love to meet up and talk and learn.
