Newbie investor from NJ

Hello - I am a newbie investor from NJ looking to add cash flow to my regular income. I have read the primer book on this site and listened to few of the podcasts and YouTube videos. One advise provided is to start investing close to home and later branch out to other regions. The NJ market in my opinion (i am also a homeowner here) is not very attractive from a buy and hold perspective. Can anyone suggest how I could take a first step if NJ is out of the picture and the advise is to start investing locally? I would appreciate any advise.

Regards,

Azeez

Hey Justin Fraser I am from Trenton and new to RE Investing as well..Trying my hand at wholesaling and Im also looking for some local meetups. Everything I have been seeing has not been that close and time was an issue since Im working F/T. I def would like to meetup w/other investors, contractors, cash buyers, etc. And basically have connections w/other like minded individuals from what I hear in this business "Your Network is Your Networth." I'll take any info u can give...Thanks in advance
