Finding a first deal (flip) in central NJ

[Josh Thompson]

Does anyone have any advice for finding and funding my first deal in central NJ? I am currently using Redfin and realtor.com as my main resource but am struggling, mainly because I don’t see any comps on those sites. I am looking for properties on the smaller side that I can do most or all of the work myself. I’m looking into using hard money to fund the majority of the deal so any advice with that is helpful. I do work full time, can save 200-300 per week, and have a small savings of 5000. Does this make me eligible to do a flip using only hard money combined with my own money?
