Thinking about flipping houses in Ohio

[Sara Booth]

Hello, Newbie here. I need opinions on this idea.

I have $100,000 I want to invest in real estate. I live in Los Angeles and I have family in Cleveland, Ohio. The last time I visited Cleveland I had the idea to start flipping houses out there. Since I have family there who can help oversee projects and provide a place for me to stay when I fly out it seems doable. Also, $100,000 seems like it could go a long way in that area. 

Thoughts on this?
