New to real estate, buy in nj, va, or elsewhere?

[Chanelle Pope]

Hi, I’m very new to real estate and am ready to get more knowledge to get my feet wet. I would like to buy and house hack a multi family property to rent, and also a fix and flip. I’ve gotten more knowledgeable lately but would appreciate some guidance and help with the right steps to take and in what order, in all aspects of the business in order to generate consistent cash flow income. I’m currently a south nj resident, Mount Laurel but from Vineland, however I’m ready to leave state soon when this aide position is over. Virginia near Hampton/va beach/Norfolk is my main goal to live but am willing to look into anywhere that may have a good and sensible market to be in. Any help is greatlY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
