NYC VS NJ which is more landlord friendly?

Hi everyone

I own a 2 family house in Queens, NYC.  I've had 2 evictions so far and need to go to civil court to try to recoup 5 months of rent and lawyers fees from the last one. 

I am planning to sell and  move -just not sure where yet.  I am thinking of NJ because I think courts/laws are more favorable to landlords than NYC.   Am I correct?   

I also want to flip properties, so also looking at the down payment of buying and repairing to flip a house.   

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    @Sheila Gonzalez I am not a landlord, rather a cabinet wholesaler to landlords in the NYC/NJ area, the nightmares that I hear from the NYC landlords are much worse.

    From what I hear as a landlord, you will have an easier time in NJ.
