Excited noob from MA looking to buy in the next year.

This site is amazing, so much info I'm lost. Little about me and hopefully people can guide me in a direction to start.

I've purchased two primary residence in my life both of which I fixed up myself so I'm very handy. My wife and I have very good full-time jobs that we probably wont' be quitting so I plan on investing and maybe flipping on the side. My long term goal would be to get a a few investment properties under my belt for passive income later in life and maybe use flips to cover the costs of new properties.

Living in MA makes it hard. Most properties are so high and taxes are so high I'm not sure a lot of deals make sense. I pulled up Redfin this morning and looked for single families around me to possible flip and most are already in the $250k range and I only found a few that need TLC and they were in the $350k range so I'm not sure how much I could squeeze out.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be posted lots of questions soon. Comments, questions, suggestions, please let them flow in. :-)
