Jersey City, Newark, upstate NY. where to start?

[Carlos Pelegrina]

Hi Guys 

I joined BP a couple of month ago, and I'm very happy and inspired by the site, resources and great people in here. I have been reading everything I can, listening to every podcast, I joined my local REIA association and trying to learn as much as I can.

I have an strong practice as an Architect, (not licensed in the USA just in case) design, and construction. 

I have done many remodeling or flips adding great value to properties but the profit has been always for my clients.

I finally decided to start doing the same thing I have always done, but as a real-state investor this time where there are some new variables to learn.

to start I want to do some flips and I'm trying to define where.

Because I live and work in NYC, where is almost impossible to start investing, I was thinking according to what I read and research; Newark, Jersey city, or even upstate NY where I spend some time could be some of the options.

I'm looking for wholesalers or investor friendly real-state people to help me find my first deal.

please don't hesitate to contact me with deals of for anything you need.
