Flipping in Houston Market

[Rebecca Palermo]

I've been mostly focussed on rental properties that don't need a ton of work to turn around and rent out, but recently I've been thinking about flipping houses to bring in enough money to keep pursuing my rental interests. Funding...you know how that goes! Flippers, how do you pick neighborhoods here in Houston? I feel like most houses I see are only listed for maybe 30k under the other houses near them that have already been updated. I've been looking more at North Houston areas, but I think I may need to expand my search. Any advice?
