Flipping homes in San Diego (locally) or out of state?

[Diana B.]

I'm soon moving to San Diego for my husband's work and trying to figure out how I can get into flipping homes. So far my experience has been only in rentals, and as a cash partner in one SFH flip in MI state. I realize that San Diego is not ideal for starting out, and I don't have very deep pockets but trying to do a pros/cons and assessment of my options:

Here's what I've come up with:

1. Flip houses locally in San Diego

2. Flip houses further out but still within CA state

2. Flip homes out of state - I would pick either AZ or OH - but this is a challenge as I have two children until 3 years. 

3. Give up on flipping and continue with rentals.

Any thoughts would be very useful. Thanks!
