Suggestions for towns to flip in (2hr drive radius of NYC)

[Keisha F.]

Hi guys! I'm an landlord of a 4 family brownstone in Brooklyn, NY and want to go into flipping. I've been reading forums, listening to podcasts, reading books on flipping for months now. I want to start developing relationships with contractors, real estate agents, and other investors but I'm struggling to settle on a farm area. Any recommendations on where I should start looking for my first flip? From researching, I know that your flip shouldn't be farther than a 2 hour drive away so I've been researching in that radius but I've been getting mixed reviews. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks!!!

Keisha F. If your budget is 100K then I'd recommend Newark since it's pretty close to Brooklyn, and it's in your price range, but you have to get yourself really familiar with the city because it can go from high end condos to war zones in a matter of blocks, you could also check out East Orange and Irvington as well,
