BRRR in Detroit area

[Marwan Zoweil]

Hi, I'm looking to make my first move into real estate and I'm thinking I'd like my first deal to be a BRRR property. Although I live in NJ I really like the prices and rents in the Detroit area, so this is definitely going to be a challenge long distance.

Any tips on how I should start.

What zip codes should I look in ?

Areas I should avoid ?

I'd like to invest in SFH rather than MF for now.

Am I taking on too much for my first deal ?

I can't really BRRR in NJ because prices are just crazy right now, so I'm trying to find other markets but I'm just concerned about not living near my property.
