I currently live in NJ so it would be easiest to start investing here, though the taxes and costs are so much higher than other areas. I considered going to neighboring states like Philadelphia, Easton, or other Pennsylvania cities, or go even farther towards the Midwest however I have no connections there and would need to work on building a team in those areas. Anyway I was wondering opinions on the best areas to buy cheap fixer upper homes to turn into long term rentals starting with single or multifamily properties. Thanks for any info and area suggestions!!

If you have any interest in investing in New Jersey let me know! I am just starting out here and have a great real estate/mortgage team and know some good contractors (although I don't have a property management connection yet) but through my team I'm sure I can find a good one 

I am new to bigger pockets after reading the book on rental properties, becoming a real estate referral agent, and listening to some podcasts I figured I should sign up. I currently own a starter home in NJ and am looking to rent it when I finish college as well as use the leverage to purchase other rental properties. Looking forward to learning the ins and outs of buy and hold rentals, I will probably start in NJ because that is where I am from and then research areas with higher cap rates as I get more comfortable with managing properties. Looking forward to connecting with all types of real estate pros!

Thanks,
