Because I have a few around me, that while they are in the $30k - $50k range, they are in a good middle income neighborhoods.My question is with being a rookie/newbie & having a limited amount of funds for your first flip, the little cape cod starter homes are a good place to start.

I got my start in real estate back in 2012 when I bought my starter home and thought it was too good to be true to have roommates pay the mortgage.

Every area differs and it also is heavily dependent on if you're renovating it to be a Luxury Listing, a Starter Home, or a Rental.
