Which I think also means I can sell the house at market rate once the foreclosure process clears?

I use a google voice number for advertising/marketing properties and first name only for advertising on the internet but my full name is on my lease and i give all of my tenants my personal cell phone number.

Looking to do my first flip, was originally looking at baltimore, but it looks like it's moving towards a buyer's market and inventory is very high so I'm looking for other hot neighbors with low inventory.Thanks

Have you looked into Ohio markets such as Columbus?

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.

Sadly, due to a family crisis, I had to leave my hometown and market.. 

(This is what a wholesaler is doing) I know this is a huge issue the CT market right now.

Richard's teachings on market analysis, property evaluation, and risk assessment have given me a competitive advantage in the real estate market and I am very grateful for that.

I have nothing to sell, am not doing marketing and not counting threads. 

If your HELOC is for the downpayment and you want to use lender money for the rehab, you are setting yourself up for failure in a difficult market.
