I hope to be a licensed realtor in the state of North Carolina.

Here are the numbers so far:ARV = 120,000   This is based on comps for 3 Br properties sold within past year, within 0.5 miles.

They are asking $59k ”As-Is.”I wasn’t able to find any standard comps (.5 mile radius, time sold, same beds/baths, etc.) but I used Redfin and they had similar homes that had sold in the area.

But that's really vague -- is a 4plx 30 miles away from the identified 3plx good?

I am from New York looking to do my first fix & flip in north NJ or even suburbs of New York.I have 40K In capital, 800 credit , I'm trying to find a way to get my first deal with those numbers (If I am too optimistic let me know in the comments) .I'm at the point where I'm looking for areas and neighborhoods that I can make the most of with the tools I currently have, but I don't even know what to look for.I think I'm on the right track but any suggestions or advice would be super beneficial.

I soon wanna buy a small multi-family home but I'm looking for a city that is growing particularly in North East Ohio.

Both these properties are within 3 miles of my current residence. 

It's about half a mile from the University of Maine Farmington campus.

And these properties where in neighboring towns just miles from one another.
