Hi @Rita SamaddarI recommend areas based on three things:Budget: Knowing your cash to close helps me suggest the best areas, especially if you're using a hard money loan.Rehab Level: Whether you prefer low or major rehab impacts the neighborhoods I'll recommend.Market Dynamics: Areas with minimal days on market are ideal, as they predict how quickly your property will sell post-rehab.In conclusion, start with how much you have to work with and the level of rehab you're comfortable with to find the best areas for fix and flip.

I really appreciate your help, and your welcome to the community! 

If anyone could help me get a mortgage or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

You should look into DSCR Loans - many investors like yourself typically move to this loan product once they max out with DTI/qualifying conventionally - a bit higher in rate than conventional mortgages - but no DTI ratio or tax returns/income verification makes a much easier qualification process and LLCs are 100% ok (even as sole owner) and actually often preferred.PS - published a 10-part article series here on BP last year on everything you'd want to know on these loan types - sharing links below, hope it can help!

It could make sense to bring in an investment partner.Another option, since it sounds like it's a handful of smaller properties, is to get a group of people together and divide and conquer the units rather than having one master portfolio with LPs and GPs.Feel free to DM me if you want to discuss strategy; I'm happy to help.

Leveraging a property management company can help manage the rentals effectively, especially if you plan to live elsewhere eventually.

I can help with the North MS area but we do not invest in the Jackson area.

Thanks for everyone's help. 

I would recommend connecting with an agent there to help you with comps. 

Adding a nice small decent garbage can at my pool side help to keep that area very clean nad this may be a good addition for you.
