Currently looking for my first house to flip. How do I figure out what neighborhoods to stay away from ?

For example when a tenant is behind in rent and I don't think it's not going to work out, I give them 2-3 options that I am willing to accept and have them pick one.  

Pick a niche and find a few neighborhoods to attack.

If you pick up the phone and call the cops and the cops are there are and ready to do their jobs in fifteen minutes or less, it's not D-class.

In other words, pick a few good houses in a great area that you'd want to live in, over a crappy area that will "cashflow better".For networking, aside from a local meetup, you'll primarily want a rockstar agent on your team.

I can send you my number if you’d like to connect more and pick my brain. 

You can pick something up that needs work, raise the rents and kick existing tenants out.  

This property was a Sheriff Sale property that we were able to pick up for a great price (65% of ARV) knowing that the rehab costs would be minimal.

Right now I'm struggling to just pick a market.  

We have had 3 companies pick it up, and turned the job down.
