I am looking to make this my second career (what i really want to do when I grow up) and I am excited for the future business relationships and friendships that are certainly to come.

lately, I’ve been thinking about many different strategies regarding real estate.I originally did wholesaling for a few months but ended up stopping bc it just took up too much of my time especially with my full time job.second, I thought of having rentals but I was hesitant bc I live in NJ & the rental laws here aren’t the greatest and it’s hardly any deals that can justify for the rent to cover the mortage in this expensive market.Right now ive been thinking about possibly flipping properties in my own back yard NJ or possibly out of state where home prices are much lower in certain markets.Anyone have advice if I should possibly flip properties where I live in NJ (blue state) or possibly go into another market and flip virtually..?
