Help with markets good for multifamily & fix and flip

[Nicole Brodie]

Hi All! 

I am currently based in NYC  considering to make a move (within the next year) out of state with the goal of transitioning to a more affordable state/area in the country. The initial plan would be to purchase a small multifamily home to house hack in a market where my partners & I could dive into fix and flip as well. 

Looking for help and suggestions on any markets that might be good for this strategy! Just a little lost on how to get started for analyzing markets since I do not have any particular city in mind. Hoping this post can give me some launching off points to dive into where this could work best! 

Thank you in advance to all :)
