How to determine the best area to target/market to for flipping?

[Taylor Winn]

Hey everyone!

I have partnered with my uncle who will be providing some private money and we are wanting to flip some houses. He has funded several flips with his brother-in-law over the last couple of years but his brother-in-law is doing some other things now. 

I am very ready to begin looking for houses and marketing here in KC, but I just need to know how to determine WHERE! I would like to pick an area or two, a neighborhood, or section of the city that I can really get to know and market to long term. How do I determine where to look/market to for flips??

I really appreciate any counsel or insight!

Thanks,

Taylor
