Fixer Upper in Long Island and New Jersey

Hello,

My husband and I just went house hunting in Long island and New Jersey over the weekend. It was full-time driving all day looking at houses town to town. It was exhausting but we felt like we learned a lot.

We are very interested in developing a fixer upper business. It is going to be a part-time job in the beginning but hopefully can be our full time job in near future. We are planning to move in to the first home that has a fixer upper value and fix it while we are living there and sell it possible within 6 months. My husband enjoys fixing things and wood working and I have design back ground. we are not expecting a huge return on the first house but would like to really get our feet wet and learn the whole process.

I would like to study and get the RE license in the mean time. 

if anyone has good any suggestions or insights I would really appreciate it!. I am excited to connect whoever has same interests! 

Thanks!
