Description

We are in our “Best Places” series of shows to end up the year. Last time we talked about the best places to live. I reeled off more than 100 great places to live and pointed out that the lists were different because of the different criteria used and the relative importance of those criteria. Today we are going to talk about the best places in America to flip properties. I have several lists, although a few of them got their data from WalletHub and are therefore not original. What you will see is that even in a business driven by the numbers, there is still room for some disagreement. Although I don’t know what the heck Bob Vila was thinking in his list. But you’ll hear it coming up!
