Need Referrals to GCs, Lenders, Realtors, PMs, and Handymen in North Jersey

[Wen Chieh Chang]

Hi BiggerPockets,

I am a new investor who lives in Livingston, NJ. I am eager to build connections with investors, realtors, general contractors, handymen, property managers, and lenders who do business in North Jersey. If you are the one or have worked with one that did a great job, please refer them to me.

I am focusing on finding single/multi-family houses that need a lot of work in Bayonne, Jersey City (07304, 07305), The Heights, Union City areas. I'll finance through SFH conventional renovation loan or Multifamily fix and flip loan. I have preapproval ready and am ready to make an offer when deals show up.

Regarding the REI experience, I have a townhouse in CA and have been managing it remotely for 5 years. Besides that, I purchased and renovated my current SFH with a general contractor in 2022. I didn't know about BRRR at that time so we purchased at market value and renovation was way over budget. After educating myself with books and podcasts, I want to exercise a similar strategy to BRRR and consider flipping if cash flow isn't manageable. I am okay to leave some money in the deal considering it is a competitive market with a high house price.

I am looking forward to connecting with you!
