Hi All, 

My name is Michael and I am just getting into real estate investing and will be targeting single/multi families to rehab and resell in the Union County area of NJ. I grew up in the county and am hoping to begin my first project ASAP! I have some construction management experience so I'm hoping that will be an asset in not only my projects but also be a good springboard for others here on the site. For my Union County people - can anyone recommend a good real estate agent they've worked with and would recommend to a fellow investor? Also, what are your experiences with portfolio and hard money lenders in the area?

Don't forget to put up a profile pic when you can, and check out the podcasts as well as the info other members post on the forums. I'm a newer member here as well, but I quickly became aware of the many experienced investors here that share tons of their experience -feel free to ask questions.

My 2 cents: I think single families will be easier to flip, but multi is better for buy and hold if you are prioritizing cash flow, as the NJ taxes make this difficult with a single.
