Hi Sue,

If you dont have the buyer agent then there is a good chance that you can negotiate on the agent fee. It is a good that he is an investor friendly but try to research everything if he tries to sell you one of his properties!

Good luck!

HI Tony 

@Tony Castronovo

Thanks so much for your post! it helped a lot. Yes, we decided to sign the agreement without a lawyer for now. :)

Hi BP community,

My husband and I found a property and are planning to buy it with cash. We just received the purchase agreement. Should we go over that with a lawyer? Please help! thanks in advance.

Hello Chris,

I myself joined BP a few months ago. I live in Astoria right now but my husband and I have been shopping around all over the NYC areas including New Jersey and Long island for the past 6 month. We finally decided to move out to Long island even though it is hard to find deals. But we found one house that's decently priced for us to live in last weekend and could possible renovate the basement to rent. We will see what happens. Good Luck and let's connect!

Hi,

Where is a good area to start investing in NJ?

My husband and I are currently work in NYC and would like to find a place to live in the house while we are fixing it ourselves. so it will be great if it's fairly close to the city. Thanks for reading!

HI Chris,

Thanks for your reply. We went to see Edison, Metuchen (our favorite), Bloomfield, Nutley, Bergenfield, and Dumont.. many towns in one day. We are not familiar with NJ so didn't know about Union and somerset county. 

yes, We are currently renting and saving as much as we can so we can have some cash to spend when we buy the first home. I think that will be a good idea to buy two family home to rent it out. Is renting market in NJ going well as NY? 

Thanks for your comment again.

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!
