@Matthew Brant welcome to BP. There is an abundance of information that you can learn here.  I too am just starting out on my investing journey and am seeking a lot of the same. It's funny because I have been helping my clients do the exact same thing for years, yet now that it's me, my nerves are on overdrive.  lol

Hi, looking to see if there is an app or program that helps keep track of expenses. I'd like a mobile platform that you can add to while you are incurring an expense.

Anybody use one or can suggest one?

TIA. Cheryl

Quote from @Shawn Mcenteer:

Hi @Noyessie Hubert what type of real estate are you most interested in?  What go me and my wife to financial freedom was house hacking.  We traveled around new jersey moving property to property leveraging owner occupied loans allowing us to put very little down and acquire multiple properties that our tenants cover the mortgage and produce cash flow.  House hacking is a great way to reduce monthly expenses especially in a tax heavy state like NJ.  Always happy to share more about house hacking in north jersey and how it remains the unfair advantage for new investors.

I'm currently looking for a multi-family house with an FHA loan. Up to 2 families ( difficult to get a loan for more with the self-sufficiency test ). I plan to live there for at most three years and move out with another FHA. During those 3 years, I can buy out-of-state property at a lower price, but not null cash flow.

Yes, I will be happy to learn about your strategy. 


 Once you figure out what you would like to do, I'd be happy to help you find properties that fit your model.

@Joseph Guzzardi Jr where are you out of

@Noyessie Hubert  Welcome!  There is so much to learn on here. BP has some great trainings as well. I recently completed their Rookie Bootcamp which provided a ton of information to help you decide where you'd like to focus as well as team you up with others, if you are interested so that you can bounce ideas off of each other. I Highly recommend that course if you are just starting out.

@Corby Goade Analysis paralysis!!!  @Edwin Wealth the best way to learn is by doing. I'm in the midst of my first property and I'm learning a TON!! You just need to be courageous enough to take the plunge!

This is very common in Jersey. Your attorney should be familiar with this process and will compose an addendum allowing the U&O. 

Why do they need the U&O? A lot of times it is because they need the funds from their sale in order to purchase and need to remove the contingency stating that they need to sell in order to purchase. 

I would suggest holding back some of the proceeds in escrow until they vacate the premises. You will also need to do a walk through of the property when you close and complete a second one when they vacate the property. The escrow will be security that the property is in the same condition as you were expecting when you should have closed. Also, if worded correctly by your attorney, it can be damages should they decide not to vacate when agreed upon.
