Post: Seeking Guidance and Connections for Wholesaling in NY/NJ

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

My name is Dana, and I’m currently diving into the world of real estate investing with a focus on wholesaling in the New York and New Jersey markets. I’m looking to connect with experienced investors who are actively buying in these areas, as well as get advice on the best strategies and platforms for sourcing off-market properties.

Specifically, I’d love insight on:

  • Where wholesalers in NY/NJ are currently finding leads (marketing channels, platforms, etc.)

  • How to navigate the unique legal and market challenges of wholesaling in these states

  • Investors who are open to JV opportunities or purchasing wholesale deals

  • Any recommended local resources, networks, or events that would help me grow

I’m serious about building solid relationships, learning the ropes, and adding value wherever I can. If you’re open to connecting, sharing tips, or potentially working together, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to learning from and contributing to the community!

Hey BP community, I'm looking into a potential flip in New York, and would love some insight from experienced investors. I'm looking to use a Fannie Mae Renovation Loan. The property is a single family home that is on sale for $179,000. I'm estimating renovation costs at around $150,000. ARV seems to be in the range of $735,000. I'd love to hear from those who have flipped in New York—what unexpected costs should I prepare for? Any contractor recommendations or lender suggestions for short-term financing? Also, how is the current demand for flips in the area? Any insights, red flags, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! 

My price point is $350,000. I like to not go above$350,000. For the condition, I'm not picky, so I don't mind looking at both turnkey properties and a fixer upper.

Hello, I currently live in Brooklyn, New York. I have a husband and 4 kids. My husband and I are looking to purchase our first investment property next year. We want to get into Real Estate Investing starting off with multifamily. We would live in one unit and rent out the other units. We looking for a 2-3 unit property. We're looking to relocate to a different state within the next 6-8 months. Does anyone have any recommendations on what state would be best to purchase a multifamily unit? We're currently looking into North Carolina and Georgia.

@Charles Walker

Thank You for that information. I never thought about reaching out to the Real Estate agent. I thought it had to be through the owner itself. When I was searching on zillow, I was strictly looking for "by owner" "distressed", etc. Thank you again!

@Charles Walker

How did you go about searching on Zillow? I've been searching but of course I'm still looking for the "right" market. I'm currently in New York, NY so I was thinking I'm better off with  virtual wholesale, but now I'm stuck on what market to look into and how to go about searching in the market.

@Jimmy Lieu I am interested in exploring the market opportunities in Columbus, Ohio. I have heard many positive reviews of this market and would like to take a deeper look into what it has to offer. I believe there are great potentials for growth within this area and would love to weigh out my options before making any decisions or investments.

Quote from @Caleb Brown:

The good part about investing where you are is the massive upswings of appreciation. I'd try that first before going to another state. The best way to get in is house hacking a 2-4 unit and utilizing FHA(3.5% down). The prices there are expensive and it is competitive. If you do look OOS you'll have to at least put 20-25% down for MF(unless you move to the state and house hack). There are many markets, Midwest is the popular trend. Happy to chat on KC, it's a great Midwest market

I would love to chat more about KC. Midwest has been at the top of my list.
