Post: Wholesaling- Illegal or Legal in Jersey

Is wholesaling real estate illegal in New Jersey? I understand that Jersey is a bit more strict than other states when it comes to real estate laws and I'd love some insight on the topic!

Say your entire basement gets flooded from a storm, how big of an expense are you looking at?

@Dan Weber how often do those usually need fixing? I believe I’ve heard roof is about 20 years correct?

What are the most expensive repairs for a rental property? What're the problems you hate to hear from the inspector the most?

Good evening, everyone.  My name is Dan Bottiglieri, I'm currently a sophomore in college majoring in finance and accounting, but of course my main goal is to invest in real estate full time eventually.  I plan on getting my start by househacking a condo/house in my market then refinancing after a year and make it a fulltime investment property.  

My question is, would you be comfortable graduating college with about 75k in debt and immediately taking on a 150k or more mortgage? In best case scenario that sounds great, my tenants will be paying down my house for me and I'll be building my asset column fresh out of college but I'm not sure how I feel being 200k+ in debt at such a young age, if something goes bad in the property I could be screwing myself.
