If we can't be our own contractors, what can we do to get the bare minimum done. Is it possible to do interior work ourselves once the loan is in place and the funds are released from escrow?

@Ceary Williams I'm a newbie too so forgive me if I'm wrong. Its NJ in General, highest property taxes in the country.. I read a lot of people saying that its hard to cashflow in nj due to the taxes. Thats why I'm looking elsewhere.

@Deborah Pyburn Thank you!

So where I live (NJ) property taxes are too high to cashflow multifamily properties. I want to relocate and purchase a multifamily property to rehab/live in and then rent out. 

If any of you have opinions, or suggestions on specific neighborhoods, or experience with these locations that would be helpful.

Orlando, fl

Dallas, tx

Denver, co

Atlanta, ga

Memphis, tn

Nashville, tn

Las Vegas, nv

Charlotte, nc

Raleigh, nc

Miami, FL (Little Haiti)

Columbus, OH

Boise, id

Philadelphia, PA. ...

Phoenix, az

Minneapolis, mn

Detroit, MI (I personally like the motor city)

Seattle and Portland are enticing, but the Rent to Purchase Ratio is too high.

I am interested in Boise as well, a lot of west coast people are flocking there.

@Jeff Kochtanek Thank you, that is very helpful

They recently released a massive redevelopment plan for Little Haiti.

@Chris Schoonhoven Are you looking at areas in the Jersey Shore area? I am in a similar boat as you financially and based out of Monmouth Beach/Long Branch.

@Philippe Schulligen Thank you for taking the time to put that together, @Olga Roginkin thank you for the recommendation.

Any CEs or ex CEs? If so how have you applied your knowledge, experience, and skillset to real estate?
