As an investor, if I speak to a real estate agent, I expect them to be knowledgeable on their area.  Are there rental in the area of interest, SFHs or multifamilies, cost to purchase, expected rents, tenant profile, source of income, growth... things like that.

In the long distance real estate investing book by David Greene he describes hiw to recognize a realtor who is a rock start.  Read that book and learn those traits.

I hope this helps.

If a HELOC is not an option, I think you should look into an unsecured personal loan in a bank or credit union.

That is so nice. I also have been looking foward making connections with local real estate investors in New Jersey. I will send you a message.

  I think looking for areas in New Jersey with a high number of commuters will help you with a higher demand, and decrease your property vacancy.

  Hello @Jess Sanchez,

. You should open a HELOC first while waiting for the right time to purchase your investment property. Opening a HELOC can take a few months and that could delay your property purchase.

.  I hope this helps!

Thank you @Brian Liscio. Do you know how I can find more information?

Hello everyone! 

Are there any in person meet ups in North Jersey anytime soon?

Do you know if North Jersey has a REIA?

Thank you!
