Hey guys given my current situation I won’t be able to attend a normally offered class for the NJ Realistate sales person criteria I do however qualify as a disabled vet. Under this program if I attend 75 hours at an accredited college or university for credit I could apply for a waiver. My question who offers a corse that fits the criteria? Can it be done online?

Oklahoma is the base location for all FAA schooling and training as well as having low taxes and low property cost it seems like a good idea. This business is real now it’s called Kim’s place in OKC her web page sucks but every one in the agency knows the location. I think the Perdiem is more like 59 a day but the establishment has a food and supply thing they do and offer to fill your cabinets for the 59 of course they take a cut also. I was using 39$ a day because that is what they charge for no add on services so that would be the worst case. Also this is long term Perdiem anything over 16 days. Short term Perdiem is much more in that same location it’s 95 a day and they offer rooms for that also. I was just going on the cookie cutter base price to ease of evaluation and worst case profit. I was hoping some one could tell me I’m way off on my housing price and list all the things I’m overlooking.

Ok guys so I went to a school in Oklahoma City for a government job. The first time I was there I spent three months the second time I spent one month. There are hundreds of people who go to this schooling at a time. Each student receives around 39$ a day for housing. This one family owned a small development of duplexes each half house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and the family will rent each half house to three students. So simple math 39$ a day per student times 3 students is 117 a day and 3,510 a month. Times that by 2 for the entire dwelling $7,020 a month. The houses are fully furnished and they supply some supplies as well as a gym, free golfing at a local gulf club, and frequent parties and BBQs. Please blow some wholes in this business plan because after running some rough numbers I’m trying to evaluate if I can work something like this out. Housing price in OKC is low. I’m thinking when this town was built the houses were in the 170k range and today they would be 210k per dwelling. ( If I’m way off please tell me, OKC is not my market) I think they own 30 houses but for easy math let’s start with 10. That’s 2,100,000$. Each unit makes $7,020 a month and $70,200 for all 10 houses in a month, or 842,400$ a year. Now we know our all in is 2,100,000 and our yearly gross potential is 842,400. Figure in 10% for vacancy’s, 10% for capex, 10% for repairs, 10% contingency. That’s 40% = 336,960 expenses leaving $505,440 as net profit before mortgage. Monthly mortgage estimate is 1,516$ per unit, $15,160 for all ten units each month. and 181,920 a year. That leaves $323,520 as profit. Please blow my idea up. I’m trying to make sense of a current business that has been going for years now and I feel like they are killing it. But maybe you wiser guys than I can bring me back to earth.

thank you for the very clear and informative response. I still plan to contact a lawyer but I wanted to gain this information before walking Into the conversation blind.

Just as the title states Do I need a license to market a sandwich lease option in NJ.

I'm looking at a property that I would like to sadwitch lease option but I'm curious if I market the property for rent am I doing the job of a property manager and in my state a property manager needs a license.

Or am I close enough as the owner where I can market my own property.

I do not want to buy notes and I don't want to joker broker or any other name you have for it.
You answered my question by saying you can't contact the seller. I figured the tape has all the info showing if the house is underwater,  and if it is not underwater and the seller can't make payments then that seems like a very motivated seller who would want to sell before the bank wants to foreclose.

This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. 3 out of the 5 houses I looked at I was able to get a mailing address from ( who knows if it's current but it's better than I had before) 2 of the other ones it showed the owners mailing address the same as the property address however I drive past one of the two property's every single day for the past year and there are no lights on a small bathroom window is cracked open in the middle of winter and there are no window shades. I'll have to dig some more.

Thank you

HEY GANG,

Ive been collecting addresses of distressed property's in cape may county NJ where I live. Now I'm having a hard time trying to skip trace the home owner. The property's appear vacant so I need to find a mailing address. I was trying to go the free rout like tax records but I haven't had luck finding the right tax websight for the county. Can someone point me in the right direction. Specifically cape may county, lower township, middle Township new Jersey

Hey William, I live in Brigantine. We tried the REI meetings and they were a bust. I'm worried about trying to wholesale here as, I do not think it would be difficult to get something under contract, I worry about finding a cash buyer. Seems like the economy is dying here as the casinos die and the investors are few and far between. We have a buy and hold duplex in Brig, we live in one unit and rent the other. We have another investment property in Lancaster, PA. We wanted to continue to invest here at the shore, but it just didn't make sense. Property taxes are too high and rents are too low. Let me know if you have any good luck!

I was thinking the same thing about the area. Not many cash buyers or people willing to sell at a discount. The casinos going under and the other casinos in North NJ possibly going in even further driving this area into the ground. You don't know until you try. I'm going to work on my legality such as contracts such as seller, buyer, joint venture, so if any one has a contract that is working for then in New Jersey please send it my way I would love to see whats working. 

I also have a post in the deal analysis forum for a property in wild wood as a vacation rental Air B&B for summer and winter off session rental. If you are familiar with the islands and anilizing property your input would be appriceated.
