Any advice?

Readers should seek professional advice.

I am looking for some help and advice on whether or not this property seems like a smart first investment. 

I am not a realtor, so I cannot give advice as though I am one, but there are some guidelines that I have used personally over the years, with great success.

If you ever have a question or need advice, feel free to reach out.

Also if any NJ agents that are familiar with using these and transitioning out of them can reach out for some advice and education that would be great seeing that I will need an investor Friendly agent over here to help guide me through everything.

.- My advice; however, is to work with a good mortgage broker as they often have access to more lenders (B or C lenders) that might be more flexible than the 5 big banks.- Finally where to buy: in general, ON, BC are expensive while AB, QC follows and other provinces, such NB, NS, PEI are much much more affordable.
