I am going into my third year of college pursuing a degree in sales at Bowling Green State University.

For example, I can get up-to-date pictures of a property (with time stamp on it) for as low as 10$ in 24 hours, most of the time it is more expensive to grab your car and go there in person if you also count your time invested. there is a great book called "long-distance real estate investing" by David Green (you can find it in BP book store or on Amazon) which goes over a lot of those services and find solutions to long distancing investing.

If you have any questions about STRs, I HIGHLY suggest talking to @Josh Green.

If this is outside your budget, then I would suggest you look toward the Plainfields (North, South, and Plainfield) and west (Dunellen, Middlesex, Green Brook) which are on the Raritan Valley train line and are ~1hr to midtown by rail, with easy highway access to 78. 

@Jonathan Greene thanks.

Self-education through Bigger-pockets and found David Greene's Out of state investing book.

One way I'm thinking is if the note between me and my LLC shows quarterly or semi-annual payment, or some other payment terms, that would give me time to Refinance the loan without having to make any type of monthly payments to the LLC and just take care of the HELOC payments.Right about now you're probably really sorry you've been so helpful, BUT, you can tell I am very green behind the ears!!

Reading David greens book right now on long distance investing.
