Therefore while I occasionally have to use my lunch break to call contractors and my handyman to fix things.

We continue to see more and more local NJ investors here on the community (Union county, Essex, Morris, etc) and some of us meet up occasionally so it be great to kick off the new year with a larger meeting of BP members.Best of luck!

I occasionally find loose connections when I am called out to look at toilets.

I would be an out-of-state investor but I do make it there occasionally.

All good responses, but more importantly......you're not likely to get the property under contract for an attractive wholesaling price, when a competent agent is involved....it happens occasionally, but not often.

Buy a house(HUD houses can be some great deals occasionally), fix it up while you live there for at least 366 days to be in long term capital gains OR live in it for 24 full months as your primary residence and you can sell it tax free up to 250k (500k married).

Minor example would be a satellite dish installed where it shouldn't be, and a major example would be a huge toilet leak that has gone unreported for a long period of time.

There can occasionally be some cash flowing properties in the pine hills area, although many of those homes do not meet the 2% or the 50% rules preached on BiggerPockets.Regardless there are some opportunities for duplex investing in Albany.

Buy and hold (maybe the occasional flip for fast cash), cash flow investing.

I do some fix and flips, work as a broker and manage agents, occasionally take on listings or find property for family and friends, coach, and wholesale.
