Much like other markets in the Midwest, investors go to our market because of the low barrier to entry.

John I rented a 4 plex i remodled in charleston as the flip market had slowed.. the tax's on it were substantially higher than an owner occ property.. could be the rates were different this was a 1.2 mil prop..

Have you looked into the markets you want to be in?

I used a hard money loan to purchase this off market deal.I rehabbed the upper two units within two and a half weeks and have a renter already lined up for one unit.

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $38,000 Another flip ready in the market. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4467-Sims-St-Columbus-GA-31907/76572533_zpid/

I think our modeling has adapted to market changes over the years, so we've stuck with Excel as we can easily change the parameters to keep it "fresh".

Since it is a family member and I would potentially buy the property for under market value.

Where are the best markets to target in and/or near NJ in 2025?

I use Facebook marketplace as my way of marketing my rentals.
