Quote from @Pixel Rogue: Personally, I think you are over-thinking this.

Some manufacturered companies treat it as personal property not real property.

depending on where you are in NJ you might have the Lehigh Valley in PA a couple hours away, or Delaware, etc. you can go to meetups, see places in person, and start to build a network.

@Michael Plaks comments in this recent post on making sure the person you hire understands real estate sounds really relevant to your situation.  

The energy in person is different for me, and I've made some of my best connections and friends at Chicago meetups.Here is a list of the Chicago event from BP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of ALL THE CHICAGO MEETUPS that I am happy to share with you. 

I do know coaching/mentoring/selling programs can be good money, especially if a person knows how to market themselves or has a bit of prior exposure.

I have personally purchased large apartment complexes from REITs and know how poorly some of them manage their properties. 

As of October 2024, 75% of remote work employees now have some sort of in-person work requirement, up from 63% in 2023 (Source).

Real estate investing is forgiving; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

So I don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time I hire a new person.
