My name is Ashley and I’m looking to provide value as a bird dog by helping investors find off-market deals in areas like Trenton, Hamilton, Hightstown, East Windsor, and Princeton.My goal is to learn, grow, and build lasting relationships with investors in my local market.

It's usually best to talk with your neighbors about your plans and get their support as one of the variance tests is that the requested relief does not cause a public health issue or alter the essential character of the neighborhood.Try googling "tests for a variance in [your state]" and talk with your local zoning department.

I think the important takeaway is that you need to know what's going on in your local market.

Instead you will cash flow right out of the gate and appreciation is faster in those states with TLC properties or adding things like an ADU, or Carriage home on a bigger lot.Most of my investors that live in CA purchase in those states listed above and in most cases its easy to introduce them to local Seasoned realtors Contractors, Handy Men/Women that can help them save money and feel secure about the distance from home to REI.

The wider local region also seems to have a lot of tourist draw.
