Hi Vanessa, I’ve been trying to find something, anything to verify if this law is actually being challenged in court.

I like to look for board orders, excessive fines for weeds/grass, stop orders, and unsecured premises. 

How many properties do the owners actually own themselves?

It is actually better to start with a slower season and welcome expensive guests when you know what you are doing. 

We’d actually love to invest in Bergen County NJ, but the numbers just don’t seem to check out at the moment.Also, thanks for the reminder not to rush into something just to do a deal. 

Approx 5 commercial  properties with total combined value book value 12m .. actual maybe 20-25m?

My wife actually is somewhat open to the idea of investing in Japan though.

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

That actually is not the goal of most people.
