There are a lot of deals to be done with them if you can adapt to their process and accept they will be very slow. 

All being said, most real estate investors advocate that the earlier you can take action and acquire your first deal, the quicker you'll learn.

I always have a "hold 1st" mentality - you might have to leave a few more dollars in the deal but at least you'll have it in your portfolio.

I'm thinking the agent/broker would find the deals for me and the property manager would deal with tenants and their requests.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

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.

First let me say I am not an attorney, but my other business deals with medial transport so I have seen a lot of these issues...In Oregon there are service dogs or not.

We still find buyers (and renters) that like open to a degree but want / need the office space for remote or hybrid work arrangements.When dealing with a market that does not have huge spreads on properties, one needs to define what is really important versus what is nice to have and see if the math works. 

Do we try to just buy a modest house through foreclosure or some other screamin' deal, house hack, then build up our portfolio from there?

Number 1, Always tell the truth and deal fairly.
