I have a friend who runs a meetup over in Springfield, OH which is about 30 min away.

One of my best friends paid cash for a "handyman's special" trailer in 2021 for $9k.

Many investors who are in a similar position in my market (another HCOL/tenant friendly area) choose 1 of 3 options.1.

Otherwise, he can give you notice and move in with family or friends.

Friendly reminder you can do a Conventional loan 95% LTV to purchase a home for them.

Then, narrow down from there and reach out to an investor-friendly agent you can find on the BP agent finder. 

Investors should be extremely cautious with Qualified Intermediaries that also represent (and get paid on) replacement property solutions or Qualified Intermediaries that refer clients to their "associates" or "friends" for replacement property solutions so that they can get paid a referral fee or those that actively put replacement property solutions together in order to make money.  

I am interested in looking at out of state investment opportunities as the high cost of living in NJ really does make it very investor friendly at the moment. 

Further, I as a matter of course, place a “friendly” lien on all properties I buy for cash, so there was little equity in the condo.  

Sure the site is a little out-dated in appearance but it is so user-friendly and although it isn't my highest producing lead source, I do tend to get very strong leads from there and no spam so far.
