For auctions and sheriff sales, building relationships with local auctioneers and monitoring county websites can be great starting points — wishing you success in growing your portfolio!

I’m fairly new to the BP forums and BP site in general, But I have been very active on the podcasts and books stacking education and knowledge in the real estate field. 

I ask because I've interviewed a number of general contractors over the years for my various real estate projects and am shocked at how the vast majority showed up to the job site to give an estimate in a vehicle that did not display their contractor license number or business name.Aside from this one issue, they'd often have great portfolios, long list of successful permits I could verify they pulled, great references, no complaints on their license, and had been licensed for over a decade.

There are a lot of local real estate investor meetups in Northern NJ that you can find in the events forum here and on other sites.

Hey @Zach Rumfield, well you are in the right forum as all of us here operate some kind of STR on both VRBO and AirBNB along with other sites!

I would appreciate it if you could please contact me directly, since I believe that BP rules prohibit posting recommendations of this sort on the website.

So be careful and make sure you interview the Expediter and that they have had success in obtaining the Letter of No Objection.As far as evidence that you need to gather, look up your buildings TAX Class.You will find it here: Building Information SearchHere you will see something that looks like this:NOTE that while this is a Dept of Buildings Web Portal, what I have circled in RED is the Department of FINANCE Building Classification.You may not have a CofO, but the Dept of Finance maybe taxing you as a 2 Family.

Does anyone know of a site or common place to meet investors and rehabbers to make a deal with.

Welcome to the site.

State websites will have it in their revised codes.Look at Sutton, MA (and the county it resides) to see if anything else is on top of this.
