Oh yeah, it opens an artery on them, because the better DOMESTIC economy goes local small business wins. 

But that is the key with investing, you need to have your educated guess of future events, place your bet, and hope you are right.

Admittedly I am new-er to the Valley, but from driving all over it, it seems that the West Valley is going crazy...they are building as fast as they can. 2 new chip factories and tilt-ups everywhere.I'd bet on the West Valley if it were me....

In fact, there are even financial markets that specifically bet on future levels of the Fed Funds Rate (unsurprisingly called "Fed Funds Futures").These futures correlate very well with certain bond yields which, in turn, correlate very well with mortgage rate movement.

Still in the earliest phases but my cost is relatively low so a win/win is high probability.

Wholesaling, when done right, can be a win-win for everyone involved, and my goal is to ensure that happens through transparency and education.

Hopefully their deposit is higher than the damage, but if not, you can document everything and try small claims court, but honestly it is not worth your time as you are unlikely to see the money if you win.

Do not go and invest out of state because people come into the forum and try to convince you to work with them on these goals (so ridiculous), you aren't ready for that and you have a good foundation somewhat locally.Your best bet, if you can't move, is to keep investing outside of New Jersey and stay close to your current property.

For that I'd say Title Closing Agents, if someone called in my markets and spoke with my primary ones about who does these "jazy" things I bet they'd point me out, or would at least pass on your info.
