I'm hoping a NJ broker could help here. 

And of course, getting financing squared away is key so you know your price range, which will help narrow down locations and strategies.

There are spreadsheets that can help (I do not have one).  

I hope this helps, thank you.

I actually went to a REI meetup yesterday, and I was able to find a lender to help me out.

Let me know if I can do anything to help, and good luck to you in your journey!

Hello all - Long story but any help would be much appreciated.• I purchased a small 1B/1Ba condominium in a high rise building in 2004 for personal use.• In 2010, I moved out and decided to put in in service as a rental unit.• I was able to keep it well occupied and leased throughout 2024.• I sold the condo unit in late 2024 for a nominal profit.That brings us to today. 

One year ago, I was hired to help a landlord whose tenant had stopped paying.

Inspection reports and appraisals are helpful but aren't a cure-all.
