You can probably do it in areas without zoning or farmland, but it is very difficult in a traditional residential zone.Your best bet is to look for areas along busier roads that are currently residential and turning commercial or already turned commercial with lingering residential.

You could also partner with another agent who can drive, splitting commissions in exchange for helping with the logistics.On the job front, networking is key.

If you're using all cash then obviously that's not an issue.Another thing to consider is if the land has deed restrictions, checking on the city website or MLS would be your best bet there.I'd love to learn more about what you're trying to do and maybe be able to help answer any questions you might have!

I'm looking to 1031 exchange that into an investment over here in Florida.

If they did a 1031 exchange they will retaining a tax deferred status.

Can I use a 1031 exchange to sell property in "my name", put the funds with a QI who then purchases new property in the name of an LLC I form with someone else?

I do agree that mechanical upgrades are a good idea if necessary, those are almost always a safe bet for ROI and resale-ability.

I have some questions regarding 1031 exchange in New Jersey.

I bet you do a great job rehabbing!
