Also, we need to get you to start coming to the BCS investor meet-ups! 

I may need to purchase something that numbers do not meet my normal criteria.

I will be in meetings and if my ringer was left on it's just constant.

When I was a kid my dad hauled me around with him for years doing his RE sales calls and meetings with his RE attorney.

Ideally, you know every cabinet placement, tile selection, etc when you meet the contractor for bids.  

There are a lot of real estate investing meetups in Northern NJ where you can meet other investors, talk about areas, and learn.

I know there are a lot of professionals in the suburb that I am looking that need a place to meet clients but don't necessarily want to go to their downtown offices regularly.

You don't want to put yourself in a position where you are paying down two forms of debt for one property unless that property consistently cash flows to meet those numbers and has a low vacancy. 

Do look up REIA meetings in your area and start attending them.
