So essentially you can't really judge if the opportunity is right for you because he wouldn't tell you anything about what you could expect down the road & by time you got to that point it was past the time to get your refund. 

There is a lot of inventory in Jersey City, so compared to the rest of the state, there are opportunities there for good STR operators.

There’s a real opportunity to hit those $1,500 to $2,000 rent ranges, particularly for updated homes or new construction (built to rent homes) in the right neighborhoods.

I’d like to see if there is an opportunity there. 

By analyzing metrics like average days on market over several years, I believe it’s possible to pinpoint investment opportunities in areas where specific property types (e.g., 2bd/2ba single-family homes) consistently perform well.Building on this, you can also analyze current rental rates relative to nearby "for sale" comps to estimate ROI.

I looked at numerous live-in flip opportunities.

Sharing your vision with real estate professionals, local investors, or even family and friends might uncover unexpected opportunities.

In addition, since the rule changes, it seems like many agents are delaying the whole conversation until the very last minute when the buyer has little or no opportunity to object, research, or think about what they are agreeing to, without risking losing the home they just decided to offer on.

One that I'm getting close (hopefully) to the end of, was a flip that was a public nuisance property with two lots on either side full of junk (like 10 dumpsters worth..)There was great opportunity with the house, but we bought the other lots as well and cleaned them up (as no one would ever buy the house with those lots filled with junk). 

In fact, there may be other home service opportunities with quicker growth potential worth considering.Additionally, be aware that in Texas you’ll need a broker’s license, not just a real estate license, to operate a property management business.
