@Dave Foster is a great resource for everything 1031 exchange.

Keep reserves for times like this.I don't know your market as I'm in SoCal, but @James Hwang is a great NJ MTR resource.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

It will easily be your most trusted resource with your specific case.2) Fema will not cover anything business-related I was told multiple times.  

I’m lucky to have a fantastic mentor who’s been guiding me with advice and tips.

Hi @Casi RiceThe most effective Agents and Loan Officers are ones that are investors themselves, highly communicative, and are a valuable resource hub.

Your drive to learn and network will be invaluable as you explore creative strategies that maximize returns and minimize upfront costs.Feel free to reach out, ask questions, and share experiences this community is a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors.

If you have any tips for me as well that would be much appreciated (just bought my first STR this fall and the quad in the spring will be my first LTR). 

If you’re feeling stuck, one tip that might help is connecting with wholesalers or local real estate agents who specialize in off-market properties in Huntsville.

Looking for:1) Market suggestions that are ~2-3 driveable hours from North Jersey.2) Any contacts I can connect with in the area.Any recommendations or tips are welcomed!
