The moment I realize how stupid it was I stopped reading. 

We are a one stop shop for PM, sales, maintenance, etc... 

Stop.

Any way  so in a short hand way I agree with you on stopping to smell the roses when your young enough to do it.. but many simply dont have those choices they choose a job that they must keep at until they can retire and maybe  a week vacation to Hawaii or go party at Vegas is some highlights. 

lately, I’ve been thinking about many different strategies regarding real estate.I originally did wholesaling for a few months but ended up stopping bc it just took up too much of my time especially with my full time job.second, I thought of having rentals but I was hesitant bc I live in NJ & the rental laws here aren’t the greatest and it’s hardly any deals that can justify for the rent to cover the mortage in this expensive market.Right now ive been thinking about possibly flipping properties in my own back yard NJ or possibly out of state where home prices are much lower in certain markets.Anyone have advice if I should possibly flip properties where I live in NJ (blue state) or possibly go into another market and flip virtually..?

I'd probably stop investing completely and focus on debt paydown, and DP savings. 

I tried using this sites "Find a Lender" form, but it stopped me from moving fwd once I didn't meet the 20% down criteria.Scenario: Bank Owned property at auctionSales price/offer/bid: $270kRehab: $85kARV: $500kAm I barking up the wrong tree going down this path?

I'd venture to say that for 95% of the investors I've met, their LLCs would be completely worthless if they were to be used. 

Have you ever partnered with others on real estate ventures?
