If you have that experience, you probably don't need much marketing, as sellers will be reaching out to you directly.Focus on securing one listing at a time and building momentum.

I have some other questions for you to build context if so.

Things like the 1% rule right off the bat, especially with properties that I know are undervalued, are good indicators of a "good deal."  

It’s a little more work to set up, but if you get a solid property manager, it’s not as scary as it sounds.If I were you, I’d keep digging into the Capitol region, NJ, and CT—compare the numbers, and maybe even start building connections with agents or wholesalers in those areas.

Wish they would build houses with this style of architecture still.

Typical equity build up time is 5 years, depending on your market.But can you purchase another rental using your own capital?

Same as you wouldn't only invest in one stock (or the stock market), diversifying allows you a bit of a safety net in case one goes down.With real estate a lot of people focus on cash flow, but remember tenants are paying down your mortgage for you and helping you build equity and over time (eg 5-10 years) your house will also appreciate in value.

We did this because initially we were just going to build/sell, but I would rather hold on to it.

Start running numbers on potential deals to get more comfortable, and build out your team—like a CPA, property manager, and lenders.

I recently came across 1 acre asking for 314k in a very good residential and growing location, so the current owner has added 4 manufactured homes with 4 electrical meters, 4 septic tanks and only 1 water meter for all 4 homes, the homes are sitting on partial slab and partial pier & beam, he also added 2 storage sheds approx. 380sqft with the intention to make them ADUs they are still only the shell so I would have to get those ready to live in, so currently the 4 manufactured homes are being rented and bringing in 2800k a month, 3 of the homes are needing some TLC which could increment rents and possibly get me at 3600k a month, also being a 1ac lot this still leaves about 12,000sqft of raw land where you could build etc.So that is on the good side now the things I did not like so much, the lay out is poorly executed to where it makes it looked crammed up and not professional but it could be fixed.Another is that in reality there is only 4 livable units so that qualifies under a conventional loan but since they're are 6 units on the property the banks are wanting to take it as a commercial so we would have to move out the 2 storage sheds out in order to close as conventional.Another concern, technically you are only allowed to have one manufactured house or single wide in your property according to what I know but I know it could change according to zoning which I will investigate, so my question is has all this been accounted for and if so how can I verify it so it wont leave me in a bind further down the road, I currently asked my agent for the appraisal of the property to see if that might verify.Any recommendations?
