Engaging with other investors, agents, attending meetups/conferences in the area will definitely help you grow your network. 

I was finally able to obtain the zoning permit after attending a new hearing before the ZBA in May 2024 and the received the documentation in July (I also don't understand why it took two months to receive the paperwork).

I am currently watching lots of videos and attending webinars when I can.

I really should have had someone with a bucket truck or a couple younger guys.

@Angela HartHave you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

The lease is not up for a couple years; however, the USPS has submitted a proposed lease to me for the next 5 years.

Learn how to analyze a deal, get in contact with some wholesalers/agents and attend walkthroughs and do a "sample analysis" after showings once you get a better idea of rehab costs.

You can kick that capex can down the road a couple years, but not forever

DM me and I can send you the schedule online for them if you want to come North, but I am also happy to connect you with a couple investors right in your area who are active and go to meetups in Monmouth.

I would recommend getting a couple DSCR quotes, a couple conventional quotes if you want, and go with the numbers that help you sleep best at night.
