I sold everything and bought a $1,000 beat up car for transportation and used all the money for a down payment to get into my first deal.

I politely informed him that it was public record, thanked him for letting know the house was not for sale, and apoligized for bothering him.

If this is a one time shot then fly your friend in but remember housing him costs, transportation daily to work, food costs, airfare etc.

@James WiseAnother great idea is if the city has online code violations that are available to the public to vIew .look up code violations on propertIes that are distressed wIth burnout landlords

This is a public forum. 

Be careful what you say in a public forum.  

I've posted the NJ "Truth in Renting" link many times. https://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/codes/public...You cannot ever unilaterally end a lease in NJ, even a MtM.

Since then, I've done a lot of listening to BP podcast, reading BP publications, and LOTS of scheming. 

I dont like the following::Busy street, lots of steps, next to commercial or industrial, houses on either side are in very poor condition, very high taxes, certain construction styles and materials, on street parking, being far from transportation or main highways.These ideas above are just a few but the main ones.

The town is doing a lot in terms of development/ improvement of public spaces.
