Assessments in NJ are not done on sale, unless it's a new build or a complete renovation where the permits tip them to reassess, so every three years or so they reassess all of the properties and taxes go up most of the time.

I am very excited and nervous to start my investing journey and wanted to come onto the forums to ask for any tips or guidance before I jump in. 

Any advice, tips, or examples of how you’ve handled this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the tips!

PRO TIP: Some counties will work with you as the new "owner" on code violations.

Do you want this thing to be the tipping point for them to leave and you have turnover costs and a vacant unit? 

I would be happy to connect with other investors in the area to share tips and tricks.

I am working with several investors that are building with Black Tip.

Pro tip--make sure your exhaust fan in the bathroom is vented to the atmosphere--meaning out to the outside.....go out the roof or out the side of the unit or secured to an opening in a soffit vent grille off the house. 

I’ve included a photo for reference of the kitchen which is the main attraction of the Mass home.Now I am looking to pursue REI long-term and am looking for tips on how those more experienced in the field have operationalized and scaled the property selection process.Our thinking for this first official investment is to either acquire a duplex/triplex and add our touch or acquire a single family where an ADU can be added.
