However I haven't done anything sense and I have no direction on where to start finding the seed money. 

My properties are within 10 minutes of my house and I think it would be real tough if I could not get to them when emergencies occur or repairs are needed.I would love to hear ideas from others, though, about how you can take seed money such as you have and make a career in NJ real estate. 

Don't have to get full commitment but you can get a feel on interest level and get a seed planted for when you have a deal to show them.BTW I would also make contact with a few HMLs in your area in case you can't pull together an equity partnership but have a good deal.  

I have a feeling if he said he wanted to see more seeds on his bagel, many would say "see, SEE, he's pushing for a CRASH, it's code words"....... 

I planted the seed. 

There are 2 Golden rules to REI, and GR#1 is "Never, under any circumstances, for any reason, ever, spend you seed money (that's your cash). 

You still haven't said one thing that you bring to the table (outside of seed capital) that every...single...other...person...says that they have as well. 

“The day you plant the seed is not the day you get the fruit.”

Beliefs about money being evil are deep seeded in our brains and reinforced daily by the media.

In addition, the formal education allowed me to get a decent paying job that provided the seed money that was the bases of all my investments.
