@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

That's how you care for your friends and family. 

As I said usually when companies cant cut checks right away its some sort of cash flow issue.

Is it smart to just sell, pull equity to put towards the new house or use the potential rent to put towards the new home payments once the rental overhead is taken care of?

Here is NJ: https://www.njoag.gov/about/divisions-and-offices/office-of-...And then you could contact SEC Enforcement: https://www.sec.gov/submit-tip-or-complaintI have found that a carefully written letter to the Syndicator, alerting him that you are suspicious, will get you a quick refund . . . under certain conditions.

However, you have to be extremely careful financing 100% of the transaction as you still need reserves, closing costs, etc. and make sure it cash flows.You didn't mention if this would be a rental or owner occupied. 

This is the list to not invest in without extreme careful attention to detail.Don't go where the masses are going.

I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

Can't say for sure, but I'd be careful.

To be brutally honest i don't care if it's at cost, below or above, I only care what it is exactly and how much.
