I inherited a partnership in a 22 unit commercial building with 8 restaurants, a grocery store, a couple of personal care services, and various other businesses.

I typically don't comment on other's businesses unless I know from personal experience.

I use it for my personal portfolio as well.

My personal property is located in pennsylvania and my friends who are foresters have told me I have oak and hickory that are 250 years old which is unheard of in PA. if I were you.

You’re still going to be personally sued when something goes wrong. 

@Pranita Maldikar Unless the seller is a family member or personal friend, I'm not sure why you'd want to put that much money down on the property.

It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.

For funding, explore options like FHA loans, personal savings, or creative financing, and focus on New Jersey markets that align with your goals, such as Newark for rentals or commuter towns for house hacking.

Probably not a good person to hire, maybe let your bosses know. 

A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.
