Congrats - you won the investment game!

NJ is very diverse in many ways and there are areas that are tenant friendly and urban and there are areas with few tenants.

Price fair, don't get greedy, play the long game.

No (institutional) lender will finance 100% of your purchase price as a purchase, all lenders want "skin in the game".

I’m new to the real estate game.

No, its a whole new ball game with AI.

"Getting in" is easy; making money, managing the business, with the increased financial risk of commercial properties is a whole different game. 

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

Since you already know the metrics in the fix & flip game, this might be an avenue for you to consider.

For C/C- neighborhoods you usually need to scale to 10+ doors; it's a numbers game.
