I had the listing on Avail (which I use as a rental manager, and posts to many other popular rental sites), Zillow, and Facebook Marketplace.I already have a Section 8 tenant at Property #1 (which I acquired during the purchase), so I'm not opposed to the program at all, and to be honest, they pay above market rent in my area, so that worked for me.

I will say that the borrower has a better chance to negotiate on the fees, interest and when they are to be paid with a private individual lender as opposed to a hard money style lender (that has more overhead).

No one arguing for rent control, rent stabilization, or "just cause" nonsense understands basic economic concepts, and holds beliefs that are fundamentally opposed to the principles of liberty and freedom, upon which the US was founded.It would be great if we could just laugh along with them at the joke, but their efforts and scare tactics are still getting implemented and causing long-term harm.  

Sounds like capex as opposed to operating expenses which are usually left out of NOI for all asset classes. 

I'm not super familiar with the NJ market, but I know for the price point, within 1hr of NYC can yield a lot of good options in Jersey as opposed to NY. 

Would you replace a current functioning 1000 gal septic tank to a 1250 gal tank in order to list my flip as a 4 bedroom as opposed to a 3 bedroom.

@Brent Coombs have you run the numbers to see the difference in interest payments from using the HELOC strategy opposed to a conventional mortgage while paying extra each month towards principal?

If you are self-employed, there are specific loan programs designed for self-employed persons as opposed to conventional W-2 financing. 

A case could likely be made for considering making a larger down payment with a self-directed IRA or 401k as opposed to abandoning the account, getting hit with taxes and penalties immediately, and losing its tax advantages moving forward.

Nashville should certainly be there - regs (but well regulated, predictable) and is the favorite trip for pretty much all SEC Schools (best city by far in SEC, drivable distance, Vanderbilt sells out typically >2/3 of the stadium to opposing fans, etc.)
