Pitch yourself to the headfunds working not just on a fee or commission basis but with some equity or skin in the game.Finally you should consider commercial property as well because once residential is tapped out the next thing to do is create commercial spaces to serve the new residents.Whatever you do don't wait because it's already too late

I say this: Check-in 12Noon (flexible) ; Check-out 12Noon (Less-Flexible) - that way if they already know that they have travel plans, or disruptions, that may break that check out time, they will need to coordinate it beforehand.So a not so funny story: I had a group (of skin care product salesmen of the Eastern European variety) who broke every rule in the book.

Using an FHA or using a homestyle loan you can get into a duplex easily and even possibly a quad or tri with $20k.As for as areas:Places you don't need thick skin for but are close to where you grew up and have MFHs: Little Egg Harbor, AC, HammontonPlaces you need a thick skin for and are kind of close to where you grew up and have MFHS: Vineland, MillvillePlaces that aren't close but have really good MFHs: Gloucester City, Wildwood, Woodbury Best Luck

Having "skin in the game" will give you credibility and make the bad deals like this easier to get through with investors if they know that you too suffered personal loss.5) Be transparent and have a high level of communication with investors.
