@Anthony MillerYour property management experience is a major advantage as you start investing, giving you a head start with tenant screening, lease agreements, and maintenance coordination.

I screen individual dogs (of any breed) with an in-person evaluation before accepting their owners as my tenants.  

I know I'll have to do major screening but seems to be very successful/passive as someone who at one time had 200 section 8 SFR rentals.. there is a lot of miss information about the program..

We screen heavy and have never not got paid.

Expect a 4-5 year down/flat market before a slow climb up.

As long as you are in a decent area and do proper screening, you will be fine in NJ. 

You don't need a mortgage broker, just a reputable, competent direct lender that will ask the important questions upfront to properly screen your deal.

Tell the PMC to screen *thoroughly* for quality tenants even if it takes a bit of time.

Work out a fair revenue-sharing model, such as a flat lease or percentage of profits, and consider hiring a property manager for oversight.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
