Unfortunately, NJ is dealing with an extremely bright, albeit cunning foe.

Basically your property becomes the vessel to invest further.

A big empty vessel sitting in the ground will move, especially when it rains in the winter and the groundwater puts pressure on the pool shell.

How do you view the opposing agent in these scenarios (good, bad, friend, foe, etc)- Have there been instances where you felt the need to verify claims or information provided by the other agent?

@Joseph LumaThose look like the stair cases they use on naval vessels.

I'm looking foe help from some "boots on the ground" with narrowing down the areas I should look.I gathered some data on the Lake Somerset, Lake Bentley, and Lakeland highlands areas, but I would like to narrow down my search a little more to find good communities within those areas.

If you pay cash foe it, your money is not working hard enough, and the IRR will tell you that.  

It has been much wiser foe me to be patient and ready to act when the right deal comes along. 

Supply and demand fundamentals will remain your best investor friend or foe.

How about a vessel sink in hand-blown glass?
