Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I want to remain local in NJ or at most drive down 1hr to PA (self-manage or, last resort, hire a PM)However, I must also consider maintaining reserves, a safety net for my primary home, and an emergency fund.It's just hard for a new investor now :(

I am thinking about doing this full time and was wondering if there was a coach/professional i could speak with to give me an honest assessment on my current real estate portfolio?

We used to hire a company to balance the chemicals and my costs were almost 2K per month.

The facilitator’s address was in a mobile home park, and the bank account could not be verified.Inconsistent Identification: Despite receiving a copy of Chris Anderson’s driver’s license, phone number tracing showed no connection to him.Incident 2: 2nd Financial Opinion ServicesThis entity appeared more sophisticated but was equally deceptive:Authentic-Looking Documentation: The LLC was legitimately registered in Missouri, with a seemingly professional website and clean background checks.Misleading Identification: After requesting proof of legitimacy, a passport with the supposed principal's photo and corporate documents from the State of Missouri were provided.

With these additions I got comps putting the deal's ARV around 347.The punctual, timely, and professional contractors I met gave me quotes between 90-135k for my full project.

Working with Real Estate ProfessionalsLocal Real Estate Agent: Choose an agent experienced in student housing.Property Management Services: Consider hiring a property manager if you’re not local.Inspection and Appraisal: Conduct thorough due diligence to avoid costly repairs.6.

Thought about if I did scale to say 100-200 doors that I would hire another company to audit the current PM on how they're handling my properties. 

But I would be sure to look into that & speak to a tax professional up there before dumping too much time into research.

If you are only looking to create a trust to avoid probate, you could probably hire an attorney to make a revocable trust.
