I would not suggest white walls, I did it once with a rental and there were finger prints and scuffs everywhere (of course, part of it was picking bad tenants :))))

That being said, I don't think NJ is dying any time soon, I am up in Somerset County where taxes are nuts and I am definitely continuing to invest, about to buy my 4th deal (fingers crossed it gets accepted!)

I'm in a position (fingers crossed) where I don't need to borrow for these.

My poor fingers got tired of typing the same thing over and over, so I put my tips and tricks in a blog post.

You'll be restricted to a certain budget per month or year and constantly checking your $700k investment portfolio crossing your fingers and toes hoping we don't fall into a recession. 

A lot of listening to gurus and ‘sentiments’ finger waving in the air.

It is getting your forms filled is the chapllenge.And in order to do this you need to dive deep into the phsycology of things.Yes talk is cheap, so let me show you.All these leads, are free, completely motivated, that want to sell to not just anyone, no, they SPECIFICALLY want to sell to ME, I don;t lift a finger, don't pay a cent, all on autopilot reliable.Do you really think you will get this "just" by ranking #1?

Do they point fingers and blame others or do they take accountability and acknowledge what they would do differently?

If u keep the vault u may end up loosing a finger.
