Make friends with some bank presidents, seriously.

I hope to continue to network and make new friends in the real estate community.

Since New Jersey is very tenant friendly I wanted to know if anyone has had a successful experience with actually getting your tenant out within a few months?

I was just telling my friend today that I'm getting multi-family, high performance, and relationship mentoring all in one package! 

A friend of mine had a similar journey - they turned their old home into a rental property and soon realized they loved managing tenants and exploring ways to add value.

But Mathew's comments above have given me pause, as most of my friends in the neighborhood that could afford the rent of a new condo have a car (or two).   

You should look for an "investor-friendly" PM company that knows how it is just dipping your toe into the water of buying a home/condo/townhome.. 

Here is what we have found and I will probably catch some heat for some of the things I have to say, because it does not sound "investor-friendly".

Do you build it with the intention of renting it or just for family/friend use?

I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.
