I wanted to share what just happened with me these last couple of months, and could desperately use some guidance to get back on track.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how long this trend might last and what might be driving it in your area.

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

The last lender I’ve tried to get a pre-approval had a, imo, patronizing response saying,”Although lots of people talk on social media about buying a three or four unit property with only 3.5% down in practice it almost never works.”All lenders who I’ve tried to give a pre-approval for has tried to sway me to switch to a 5% conventional instead.

I was briefly with realize properties, ERA, and lastly went with Heart and Home.

I am trying to purchase a mobile home park that is already in a system of Mobile home parks that profit 87 percent for the last 15 years.

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 mentioned these in my last post, Design Trends for 2025.

What's the last deal you found in Newburyport?

Hey @Aaron Bard, I met a bunch of them at the BP conference last year, they are legit.
