I assume the first house hasn’t appreciate much if at all and that’s why you didn’t sell it and take the tax free gain that could take 10+ years to overcome as a rental?

Tell everyone you know you want to get into it and that you will work for free.

Be sure to explore all around the forums as well as many of the FREE tools that Bigger Pockets provides.I am on the lending side of things and am always happy to hop on a call to discuss loan options that are out there, even if not offered by my resources. 

Curb appeal for higher-end properties will be much more important, especially when it comes to marketing - most ads and main listing photos feature the front of the property.In this case, I would consult with a professional - i.e. landscape designer or stager.

It is very simple and cheaper to set up the LLC in NJ vs NY ($50 vs $200 when going on the state website) what is still an open question is I also need an operating agreement for the LLC once set up, wondering if that is also free as part of just getting the LLC set up on the state website or if I need to use a lawyer or a legalzoom type of service to do that.
