New Jersey is a dense, compact place. 

Yes...I know I need an accountant, but I'm not going to be able to get one tonight or even this week, so please spare me that predictable response.

This would challenge me and force me to grow and to tap a deep reservoir of potential.I'll spare you the details of that quest of inner discovery.

. $1400/mo (a guess) for a Bonus room with 1/2 bath (150 sq. ft) to $3400/mo for a compact 3BR/1.5BA with livingroom (700 sq ft.).

We installed a water well, fencing, a compacted house pad, and built an $80k barn/workshop.Before we could start the house, I got laid off (oil & gas) and we converted about 1,000sf of the barn to living space.

One mistake I made due to having enough money to spare when first starting: My chosen marketing method for getting motivated seller leads was direct mail, and I spent a small fortune on that without really tracking and evaluating the marketing ROI, tweaking accordingly, and trying a different version.

I'll spare you the details, but the houses generate enough rent in the first 12 months or less to cover the purchase price. 

They have little money to spare right now so can't afford it on their own, and I wanted to expedite closing.I need to submit a purchase and sale agreement then go to title and escrow in about 15 days. 

We'd also like our privacy so getting a SFH and then renting out the spare bedrooms does not appeal so much either.
