I have been on New Western's deal list as well as another bigger local company and everytime I underwrite these deals there is very very minimal left on the bone let alone contingency funds for going over budget on the flip...

For example, I’m in Orlando and CFRI is the local club.

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 :(

Accessibility and local knowledge above everything else. 

Would love to connect with local investors in the area!

I’d appreciate any feedback from those who can offer advice, but I’m also curious about what specific type of attorney or local resource I should reach out to for guidance.I’ve seen references to the Garn-St.

Even with that, I think we will still be way ahead. 2 bed, 1 bath, 1200sq/ft, detached 1 car garagePurchase Price: $38,000Repairs: $20,000ARV: $96,000 (based off Zillow, but a local real estate agent thought that was pretty accurate)Mortgage: $430Insurance: $55Trash Included: $25Rent: $1,000We are now going through applications for our first tenant. 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Heck my local credit union pays 3.5% on its basic account. 

It forced me to reach out to developers, to engineers dozens of local builders and most important like minded individuals.
