The Garden State group meets once a month in Summit, NJ and there is also a meetup in NYC.

I also did a flip in Pearl City - I think it was Waiau Gardens - where the LH owner was behind in his lease rent (or mortgage - can't remember, maybe both) and I bought the fee at the same time, effectively canceling out the LH.

Welcome @Sean Esdaille have you done some deals in Winter Garden 

I started investing when I lived near the Botanical Gardens and knew South City pretty well.

Learn from home- need more space- families with kids need spaceSafety and elevators- don't want to be in that spaceMass city transit and density- don't want to be in that spaceCrime- more safety outside of the cityOutdoor space for gardening-  lots of urban gardeners now almost overnight. 

Garden style?

I used the following to calculate expenses: 5% vacancy, 1.16% property tax, 5% of effective gross income for repairs/maintenance , 10% property management, abt $1,100/yr gardening & utilities and $1000/year for insurance).

Because the hot water tanks and furnace/ac are in the 3 units themselves, the basement is huge and empty.I see a lot of garden units used as airbnb properties, and sectioning off some space and turning it into a little furnished apartment wouldn't be too difficult.

A pot garden?
