We have a great GC whom we're meeting with soon, so really appreciate that perspective, as I'd been considering doing it myself.

Since I’m holding these properties for the long term (30-year loans), I’ll have fully paid-off assets around the same time I’d traditionally start withdrawing from my 401(k).

I'd say it depends on the local market, but it's very common to have at least a stove and refrigerator in a rental unit.

Although im not sure those every realy existed in the first place.  

I'd be happy to connect and answer any questions you might have. 

For location, since you’re based in New Jersey but looking to invest out of state, I’d focus on landlord-friendly markets where rental demand is strong.

Low/no code options work on some websites (I'd say 15%) and they are never cheap/free in the mid to long term.I have built tools for over 400 county records, courts, notice websites to get this data if you have questions about approaching 3 feel free to ask.

I'd love to connect and see if you have any opportunities that you are aware of.Thank you,Alberto

The easiest way to find and connect with wholesalers is either bigger pockets or by googling "sell my house fast in (town name)" although that may cost them a click for google ads.

My girlfriend and I are looking to get into Multifamily real estate investing and have also looked into the possibility of house hacking, although a good affordable property seems to be tough but not impossible in this area.
