Are you investing in some form of digital marketing, direct mail, or other outbound lead generation? 

Lastly, understand that America is a FREE MARKET. 

I don't operate in the Bay Area but from my experience operating MTRs in different markets large companies use third party placement companies or have large contracts with large housing providers.

Being in NJ, market is super competitive, so need to figure out how I can maximize the profit.

Most of the leads you generate via cold calls, social media, and other marketing efforts won't transact or even meet with you for some time.Baseball players take dozens of swings in batting practice to prep for just 2-3 good pitches they'll see come gametime.

I’ve been learning about the industry / different regional markets for the past few years and am eager to execute my first deal in the near term and continue growing through this community.My primary goal is to purchase a property I can live in while generating rental income (e.g., a single-family home with a tiny house, a duplex, or a single-family property where I can install a tiny house).

I would change that mindset and connect with successful investors in your market.  

Can you help me out and point me in a direction for lending for beginners in this market? 

Hey Daniel,We specialize in market rate rents and don't wade in the section 8 market but having a good property management company is paramount to placing good tenants and setting the right expectations for how the rental property should be treated while the tenant is living there. 

I hear you, but the powers that be made a decision.
