Did you use a hard money loan for this? 

It's hard for most, but there are ways.

That's hard to figure out sometime.

I have not invested with them but have known Kevin for years and have seen them work hard on many deals.

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 :(

I’m definitely working hard to create a solid foundation for both my family and my investments, and it’s encouraging to connect with like-minded people who are exploring real estate as well.You’re absolutely right about Section 8 housing, the stability of cash flow is definitely a big draw for me, especially with the U.S. market being more accessible in terms of affordability compared to Canada.

With the high interest rates it hard to get much to cash flow with the traditional 30% down. 

Quote from @Kevin Hintz: I can totally relate to the tight market and how hard it is to find deals.

Very hard to find multi-family properties that cash flow in this A market. 

Where do you find "local" hard money lenders?
