Since you're in Central Jersey, I'll keep my advice general.First, think about your personal strengths and how they fit into your investment strategy.

I personally love the Cleveland market for its cash flow.

Remember to leverage tools like Bigger Pockets' forums, podcasts, and webinars to stay updated on market trends and investment strategies.Your journey in real estate is unique and personal.

i do not know anything about this person you are referencing but i never understand these types of questions. 

I have read a few books and thought the person should have consulted a professional instead of an "Editor".  

A benefit to having the commercial property and entity is that we aim to utilize business credit, so that our personal credit and debt to income ratio is not tanked as we remodel or redesign or buy furniture. 

Avail also threw in customizable applications, leases, a personalized website, etc., for which I rarely found use, though.Fast forward after a few years of use.

That is why designations are very important to me.As far as vetting, NARPM does do vet certain things about a person (licensing for example) and they do have a process where a person can file a complain through them about a member (much like the Board of Realtors).

Personally ilI suggest that you serve the notice to pay or vacate yourself, but call in legal support for the eviction.
