I am currently looking in the markets I invest in which are the urban towns in NJ, Newark, Irvington, East Orange, and Elizabeth where I have a good local knowledge of the market.

Elizabeth Colegrove , I will call my mortgage guy at the bank to see if I can get a 5% down conventional loan.

Elizabeth Colegrove highlights the prospects of the opportunity well in her post above. 

Thanks @Elizabeth ColegroveThat's a great idea. 

@Elizabeth Colegrove we've has so much fun with it and definitely recommend Airbnb to other adventurous landlords! 

@Elizabeth C: How did you manage to find a lender that only requires 15% down on investment properties?  

@Elizabeth GomezI cannot post the link here because of self-promotion but if you want to DM me; I will send you our Meetup info.

In Manhattan and prime Brooklyn and Queens the seller customarily pays both the seller's and buyer's agents and there is customarily no buyer's broker's agreement.

It shouldn't be Montgomery Burns.It should be Welfare Queen/King.

(Thank you to @Elizabeth Faircloth for helping to set this all up.)Matt was able to give us so many actionable tips and was a great sport despite the late hour on his end (past midnight) and technical difficulties on our end.
