I've noticed there isn't a REIA Chapter in Ocean/Monmouth County.Are there any local meetups....WITHOUT having to drive 1.5 hours to get there one way??

For your lake vacation rental...fishing equipment, a non motorized boat, a well stocked kitchen with all utensils and gadgets, a wine fridge or a kegorator with a craft 1/6 bbl, gas or charcoal grill, chimenea, cornhole game, a SMART tv, an accurate pellet gun with pellets or a scoped single shot .22 or .17HMR, some adult movies and a blue ray player in the master bedroom with an HDTV, bubble bath if you have a tub or jacuzzi, an indoor/outdoor sound system, some mountain bikes, binoculars, some games like trivial pursuit/electronic darts, two single shot shotguns and a skeet thrower with skeet, an outdoor firepit, a "help yourself" herb and vegetable garden, tiki lights, a small trebuchet for the kids, some basic tools like a socket set/wrenches/screwdrivers, and finally the most important thing...mosquito repellant.

Everything from Union Beach down to Highlands is pretty blue collar working class, might work for small rental properties if you can buy them and fix them up cheaply.

I would also look into blue board insulation. 

The blue sky (everything over and above the pref return) is where things get interesting.  

That being said, I interviewed Chris Gray a few weeks ago and he's targeted pricier blue chip properties and done quite well at it.

There is a good balance between blue and white collar jobs in Indianapolis. 

If nothing else, you don't want to just roll over when they out-of-the-blue send you a large bill.
