If you are free after 230p, find something else real estate related to work at for a handful of hrs a few days a week and stockpile that cash.Lastly, NJ is a great market and there are multiple spots in south NJ that #s still work and aren't completely in War Zones.

I work full-time as a CPA audit manager at a Big 4 public accounting firm, and in my free time I would love to help and learn from an experienced investor with strategies similar to what I’m interested in (appreciation, single family (potential multi family), mid-term rental (potential short-term)).Open to any advice as well on how to make my first leap into actual investing!

Feel free to reach out directly if you want to talk anything through.  

@Brandon Vukelich: I totally agree: STRs provide the cash flow I need, but policy risks and market saturation make me want to diversify.

But not trying to go that legal route but they want a full years of free rent about 30K smh!

@Terra PadgettSo I get what you are saying, but I don’t know if I totally agree with you.  

Thanks, appreciate it   Feel free to use your thread as a sounding board.
