My guess is that our situation is different; different end goals, W2 income, home prices, market conditions, strategies, etc... but I can share my journey and what I look for in my current market along with prices. 

If you are hoping that this property will stand on its own with you living in it and not having to put your active income into it, then it might not be the best option for you right now. 

Hello Shelly, Good luck on your journey. 

I don't know how many BP members in active status down here near Northfield or further south but I would be interested in meeting them as well.

In Central Jersey where the majority of our sales activity is, the towns vary widely in enforcement of this. 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

This PM company has also been an active seller on Roofstock.

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..

Criminal activity is not a protected class and actual values and opinion of values and their trajectory is just data, right?

Can you wholesale a deal that is active with a real estate agent?
