That makes it tough on landlords...well at least that rule is prohibited now.   

These will have mass competition so getting under market value is tough in most places.   

they determined that a lot of the theft was from the workers that worked for the contractors and new the lock box codes coming back and stealing stuff or telling their cousins etc. 3. pull into gas station and have to lock your car when you leave and head on a swivel  or simply do not buy gas there at all to dangerous. its these type of things the locals are raised with and us OUT of state folks have no clue about especially if we were not raised around that environment we simply dont know what we dont know.. 

You'll want to have the confidence of data to back up your decision when the going gets tough.

My family had rental property when I grew up so I've at least been exposed to making repairs between-tenant and all the other fun landlord tasks.With that said, it seems the current market, at least in my area is pretty tough to get the numbers to work, single family especially.

My credit history is not great (missed couple of payments few years back) and I am having tough time securing a loan (borrowing close to million dollars).

If so, is there anything to stop someone from getting a GC license and getting insured, then subbing out all the work to uninsured workers? 

Tough rental market.  

Still, at the same time, they refuse to buy my condo, putting me in a very tough situation where I had to foreclose on the apartment to find out later that they picked up the property at the foreclosure court for pennies.If you're concerned about repairs, don't be.

Jersey is a tough market.
