I believe my realtor has suggested making an offer of 270 but having 50 of the 270 placed in escrow for repairs to the siding/windows/air conditioning so that it's livable however I've never dealt with an REO nor placing money into escrow for repairs. 

It is still up in the air which route we will take but are leaning towards the fourplex. 

Remodeled the interior, turned the bonuses into heated/air-conditioned bedroom and master bathroom.

Next why don't you start looking at places you would like to live and then check all of the air B&B and VRBO sites and see how much they charge and how full they are booked? 

If you decide to Air BnB then an ability to accomodate larger families and groups can be a significant advantage in maximizing your income. 

Infusers, air fresheners, candles?

I find it hard to believe that everyone that performs this service in NJ is a real estate broker, especially when being a broker or agent has nothing directly to do with managing an Air BnB/VRBO listing or offering a quality product to investors.Thank you very much in advance,Cody

@Jordan Knoll Thanks Jordan!

I'm currently active duty Air Force and I love what I do, but I want to generate more income and I know real estate is one of the best ways to do that.

., the neighborhood varies, but probably more central air than units.
