The quality of the property plays a role too.

If she fights you the fees run about $1500 but less than that if she doesn’t fight.In the meantime, play by the rules don’t make any mistakes and don’t get emotional.

They ruin roofs left and right and your insurance is higher.You can use a turnkey provider or find a local agent/ pm and go that route if you go out of state.I have done both and think a combination is ideal.

I have 3-4 years before that plays a role.

The seller plays the role of the buyer's bank (mortgagee).

Im in the Cumberland County area so ideally Id like to stay close to there but Im open to Gloucester or Cape May County as well.

Regardless I would keep taking applications until you can select the most qualified applicant which ideally will not be this applicant.Set your screening standards high.

It's rare, but occasionally you can find a value add play where you'd be buying into a property with much lower than market rents where you have to do a renovation in order to get higher rents, and then you can get the 1% rule.

I've talked to a few people about doing rentals and most of their responses are about the same "start of with a cheaper small house, rent it out and gradually work towards getting more lots and then work bigger towards dupleces and so on" I need direction for learning tools I really am starting fresh, I don't have knowledge really at all on market what factors that are in play when going to buy a house or renting it out or anything like that.

@James Holmes Welcome to BP and congrats on getting your start in RE even if it involved a purchase that maybe was not an ideal move, it is still getting in and starting.
