If you don't need the PATH and restaurants within walking distance, you can deal with a ferry to lower Manhattan (in community) or a 10min shuttle to the PATH, you plan on starting a family, you really want to live on the water and actually maybe get on the water for boating/kayaking/paddle boarding, then I would recommend Port Liberte.

We are in the same boat on our current deal, it's cash flowing now but once we can get the units to market rent it will be home run deal!

When I rent the larger units they come with power included in the rent, the idea is so they can trickle charge their boats/rv/other toys and run a shop vac or other smaller items.   

In general, my biggest lessons after these tenants is to (1) not allow a boat kept on my properties, and (2) stay away from people who are heavily into fishing.

Yes, I'll add myself to this thread, in the same boat (new investor in JC+essex co. area), looking for a first deal and potential partnership for the first one.

I get that it somewhat gives you two rentals... so yeah, there's that... but from a family perspective, I think you are better off not rocking the boat by putting your grandmother (and you) in an awkward situation.  

I'm on the same boat.

@Alex FraherAlex, I'm in the same boat.  

@Patrick Chafe thanks for bringing this up, I’m currently on the same boat.

Another was selling to a card dealer, we had a bit of a gap in the price and offer, he had less in a late model Pathfinder on his lot, so I took the SUV, I got some cash and a free vehicle.Used boats the same way.Used notes to trade for equity.Took livestock after I had a buyer and the buyer pick up the livestock, I never saw them.Another "system" was guaranteeing seller financed paper and leases, any default I step in and pick up the note/lease and I'm then buying the property or as an equipment lease, flipping it to an equipment buyer/lessor.With that said, folks, you can't start thinking outside the box until you know what's inside the box.You are really asking how can I buy without any money, many options are available but understand that not just anyone can start in what is truly innovative or creative without knowing how to buy with money, where you get it is a different matter.
