Looking to network.

I believe networking is one of the most important aspects of this business.

@Cody Waterman start networking with brokers and agents asap...I think getting up to 4 units with a VA Loan (even wrapping in rehab costs) would be the ultimate way to get started.I would try to get one, refinance to conventional, and then get another one every year if possible.

I find that out of state investors from desert areas like Nevada, Cali, Texas, etc have no clue how bad the basement foundation walls in an old house like this can be.The good news is that a bad basement can be fixed but the repair cost can vary widely from cheap to multiple tens of thousands of dollars so having the right inspector on your team is critical!

All kidding aside, network on this site (to include the market place). 

Just started up my NJ business recently and am therefore looking to expand my network.

While your doing all of this you need to network to find buyers no use having a product if you can't get it sold.

As an electrician I would bet you have a good network of contractors around you or know how to do stuff yourself as well.

I am also currently working on networking and finding the right people on my team especially when it comes down to contractors, property management company, etc. 

You can find local professionals through this site, by going to the "Network" tab and searching "Members."
