These resources can help you connect with local investors and find out about local meet-ups and events.Good luck!

Hope this helps. 

I feel like at this point we would do well to talk to a partnership lawyer that can help us dig through options and help structure.

I am really hoping that it's just onboarding and then smoother sailing from here...let's stay updated as we might be able to help each other out.

That said, I'm unfamiliar with the market and would love to meet with other investors who are finding some success (and mishaps) to help refine my game plan.If there are any REI meets ups please let me know!

I try to stay on good terms with people as word of mouth can always come back to bite/help you, and generally try to treat people with what feels right/fair.I was thinking I charge a one-month penalty for breaking the lease, and they continue to pay rent until the unit is filled.

You should check out Hospitable as they can help with all of that and are perfect smaller hosts. www.cameronranchglamping.com is one of mine.Hospitable link to sign up! 

So that should help with response %, but does anyone have an idea how much that will help? 

The idea is to HELP offset your cost of living, not totally replace it.

@Ashley Guerra - I live and invest outside of Philadelphia, so I can't comment on your specific markets in central and south Jersey, but can provide my perspective on things to think about to help your decision.1) I would consider speaking to 3-5 people/investors in each market you are considering (central and south Jersey) to listen to their thoughts on pros/cons of the area and how they invest.
