But I’m afraid I’ll play the safe bets and there are only two options. 1) Purchase to short term rent in an accepting community.

Your best bet is to be close to public transportation which is plentiful in NJ and to househack to optimize finances.

Not sure what the margin of error is but the site might supply that.

There is free landlord software out there that can help you to screen tenants as well as market your property to all of the major listing sites.

Looking for a site that tracks previous, not current, building permits.I know I have stumbled on it the past.Thanks

I am excited that there are more resources and networking opportunities through this site then there was when I was trying to fumble through and am excited to glean what info I can from it, and help others when possible.

Is there any way to get sellers contact info for Fsbo properties listed on sites like Zillow.com  or Realtor.com without having to contact their agent?

I got them for the peace of mind, but honestly, I'm finding that when I do my own work on finding referrals through forums and referral sites, I'm better off.

Your best bet is to talk to a local real estate agent.

There're a lot of tax professionals here on BP site.
