Any experiences or thoughts would be appreciated.

I’m eager to learn from those with experience and willing to put in the work to gain hands-on knowledge.I’d love to connect with others in the community—whether you’re seasoned investors or fellow beginners like me.Looking forward to any advice or insights you can share.Best regards,

Lots of great info on here as well, and like they're saying the best thing to do is to find an experience broker / realtor who can help you navigate which neighborhoods to target and which ones to stay away from, as well helping you to build out your team for property managers, lenders, inspectors, contractors, ect.

You need to hire an agent in NJ that specializes in short sale transactions and has experience with this!

I'm actively seeking mentorship from someone with experience in similar markets who can shed more light on this process.

Any advice/recommendation/similar experience is appreciated.Aloha Jinxiang,  I would check with your insurance carrier anyway before filing a claim.   

Sorry to hear about the investment going sideways and credit to you for sharing your experience on here.

This required no experience.

It has been my experience that HUD will accept the lower offer of no other bids are higher.

The idea of acquiring a new property every few years to build a strong portfolio is something we’re seriously considering.I appreciate the insight, and it’s great to hear from someone with experience.
