@Samuel Killen  HELOCs can be a good way to access the equity in your property but not have to pay interest until you actually use the money. 

@Victoria Jonagan Beyond the obvious of listing with an agent on the mls, try the little free apartment guide circulations that you find at restaurants and newspaper stands.

But there may be stellar deals offering awesome ROI in both areas six months apart, so as long as the "power 4" (as they called them in the podcast) are established in both areas then it really just comes down to deal chasing.At least that's how I see it as someone with one rental and a big dream lol 

I came across a deal in NJ (20 min from my current apartment)  $150,000 for a three family unit.

I have been reading loads of books (my all time favorite is Crushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate), listening to podcasts (favorite is obviously Bigger Pockets, also Jake & Gino’s Wheelbarrow Profits), and reading a lot on the forums.I currently run my own personal training/online training business.

That being said, I was considering building a low cost franchise opportunity to people who struggle, like single mom's and the elderly who live on fixed incomes, allowing them to rent an apartment from me and the could rent the rooms out themselves.With the right team I see a win win, but I wanted some feedback.

@David Ross Thanks David, excited to be a part of this great area.

Almost all will let you at least access the property assessor and tax records. 

We just completed 3 apartment renovations and we purchased all new from Loews. 

Also, as a courtesy, I created an account for you at XXXXX.com which allows you full access to the entire MLS.
