You will end up losing the deal.You need about six months of networking and active deal flow to create a potential buyer's list and email distribution.However, if the deal is really good (very unlikely in New Jersey), it is true that you can find a buyer.

I would love to keep expanding in the Auburn area because this is where my wife wants to end up.

I have read books and watched some videos on getting started with rental properties and I want to purchase my first one before the end of 2024 if possible.

You can end this by showing them an actual utility bill.

I can see the value there, on the other end it may make some folks think some activities not included are not REPS activities when they might actually be.

Hi,I came across a high cash flow fund recently - Phoenix American Hospitality's REIT https://fourthoffering.phoenixamericanhospitality.com/.

Thinking possibly two options (pictures below)Any suggestions or thoughts would be highly appreciated!

Considering your goal of house hacking a duplex, while FHA loans are common for first-timers, there are alternative financing options to explore:Conventional Loans: Need more credit and down payment, but offer flexibility. 203K Loans: Ideal for fixer-upper duplexes, bundling purchase and renovation costs.VA Loans: Great for vets—no down payment, competitive rates, and no mortgage insurance.Portfolio Loans: Private lenders, good for unconventional income or credit histories.Hard Money Loans: Quick, high-interest, good for investments or major renovations.With $30,000, mix it up—use it for a down payment, maybe pair with a conventional or FHA loan.

As long as you're able to partner with a local manager you can trust, such as @Gabe Chase and @KiKi Wood, I would highly recommend investing here!

Little did I know, that I just entered into a highly dysfunctional situation where the seller has already been brought to court to sell and was refusing to sign the closing documents.
