In addition, I’m wishing to connect & build relationships with local investor friendly agents in these areas who invest themselves, help clients with investing opportunities & are tapped into off-market listings.

I have a unique situation where a long time family friend inherited a single family house in Jersey City from her deceased mother.  

Start asking your friends/family/people you meet at networking if they know anyone renting a room (or apartment) and ask them how much they pay each month and or what they would be willing to pay for a room. 

Our friend Darian has one on the second Thursday of the month as well.

Since then, I’ve lost 90lbs and counting, currently 14 weeks away from obtaining my MBA, and I’m in the process of starting an investment group with some great friends of mine!

Hey Anant - Are you working with an investor friendly agent down there?

Scheduling the individual trades persons ie. plumbers, electricians and ect. is best when you have a full day of work for each trade.

This limits the amount of $ I can qualify for individually.

An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do. 6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

In terms of taking on more liability, it boils down to what insurance will be less expensive and looking at what we are having to pay through the HOA (for insuring the aggregate of all units), it will likely be cheaper for owners to purchase individual HO3 policies to cover their units (as townhouses) as the carriers would not be taking on the risk of the entire $100M+ in aggregate replacement value, and the owners can take out policies for individual units with a whole range of carriers vs the HOA trying to get coverage through the secondary market.
