Hi @Jeff S. thanks again, I am trying to reach insurance but no success yet, so will try tomorrow again during office hours.btw Insurance company name is Agent Alliance Insurance Co.

Much success!

I have had some success with finding wholesale properties but not as much success in finding buyers in this area.

I have had great success with French Drains (google) I had a property in Ca and sometimes it rains furiously there and water would literally pour into the basement like someone turned a tap.

Hi BP members, I'm getting ready to close on 3 family in the Weequahic area in Newark NJ and was wondering if anyone have any of their properties listed on Airbnb as I was thinking of converting 1 of my units into short term rentals. would like to hear any hurdles or successes people have had with Airbnb in any parts of Newark.

Lastly, if this is your first fixer-upper, I suggest going in with an experienced and successful fixer-upper partner/mentor. 

pricing these days for HML is based on experience  No experience pretty expensive  ..so in my mind first few out of the gate I would do this with an equity partner safer and less frustrating than trying to go HML  once you can show a few successful flips under your belt the HML route will be easier and less expensive..

It's our view that it is our job to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to set the buyer up for success at the beginning.Hope that helps,Chris Pre

Guaranteed to be time well spent...Best of luck to you and I look forward to following your success on BP!

BEST WISHES and SUCCESS to YOU.
