I live in NJ, and it has a very high cost of living and with the current rate of interest, makes it a very pricey market so to say, and not that investment real estate friendly.

Anyone with directions will be highly appreciated.I am thinking of buying a 4-bedroom property that has some potential for student amenities.

But if it's priced a little high or the listing is a little funky there might be a way to get them to look at your offer.You might offer your price as cash plus a small second mortgage to them as owner financing. 

Borrowing from the equity must be done wisely or you will end up with negative cash flow and at high risk due to over-leveraging.NOTE: I use interest rates much lower than they currently are in 2024!

Zillow does have a Price my Rental Tool that allows you to manually review rental comps in the area, and I highly recommend it when setting prices.

Investing in real estate requires careful planning and due diligence, but with the right approach, it can be highly rewarding venture.

Or if they want a high-interest rate, and your numbers will not work at that interest rate, or if they really want a crazy high price where it will be difficult to cash flow and refinance in the future.

Any tips on filling Vacancies, Arbnb experience, high or low rental season strategy?

I highly recommend checking out this blog post and considering these states for your next investment. 

I have seen plenty of huds on properties I funded for fix and flippers were commissions were that high or higher and lets not talk about wholesalers who might charge 100% if they can get awaay with it.. difference is they dont disclose the brokers disclose to their sellers..
