There are plenty to choose from.

Hi @Jonathan Guerrero - $40k is plenty to work with ... but it depends on the financing you can obtain, if that $40k will be used for renovations, or maybe you are just using that for closing costs and looking for a turn-key (ready to go) property and doing traditional financing. $40k can buy you a place to rent in a few select towns in South Jersey ... on occasion with renters already in place, but those areas will be rough. with $40k you have many options.

Should be plenty of money on the MLS there for you if you have the manpower to get the work done.  

I agree with Joseph, There are plenty of areas fitting your price point.

There are many people with value to add to you and plenty of people you can add value to as well!

They mentioned in the noticed which Storage units were broke into, which were plenty far away from my storage unit's location.Fast forward a few days; My friend (an RE investor)  asked me if I had heard about the recent storage unit break ins. 

@Brian Bellocchio I have plenty of people who are looking for quality plumbers who would take you up on this.

There are plenty of people that will simply just sell you a property which isn't what you're looking for presumably. 

I’d recommend taking a couple months at least to focus on educating yourself if you haven’t already, interview plenty of agents that can help you evaluate properties and will educate you along the way, and attend some real estate investing seminars.

There are probably plenty of great deals to be had is your search area.
