lately, I’ve been thinking about many different strategies regarding real estate.I originally did wholesaling for a few months but ended up stopping bc it just took up too much of my time especially with my full time job.second, I thought of having rentals but I was hesitant bc I live in NJ & the rental laws here aren’t the greatest and it’s hardly any deals that can justify for the rent to cover the mortage in this expensive market.Right now ive been thinking about possibly flipping properties in my own back yard NJ or possibly out of state where home prices are much lower in certain markets.Anyone have advice if I should possibly flip properties where I live in NJ (blue state) or possibly go into another market and flip virtually..?

I experienced the same through Rent to Retirement. 

LIHTC development, Section 8 focus, or just finding really inexpensive real estate and intentionally keeping rents lower than market to provide affordable housing for the area.  

This new form allows us to order a 1007 rent schedule with SHORT TERM RENTAL COMPS.

Together, it worked out for me as their combined income allowed them to always make rent. 

The house would be our primary home and would rent out the mobile home.

What's at risk is it may not cash flow and renting is not so common in South Jersey, but I would feel more comfortable investing in a good area where schools are decent to good, and tenants are likely to care more.

Hi all,We have a 4 bedroom home in Austin TX we’re considering renting out as an STR.

If you are open to the idea of renting out your current house and moving somewhere else, then you can look into primary residence financing such as FHA loans which allow for 3.5% down payment options.

The current sellers are open to living in the current home we will be buying for up to 6 months and can pay me rent during that time (like a leaseback) , can I combine that with a bridge loan for (6-8) months to get me past that period.id assume my loan wouldn’t be the same rate as no longer could it be for a primary residence as they’d still be living in it.If i purchase the home and do a lease back for 6 months to the new hluse they are building is finished would I even need a bridge loan?
