Newark is a city where smart investors can do well, but uninformed investors can miss the mark.

Many of the level 1 trauma centers will likely have a need for travel nurses, but the need for travel healthcare professionals in hospitals changes based on many factors: temporary shortage of staff in a particular unit, budget, patient census, conversion to per diem instead of travel contracts, etc.

Be sure to understand the financing options out there for mobile home buyers and if you opt to carry the contracts on the homes you sell you should do some research on Dodd-Frank regulations. 

@Brady Ascheman To make the decision strictly from a Property Management standpoint you have to calculate your vacancy cost and cost to acquire a new tenant to know if a rental increase is even a smart play. 

Of course using a freetobook, owner res, smart BNB type channel manager. decide which of those you want to be on based on your results for at least 6 months.

If you can’t “always close” on every home you put under contract, aim for 90-95%.

I’ve been working exclusively in my local market since October and am excited to share that I already have a couple of deals under contract!

If not, the only requirement may be filing plans with the dept of buildings.One of our contractors does the bulk of his work on contracts with NYC.Mainly work related to bathrooms & tiles/flooring, I will shoot you a PM if I can get any information on this.All the best!

@Sebastian AlborsIn my experience, buying a single-family home (SFH) in Asheville and house hacking with a family member like your brother can be a smart way to balance costs.

Alternatively, once you have a full time job (or an employment contract), you should be able to qualify for a loan and utilize a Down Payment Assistance program.
