Room to grow in company/careerIssues: Little investment capital (~$20k)New Jersey’s relatively expensive real estate market, especially Monmouth countyYet to purchase primary residenceSalary not the highest - only 2 years into careerMy Plan:I’m looking for at least a 3 bed, 1.5+ bath single family (or multi- but they seem scarce around here) home in the high $100s (low $200s would be pushing it) range in the Monmouth County areaof New Jersey.

Hope you enjoy the trips to Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot and places like that for home accessories more than I did. 

(green toes, green lawnger, etc) These are pigments and paints.We tried to establish Buffalo grass here, looks like we have to much annual rainfall for it.I Personally  have a 2 acre lawn, on top of the Hill we call a mountain. (1000 ft above sea level) I have drip irrigation that feeds he flower beds.

The guy didn't see any termites inside the property but found them in the flower bed near main entrance.

I wouldn't say I have expertise in evaluating comps, but I generally go by area (Usually inside of a zipcode), sq ft, beds, and baths. 

Mostly two beds on bath.

.* 4 bed/2.5 bath SFH built in 1980* has a 15 yr mortgage of $135K - owes approx $125 on it.  

I am new to real estate investing and I was in line to buy a 240,000 one bed one bath in the heart of Pacific Beach 10 blocks from the ocean.  

Do a search with the number of beds/baths of your units and put in a ceiling rent that is the rent you hope to charge after the increase.  

They freaked and posted on FB they need prayer about the house and that they would sell their 3 bed 1-1/2 bath house for $50000 but would take $48,000.
