I’ll let someone familiar with New Jersey law answer your question about online only rent payments (it wouldn’t be legal in my state), but I did want to caution you against accepting a check as payment for the initial deposit.

I'll look that up. 

I went to go check them out and they were in really (and I mean really) bad shape... ended up passing on the deal because of the condition of the duplexes, but I’ll keep on looking and posting here for advice and hopefully land a deal before year end.

I’ll never do business with family but that’s just me.

I'll just point out that this is one of the problems with buying doors just for the sake of buying doors.

I’ll be moving my stuff to vanguard when my time comes.

Sorry to be a downer, but trust me when I say that, a few years back I WANTED to invest in Denton, but for now, I'll pass.

To avoid restating what everyone else has already said, I'll just add that this is something I would look for in the offering memorandum.

I'll try playing around to see how things look.

May sound stupid, I am quite green still, but any recommendations on where to find sample contracts to get an idea of what I'll be dealing with?
