As I don't really have that much money to put down on a house, but would really love to get in this industry.

Most good contractors have a backlog of work from homeowners paying retail.

Do you work in the industry?

Very interested in this industry and yes very interested in become hey if wealthy but as of now able and capable.

In the appliance industry we are not gonna just come to a home and go through all the diagnostics and take the entire machine apart just to get zero dollars.

There are SO SO MANY people looking to buy in Jersey City -- investors and retail buyers alike-- that I wouldn't assume I'd get either one unless they are off market deals.

I continue to work in the tech industry while divesting more and more into the Detroit market.  

They likely listed the house at retail or higher because they don't need to sell.

If there's an accident on your jobsite (heaven forbid), you would be identified and classified as an "employer - anyone who hires or causes work to be done" and you could be subject to comply with OSHA regulations for the construction industry.  

In an attempt to gain insight about various aspects of the industry I was hoping that I would be able to do some property management for investors around the central Jersey area.
