I'm always looking for good R/E conversation over the bar.

@Willie Rogers I haven’t done any wholesaling , but I do believe you can get these contracts from a RE attorney, I would seek one who has experience working with other wholesalers in your area .

Some say all contracts are assignable, others the NJ RE contract is; but in the same space I am being warned that one needs to be careful.

The VA loan is a great benefit and if used effectively can get your RE investing off to a very good start.Suggestions:Use the VA loan to house hack a duplex to quad.Refer to yourself as the Property Manager and not the owner.Live in the unit that can best benefit from a rehab. 

We are seeing a similar trend in recent months - folks coming in from away, thinking prices are real cheap, and not taking the time to learn the neighbourhoods before buying a 150 year old building on a sketchy block, which has had no love for the past 30 years.You can find good deals in Saint John, but many of them are going to required a re-investment exceeding the purchase price.  

Added bonus if you happen to be an active RE investor as well. 

I'm a RE agent in Florida and I came across an off market, multi-family investment that is available, however, the seller insists on discretion. 

Might be time to even re-evaluate that PM or sit down with them and have a disussion as to what the bottleneck is.  

Have you checked if you are allowed to remove PMI on your current loan if you get the property re-appraised and it meets criteria to allow you to drop it?

Life is too short to absorb some jerks negative energy.
