I'm not sure if I should reach out to the seller directly or if I should work this through a broker.

From the time we met, we did all the previous mentioned in just two years time, so we are definitely goal focused and not afraid to put our heads down and work!

i've made offers on hoarder houses before and also cleaned up after tenants abandoned property.the numbers either work, or they don't.

A very important note to your getting started phase - No real investors want to "to grab a coffee or hop on a call" without getting to know a little about you and knowing if you have something to offer them.

. # listings have exploded post-COVID: too much NY/NJ capital with no where else to go.

Personally, I work hard for my sellers.

If your tenant's caseworker is out of town for a few weeks, demand to work with someone else or do something to confirm you will get paid as the new owner.

Mindset is key and just know that this is a business and you would be actively seeking clients and every day you wake up your working for the paycheck you receive in 30-60 days.

A good solid profit but not enough to justify 20 months of work.

@Christopher Morris so here's how this works.
