I have been searching the mls and other websites everyday and night.

I don't know about this first-hand, but here is a website that might help you sift through the details and processes:http://www.doleta.gov/business/incentives/opptax/

Hello @Mike Jones - I'm not very experienced in the NJ area as far as rentals but I can say that I've owned properties in Canada where I never had to visit that site for 5+ years at a time.

We even doa current home visit to verify they keep a good home.

This website looks fantastic so far, tons of useful information and links.Tom

Also, for my first market I’d like to be able to visit it (investigate neighborhoods/properties, interview PMs, agents, etc) without incurring a huge cost.

Not all lenders offer this type of loan, there's a list of lenders on the website.

Start at the website and let's go from there.

I started sending out DM and added websites to capture leads.Now I'm in a very hot market here in South Florida, so my results are going differ greatly from other markets (except for maybe San Antonio and So Cal).I'd also like to post my DM results for the past year here, but being new (and not 12 years only) I can't figure it out.

I suggest you visit at different times of the day.
