We are primarily looking for SFH rehabs in the West Orange / Maplewood / South Orange area in Essex County northern New Jersey.

Having a Realtor in the family definitely gives you a leg up.I'd recommend making a weekend sport of going to as many vacant properties as you can. 

. - Unfamiliarity with the area/surroundings- Lower Rent compared to CA but I know I can't compare apples and Oranges (But I don't want to invest just to break even)------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tax questions ***Some state does not have tax on income(?)

Sometimes they write their cash offers directly with the listing agent to try to get a (perceived) leg up.

But can't compare apples and oranges. 

My name is Dylan Raiche-Snater, and I am actively looking to perform the leg work for fellow investors in the Rochester, MN and nearby area. 

PMI =0.0085*950,000/12=$672 monthly.HEL 80-15-5 scenario)  HEL closing cost on 150,000 = approximately $6000.  20yr at 6.25% = $1096 monthlyThe calculation above is kind of comparing apples with oranges. 

I'm down in orange county.

I have a large attic in a sf in mission Viejo, Orange county .ca.

I’m still trying to determine the market (or markets) I want to get into, but am definitely looking at something long distance as southern CA property is a bit too expensive for my initial jump.Here’s a little background on me:I’m born and raised in Orange County, CA.
