"My" tenants are not having a hard time at all.We are going through some issues here in NJ with legislation, the majority of it brought about by absentee slumloards.

The problem with internally prepared financials is that they are notoriously inaccurate.

FAST.I know you want to close on a deal you've put a lot of time into, but I'm sure all your internal alarms are ringing like mine.Good luck!

I would like to intern at a property management company, a brokerage, an investor, or anything along the lines of real estate.

I have a degree in International Business and am now learning contractor work.

@Keith Leckey  those are all factors i would still have to work out, but my thought was that we structure the company in a way that their commission from the co. would be 10% of the gross rental income ( just like a property manager would get) and their responsibility in the co. would be to run the day to day activities of the business. all they would have to do is show the income on their taxes, i believe, but you do bring up a good point and will have to talk to my CPA and Attorney on that. as far as the property itself, they would not have to be recorded on the deed, they could become partners of the company internally, the co ( llc.) owns the property, not me personally, but if you structure the agreement so that they have no rights to the asset but only the company then that protects you from " sharing" that asset, that is something i would have to figure with an Attorney before i offered the person this idea.

I just love that directness :-)That being said, the city has a ton of "immigrants" this last decade (and by using the word immigrants, I mean that to apply equally to "out of staters" as "internationals"). 

As a realtor here in the Champaign-Urbana area, much of the investment property here is uplifted by the university and its large international student base which will only continue to grow, especially with the expansion of the medical program here.

Are you planning to make the building energy efficient in your restoration work ... what other updates will be required by regulation / legislation?

HiI would love to intern or job shadow an experienced investor in the Greater Hartford Connecticut area in exchange for doing tasks such as admin or job site takes that you investors don't like doing.
