Hope to get to commercial properties in a few years.Feel lucky to have found your site - there's an amazing wealth of information here!

It's great to have experienced folks join the site!

I plan to continue building my single family portfolio and evolve into multi-family.This site looks like a great website to connect and learn more about the one thing that is always on my mind...

But you’ll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful.

After finding and joining this site I've totally rethought my strategy at acquisition and realize I need to do get busy and do more off MLS.

I started to search all of the realestate sites that I could (zillow, Realtor, Trullia) looking for what looked like good deals based on comps around the area and (sqft vs. price) From their we found several possibilities.

You can also use your tax assessor's site and secretary of state's site to identify which attorneys are being used by other active LLC investors.Take steps to shield the identity of the members.

Your home inspector should also be able to site things that aren't up to City Code.

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.
