I’m brand new to BP & brand new to real estate investment but I’m a firm believer in affirmations so I will (prematurely but confidently) introduce myself as an investor.

Or just bite the bullet on the first deal or two and build the relationship until you win the PM's confidence to invest alongside you.

Once you see your savings rate consistently increasing, go for your Heloc idea to buy a property.

If i refi or heloc and my fixed cost increases 300.00 per month, I’m still clearing 700.00 per month.

Then when it comes to financing this is where you can increase your offer slightly if its owner financing because he can provide cheaper financing than a bank and he will ultimately make more because he is getting interest on a loan.When he asks "why do you get a profi"t you mention that you are taking on the risk of fixing up the property. 

I'm confident that regardless of which avenue you choose, you're going to be successful!

From listings, it seems  properties now in Union city/Weehawken are increasing faster than those in Jersey City areas. 

Like residential tenants, commercial tenants don't want a big increase in their rent.

The one specific one sits 40% vacant and we will be adding additional tenants to increase income.

Talking to my exterminator, he’s confident he can manage it.
