Hello, I am seeking a general contractor that works in the Union County area of New Jersey.

New investor actively seeking my first multifamily investment.

A distressed property will need a "value add" to increase the value, a distressed seller can sell allowing you to profit without touching the property, but this has limitations as well as to giving a fair price and not screwing a seller.

The family does not have the cash to dump in the home in order to renovate it the way it needs to be so my advice would be for them to seek out an investor to purchase the home for a discount "As Is". 

I realize that everyone is going to have different input and advice based off of their experiences, but I'm looking for assistance as to whether something I'm including is a definite NO NO, or if something should be added in for increased impact. 

At the age 24 I had acquired and ran my own restaurant but I am now real estate investing full time.I am opportunist, seeking deals daily.Real estate ExperienceGrowing up in family who owned several multi family propertiesI have taken many courses to enrich my Real Estate platform.Created a Rent to Own CompanyWithin the past eight months I have done 15 JV deals - 22 doorsReal Estate GoalsMy real estate goal for this year, it to acquire 20 more doors by December.Currently seekingSeeking Qualified JV partners for multi-unit cash flowing rental properties.Private lenders or Hard money lenders, who will lend to Canadians to puchrase properties in the States. 

So if the property has increased in value then you may be triggering capital gains.  

I specialize in the property type you are seeking but I only work in FL for now.

My wife and I started our company about 4 years ago and have slowly been building it up and increasing our holdings.

I'm a developer/ high end real estate solutions company for purchasing, selling and renting in 4 states on the northeast coast, and we are presently seeking a source for hardwood floors at discounted or deeply discounted rates.
