The challenge I see with Oaklyn becoming the next Collingswood is the fact that part of what makes Collingswood that small town feel is Haddon Ave.

So far, it has been challenging to find reliable roofers in the area (they are too busy or never sent me estimates)  Any has any recommendations???

Yea my biggest concern is getting sunk on my very first deal.

i have some challenges you didn't...The mold test my tenant had professionally done in March showed moderate levels downstairs and high levels upstairs.

They are associated with Redstone Federal Credit Union, the biggest bank/credit union in the area.

That was B.S. and I challenged it.

Waiting to get started is my biggest regret.

Your biggest hurdle is going to be the city.I'm curious to know what they would say.

Maybe he beat somebody down on the price because of the cosmetic challenges and they were stupid enough to sell or maybe they were desperate and he took advantage of them. 

I would prefer to have PM in place as well as a tenant in place, or at least know that the deal will not close until the tenant is in place.For full transparency provide a list of comps dated within the most recent month and only about 1-2 mile radius max (we know you need to make money on the sale but would help establish trust).Communication seems to be one of the biggest pain points I read about so maybe focus on that as well.
