At minimum the sellers agent should know what they are selling or they are just wasting everyones time including their own.

Hi Everyone,I recently moved to JC, and I’m hoping to get some advice from those familiar with this area, to include Hoboken, etc.

I have been in the construction business since I was 17 including those college years.  

There are many many more hoops to jump through, and paperwork needing to be filed, and custodian fees (and fees and fees) not to mention having to deal with "non-recourse loan" lenders AND the complications of the taxes...I came to the conclusion that unless you can buy the property outright in the IRA it just wasn't worth the hassles, red tape, paperwork etc etc etc.Plus, RE has many great tax advantages that you would be giving up when buying in a tax advantages account.If I had $150-200k in the account, that would make things different.

This includes businesses that are located outside the city limits but do some or all of their business activity in the City.There are three types of Activity Licenses that you will need to select: Commercial, Non-Profit and 2-4 Unit Owner-Occupied Housing.

That has both pro & con issues associated with it, including over regulation and high taxes (for everything).

Borrower shall also be in default if Borrower, during the loan application process, gave materially false or inaccurate information or statements to Lender (or failed to provide Lender with any material information) in connection with the loan evidenced by the Note, including, but not limited to, representations concerning Borrower's occupancy of the Property as a principal residence."

I also include a packet of recent remodels proving my ability and success.  

Please remember that people, including investors, often make decisions or fail to make decisions based on fear and the unknown.  

A short sale has a certain prices required, including it being listed with an agent.
