I grew up in the area and though I don't live there anymore, know its a great rental market and want to expand.I have taken the time to go through the tax records on the streets I know I want to buy and identify all of the absentee owners of multi-families (2-4 units).  

I have been concentrating on value-added real estate investment and would like to learn more about opportunistic real estate investment and experience to identify, select and acquire real estate that help create a diversified portfolio with strong risk-adjusted returns.

Once you identify what areas are your weak spots I would go back to the chapters and refresh.

Great thoughts staying along the rail, whether NJ Transit or Path for identifying Real Estate whether SFR or Multi Family.

Not to disparage my fellow Realtors but the majority have no idea how to help an investor or to identify a potential deal.

Once the sale is complete you will have a short time to identify a list of properties with which to purchase as a vacation home.

Don't do a script - but do by all means study them and identify what questions are right for qualifying your prospects and create a strategy for dealing with inbound calls.

This will identify the retail price ranges, in which you can list the rehabbed property and the price ranges, of distressed homes, you should target.You can use the Realtor to help you find deals and also use Wholesalers.

Glad they made contact and were quick to identify the issue along with the resolution.I am a bit surprised that there haven't been any responses to my post.  

You do not need to have them come to your home but you should identify yourself as the owner landlord when you do the screening.
