Age is nothing but a number, and I know that if I show up and bust my butt harder than  anyone in the room, listen carefully and absorb every bit of information I get thrown my way then plan B will be the most rewarding.But, there's only one problem with this scenario.I've tried social media, emailing, and this forum looking for a local Mentor.

Many of the people that are flocking that direction are middle-aged professionals that are starting families.

With the numbers, there is nothing much left as positive cash flow, but on one side I think it might be a good idea to sell itand in the near future start looking on the other side of town for properties that are in areas with many renters and look for better cash on cash return, on the other side, I currently have a veryyoung family (2 very young babies), can't really find enough time for a more aged property that will need time for maintenance/finding contractors etc...

I wouldn't have considered FHA as a first option but I like how you are thinking at such a young age. 

@JJ S.I don't like the area, age of buildings, RE tax rates, multitude of multi for sale there, section 8 there is a nightmare, finding good PM to deal with that demographics.  

Hi ,Subject : NJ Small claim court on security deposit issue , landlord didn't return.I was living in 1 unit of a 3 unit building.all 3 units are occupied by tenants.I lived there for around 6 years, after that I bought my own home near by in same city(Bayonne)Before leaving I gave proper 30 days notice as mentioned in our agreement, Landlord requested me to stay 15 more days I agree on that also, and paid all rent .landlord's property manager came twice on property and did inspection and didn't complain on any thing.We left the apartment in good condition other than wear and tear that caused by 6 years with 2 kids.me and my wife worked really hard to clean every thing after we moved all our stuff.once I left I didn't get any email or statement of damages for 30 days( we left on Dec 15th)on 31st day(Jan 16th) I got email from landlord with lots of pictures like dirty carpet(some spots), graffiti on wall, some holes on door.Carpet was generally clean, but there were some spots at one place that I couldn't clean, also graffiti on wall m made by my who grew up there from age of 6 months to 6 years.these graffiti could be easily washed away or erased, but property manager told me , since there was no paint in last 6 years, so they would paint it so I didn't work on that.door had hole because of stopper, it was striking with door, so it was quite natural as door were hollow from inside., so for 30 days no email from landlord, on 31st day he sent me lots of pictures mentioned different type of damages.In the mean time other tenant told me that landlor has modified the apartment and added one more bed room, but dividing the living room.after around 37 days landlord sent me a cheque of around $300 out of $2500 deposit.This is my situation, please advise.

Tenant’s guest will be considered an additional occupant if they are eighteen years of age or older and any of the following occur: Guest spends more than three nights a week on average over a one month period at the Premises, Guest is on the Premises without Tenant supervision for more than four hours during 4 consecutive or nonconsecutive days during any week, Guest is given a key to any door of entry on the Premises.

With that in mind I'd want to know the price, do you have pictures, number of bedrooms, repairs needed, location and age. 

I'm envious of your REI experience at your age (hell I'm envious at my age), but you still are very early in your journey.
