Looking for full service contractors to manage the project fro start to completion.

Typically in the range I'm looking in, the return would be more like 15-18% if I self-manage.My wife is on-board with this and will probably do a lot of the managing since she's a SAHM and I have a full-time job.

When we went in to get the keys, all the windows were open, tenant tries and gets us to sign a document saying they get their deposit back in full.

We would then find a local investor and partner with them on a deal.Issues I foresee:a) Working full-time, I worry about not learning a whole lot on the deal and not being able to make sure the money is spent correctly. 

I plan to move to the Austin, TX area when I graduate (1yr) and work a full-time job while involved with real estate investing.

Otherwise, if you plan to hire a property management company, I work for a full service management company and I'd love to help you out there as well. 

I'm also working with him on my own residence in Bloomfield, Essex county  on a full basement renovation I'm currently working on. 

He would get the full 8k lien unless you delay selling until you fight it out in court.

Consider also who will be collecting those when its full and the value of that time.  

Of all of the podcasts I listen to (mostly about multi-family investing) and people I talk to, I've only heard one person say that they aren't buying right now, intentionally.Now clearly, a 'deal' is something that cash flows or will make profit from day one.I'm not saying skip over a true DEAL.What I'm asking though, is if there are experienced investors who've been through more than one full market cycle, that have periods of not buying ANYTHING, even if there 'are deals out there'?
