Hi everyone, my wife recently reached the dream of being able to retire at 49 thanks to rental properties.  

The lease already spells out the property owner's responsibilities regarding who is responsible for the repair of certain items like the fridge and AC. 

Anyone having issues with their insurance company not wanting to insure properties over a certain age?

We currently have one rental property and looking at building a primary home.

I just closed on a property (primary) last month.

I lost +$35k on the sale (I did purchase it at the height of the housing bubble, i.e. 2007) and rents were stagnate for almost the entire time I owned the property (I was only able to raise the rent by $50 over 10 years ($550 in 2009 to $600 in 2019).  

Good morning, I currently have a duplex property that I am in the process of switching to Section 8 Tennats.I currently have two long term tenants that are month to month, currently collecting $1000/m each.

I helped my clients purchase this property in 2019.

If you need help, I would attend SJREIA or whatever equivalent there is in central Jersey as well.2) I would suggest buying a property (SFH or MH) in a location you can get you within 30 minutes, especially for your first deal.

I would check the market rents to see how your property compares.1a.
