Second, I would say to start connecting with like-minded people, going to investor meet-ups, and ideally find someone who is currently doing what you want to do successfully.

I also own/co-own two condos in the Jersey City Heights neighborhood.Would love to connect with experienced folks in the Gold Coast (NJ) area, as I have a particular interest in Jersey City/Bayonne.  

Happy to connect and chat further about this/send over helpful materials to read through!

Let me know if you have an interest in connecting!

Connect anytime, can give you a run down of performance and metrics.

Happy to connect.

Sending you an invitation to connect. 

You need to have a rolodex of money people that you have a good connection with before you do the "find the deal and the money will come" with confidence. 

The true craft lies in knowing the market inside out, having a Rolodex of connections (wholesalers) to source deals, or going out there, boots on the ground, cold calling property owners to find deals yourself.
