For example, Dumont, New Jersey just raised property taxes 2.35% (above the state-mandated 2% cap), however their Rent Control Ordinance only allows Residential Landlords to raise rents by the CPI percentage, which is currently 0.008%! 

Does anyone have a rental agreement that they would be willing to share? Or perhaps share good key points to add in an agreement.

My friend @Jay Hinrichs taught me something very important: the 3 C'sCharacter of the borrowerCapacity of the borrower to repay the loanCollateralHope I have given you some points to consider.

I've found an unlisted property that transferred for 23k all cash 5 years ago and is now an abandoned duplex w/ a zestimate of around 105k based on B/B count and sq ft, lot size etc...local etc... no current mtg. listed so I'm scoping it pretty hard as my first wholesale offer...trying to find a realtor that can pull comps for me but since they don't really have any skin in the game nor would they I'm not getting much enthusiasm from so-called Realtor friends that I've had...

@Alex Perez  Lender's cannot discriminate against the size of a loan on the residential side.  

I am a title agent with an investor friendly title company In Maitland, FL. 

I have a number of friends/family/coworkers offering to invest in our business, so I am leaning strongly toward using their money for transactional funding which does not appear to be very common.  

They want to help me secure some residential deals.

I have friends who do this and I am aware of some of the issues, tenants, laws etc.

My friend and I are newly real estate investor, we have $20,000 to start.
