I lose out on some properties due to this as my offer is often lower than others who do not expect to do this.

I always suggest spending a few months following several people on social media, that started a mastermind/STR course.

I do, I want higher quality people and lots of people are moving to Austin

Takes the pressure off to find a subpar deal and lose a million or two. 

Hey guys, I’m located in NJ & I wanted some feedback regarding to flipping properties in this state as an investor.I come to the conclusion that NJ is terrible to be a landlord in, especially with the process to evict someone.I spoke to a few people who mentioned NJ is great for flipping but I wanted more feedback from others who are familiar with the process here or flipping in general in a state compared to NJ.thanks 

Keep making your properties and how you run them better to draw more people, save money, and make more profit.

Love that you are teaching people about this!

I'm nervous because I've never had a business before and I still have a full-time job as a cloud solutions architect, which I'm really passionate about - so hopefully it won't be my golden handcuffs that may prevent me to thrive as an investor and  I'm excited because of all the benefits and freedoms being a business owner offers, one of which is to connect and collaborate with forums like this and people like all of you, where I can both learn from and hopefully share later as I develop more experience. :-)

I found this deal by driving around and talking to lots of people.

That said, if you're partnering with people for expertise and sweat equity it makes sense to partner.
