I don't have interest in investing in my home state NJ (a state with more landlord friendly laws would be more up my ally).

I've interfaced with some Jax members on the forum but there's nothing like meeting in person.07/12/20187:00 PM - 9:00 PMLocationJax REIA Office - 103 Century 21 Drive - Jacksonville, FL 32216We'd like to meet others who are interested in collaborating (even if you can't come to the meeting). 

I have friends in Fairhope and was just visiting them last month.

So maybe for now you can just spend more time with your son and his friends working on stuff, because that's the true reward of all your efforts.Hope that helps!

Being even a little higher can mean you get ignored, or end up with a crummy tenant.Have a friend call the PM and inquire about the property. 

Update:A friend of mine is consulting on a nearly identical project currently. 

In terms of renovation costs, I suggest you find a few investor friendly GCs and bring one with you to get the estimates of a potential property (maybe even pay them for the appointment). 

I had a similar question:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/588871-az-rental-friendly-bank-for-heloan?

Good luck on your journey my friend!

Do you know of any investor friendly agents in the Sacramento Area?
