I still wasn't "ready" to do my first deal.

Rehab and flip is extremely time consuming when also working full time.

Biggerpockets also has a calculator you can use to analyze deals and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Hope it helps. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/21/business/credit-score-reports-experian.htmlhttps://www.experian.com/consumer-products/credit-score.html

It’s definitely a challenging market segment and if you’re attempting it out of state, the higher turnover rate and increased property damage can be real profit killers due to more vacancy, increased PM fees and rates (15% is more than double the rate I pay for example) plus you’re likely to have higher costs on maintenance, leasing, inspections, turnover/make readys, etc. just because sec. 8 tenants are a lot harder on units and also super high maintenance to manage.

Generally Turnkeys are $60k and can come as fixers or ready to rent and include equity.

You just stepped in a big pile...get ready for the melee.

(At least I might be more ready when the real deal comes along)5.

Anyone out in NJ willing to talk, I am ready to listen to any ideas. 

@Jacob D Adamczak  I agree with you about consumers really taking time to analyze all aspects before purchasing a solar system.
