I am looking to establish a track record with a short sale lender, so if and when credit gets tight, I can have access to funding for short sales.

Btw I have access to my HELOC but rather try to get a mortgage if possible as I would need the cash for the rehab on the two deals I'm working on.

For some reason, I cannot access the county tax assessors website.

I’m a local developer in Bergen County NJ looking to expand my business with a line of credit.

Are you saying no internet access or just no wifi?

In your opinion would it be a better strategy to invest passively in a market like Brooklyn which is appreciating very rapidly average returns of 10-20% cash on cash.Or to invest in low income neighborhoods in Philadelphia and buy 2 family houses making around 20%-30% but not much future growth.I like the idea of building my own portfolio but I have limited access to capital and I don’t want to have a lot of partners to worry about.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.Heshie

I got the feeling that Dallas is expanding rapidly and the supply is dropping while demand continues to rise.

You’ll spend hundreds to gain access to thousands, not worth it.

As we're getting started long distance, we're approaching OOS or long distance properties from more of a turnkey perspective to get started as that might allow us to get experience with minimizing headache from rehabbing from a distance, plus that could potentially allow us to use the turnkey network (property management + their access to recommended contractors, etc.)

I think those two ways will really be able to help you expand your network quickly.
