Hey @Tony Conigliaro,Given the current market environment (limited inventory, higher rates), it's difficult, if not impossible, to find a rental property in Northern NJ area that will cash flow while you're occupying it, especially with just 3.5% down.

It's a tough business to operate effectively, especially in our environment...what I'm really saying is that a number of PMs I've talked to in the last few months are actively raising fees for their Portland rentals (and some across the board) to help with the extra staff, time, and attorney consult fees they're incurring due to the new laws. 

Other sales may be contracted out to a 3rd-Party.Like in GA, all Tax Sales are held on the 1st Tuesday of the Month, but there are also opportunities to buy properties that have been previously offered at Tax Sale (which did not sell), either due to a lack of interest in the property or a shortage of bidders (which is rare but it does happen).I always like to encourage Investors to attend a sale or two first to get a feel for the environment, and to get a better understanding as to how the Auction takes place.

If you can raise money in the current environment you can raise money anytime!
