I don't want to wait that long.

Did I mention i was commission only?

Unfortunately, the big bank I was dealing with waited until the last minute to give push back, so I would need someone that is quick.

I currently have a offer in on a investment property, just waiting to hear from the bank (foreclosure, taking forever!)

Nowhere specifically just mentioning south jersey because that's where I live.

I was waiting for you to weigh in @John Thedford, thinking any topic with 'wholesaling' will pop up in your alerts ;)And I guess what I'm going to continue doing is both.

Can't wait to meet you guys! 

It is important to mention whenever this comes up that the oil boom/bust has not had a negative impact on the Eastern half of the state.  

I get more buyer leads and people requesting to be on my buyers list and wanting to know about deals I have in the pipeline from forums than the marketplace..... simply by not even mentioning my properties and just offering advise when I can, or making referrals.

i gather it's still riskier to buy out of state compared to in your own backyard. 3.) not really a con - but weighing against buying in AL would be that we still have 9 or so months before the move... we could still look and purchase here in our backyard as opposed to waiting...though the deals we see here don't meet the 1% rule, while meeting the 50% rule.
