I was wondering if there is anyone that can provide some advice on property management/contractors or anything associated with having a property out of state.

I’m not very familiar with the local market and would love any insights on promising neighborhoods for living and investing.I successfully acquired both of my current properties off-market without the help of realtors, but I'm feeling a bit stuck on how to navigate the Ocean County market.

Once in a while it happens they don’t get the rent in on time.

For new investors, would you recommend focusing on short-term rentals or long-term rentals?

I would love some advice on if its worth pursuing or the best way to purchasing a property under ch. 13.

I am looking to purchase a few rentals properties on deals that came in through my direct seller marketing.

100% below market means it is renting for $0.If you have an owner-occupant mortgage, you should have made the purchase contingent on one of the tenants being out by closing so you could occupy upon purchase.

I accumulated about 50k in bills/expenses on cards during that time  and another 50k doing renovation on both rental property and my primary residence.

But, would my 2024 income even be considered towards pre-approval given it is not on a tax return yet?

Hello Patrick, from my experience as a lender in the current market there is an abundance of financing available for 1-4 units, on Fix and Flip, New Construction and Rental market.
