Alternative Investment Suggestions: Are there any alternative investment strategies you would recommend for generating cash flow in New Jersey with the capital I have available?

However this opportunity will not likely come up again.Question - Outside of family/friend investors - what would you recommend as an alternative, IF there even is one.

Andre - For starters I would recommend you read "Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth" by Avery Carl;   You can find that book right here on BiggerPockets. 

I recommend bringing in an experienced partner or finding a seasoned commercial agent familiar with that area.2.

I found Foremost, who would take new clients with a loss history, but they are not able to insure a condo policy.I also tried working with insurance agents but have not been successful so far.If anyone has a recommendation for a great agent or an insurance company, I would greatly appreciate it.

- What do you recommend as my game plan to land my first rental property within 12 months? 

I will be looking into the areas that you have recommended.

My recommendation is to choose cities in safe and economically diversified areas with above-average income and population growth.

If you are looking for STR communities, there are many that I could recommend near Disney.

I would recommend reaching out landlords who are doing for rent by owner.
