I have an idea of what I want to do to get started but have a lot of questions and would love to pick someones brain about investing in NJ.I would like to get started by house hacking for a year or so and build up some equity and save some cash for another after that.  

I'm currently a payroll manager part time and have done other bookkeeping / management jobs, so it was recommended that maybe I find an investor who is needing help managing their books or payroll. 

This is an the city and the area around it is developing, so I will likely tear it down in a few years to build something else.

Obviously having a 60+ unit portfolio affords me the opportunity to have a revenue (fractional) - so if you only have a couple of properties in 1 or only a few markets you should be able to base off of your competition and booking trends.

I don't have the money to pay cash for a home in order to get around that requirement, so i'm looking for ways to finance future deals without going the traditional mortgage route.

Why is the credit score so low?

(I will make this an MTR, so I need to furnish all rooms).

I'm an investor in Columbus OH myself and have purchased rentals that are clean BRRRRs and hit the 1% rule.
