His or her initial feeling/position on your request.

I went ahead a began classes on REE's website like you recommended.

In my position a property manager is a must and am very excited to be in the process of hunting down a good deal for my first rental property 

The two Prop Mgmt companies I've talked to have said they're very familiar with the area, and I see the listings on their website, and they've both given me quotes of 8-10K, and 10-15K for the costs to rebuild/rehab. 2. 

Have you had direct experience using an awesome EXTERIOR paint simulator website/or app (FREE ONE)?

I commented in another website about asking a couple of friends of mine that through the day are working in neighborhoods to let me know if they see any vacant or distressed properties.

I would like to keep the property and turn it into a investment property but it does not look like it will cashflow positive once turned into a rental.

I believe HA still has the option to wait 24 hours before approving them.As a Premier Partner you have access to phone numbers during the inquiry phase.I have seen where others have provided feedback form other booking sites and I have not seen any positive feedback on them.I am even getting bookings through Expedia now since they own HA.

I understand mostly on auction website Investors bid on property with cash.

Not sure what the NJ eviction laws are but you might want to check on that too.Also in my experience less than half of the properties listed on the auction.com website ever come to auction.
