@Enzo PazosWelcome to BP and congratulations on taking the initiative of investing in real estate.There are many investors here in New York on the forum.There are also many real estate networking events in the area that will allow you to meet other like-minded people.

I'm going to hire a VA to mainly be doing cold calling and taking calls, what programs/apps did you purchase to assist you in being successful ?

@Justin Johnson - You should come out to the next Meetup.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/652292-south-jersey-meet-up-10-foundation-title

I am quickly realizing it's difficult to find 1) properties which meet the 1% test, and 2) properties which cash flow positive from year 1 (unless we increase our down payment from 3.5% to something much higher).I would like to get two pieces of advice from the Bigger Pockets community in Massachusetts.

Read.....youtube.....there are several wholesaling groups on fb that you can join and possible meet people in your area that you can team up with. 

Brian, thinking big really quick, I would say a few 800 FICOs ready to personally guarantee and a few to five seasoned LLCs each with a D&B PAYDEX of 80 or more would get you the most financing you want at the lowest possible rates assuming you meet the income requirements.

You and this tenant have definitely started off wrong and functioned poorly for 3 years.Get your own tenant and reclaim your profits.Then see if there is a Landlord Association in your area that you can join and start attending local meetings to get local support and information.We want to see you successful!

Meet him at a coffee shop to exchange them.

@Katie HuynhI have not looked at BP's calculators, but I have used "dealcheck.io" which also has a linked app.

I am in the final stages of writing my contract for my wholesale deal (I meet with the sellers to sign tomorrow) and I just want to make sure this is 100% without a doubt right.So, I have it written in my contract that the EMD will be credited to the escrow account at my title company FOLLOWING the 20 day inspection period.
