You need to determine if this PM company is looking out for your best interest or not.

An actual analysis with real numbers would help determine a next strategy as well as hearing about your goals. 1.

I spoke with a lender today and she mentioned an appraisal will have to be done as part of the FHA 203k loan process (where I'm getting the money for the rehab) to determine the ARV.

I am a new investor living in NYC and am looking to determine my farm area so I can begin investing.When I initially started my research, I thought I would farm in Northern New Jersey - Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Union counties - but as I continued researching I've found that inventory is low and competition is high, making the barrier of entry for a new investor very challenging. 

If so, the administration process has started and then your marketing to the PR (Personal Representative) to determine if the estate is willing to sell. 

I did determine there seems to be a need for Handymen however.I have a full time job now, but I really enjoy working on smaller home improvement projects. 

Use that money for investments that yield 8-10% returns rather than paying down the debt that's costing you 4-5%Focus on reducing that debt payment or increasing your income (no brainer but had to say it)Have a lender determine your buying power. 

I currently have a multi-family property and I'm not sure I'm ready to raise money to syndicate a new property, of which I have no real experience, but I think I could very easily determine and sell others on the property that I currently have since I already know all the numbers now that it's stabilized. 

However I am running the issue now of determining the true value of the property. 

(Not just money, other costs too)Determine whether the goal is worth the cost.If it is, focus on that goal and don't take your eyes off it.
