The area is close to Newark Airport which is a plus and has easy access to Times Square NYC with a short bus ride.

@Donald MurrillBuying a motel and turning it into apartment units isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Find someone of your own to refer them to.

It is easy to comment when we are not seeing the full scope of everything though. 

If the "air conditioner" you referred to in your post is a window unit that would fall out when you turned the house upside down, then it is 5-year personal property; otherwise, 27.5-year propertyLandscaping and ground improvements are 15 year property that would include driveway and sidewalks.For a single family rental, a cost segregation study is most likely more expensive than your tax savings could ever recover through accelerated depreciation. 

I think it is quite possible that it would dehumidify a larger area but for the walls, but ofcourse who knows for sure.I have no idea on the install price because we got the house when an aunt died and she had it done way back right after hurricane Irene flooded the whole basement, but there wasn't a choice on pro install because a hole had to be cut into the foundation as there was no window, I have a feeling if a venting spot existed it would be a pretty easy diy project.

If you are focused on networking with agents, then do your best to go above and beyond to help them help you.It can be easy to pick up the phone and call a listing agent, but it may be more difficult to convince them you should be at the top of their list when they have a deal.Here are some ways to gain their attention.Double End the TransactionMake sure agents know you will use them not just for the purchase of the property but also for the sale of the property.

I thought about references and it seems that's the way to go, I just wish I could find one that the wholesaler doesn't supply.  

I don't have any experience or references for you but I can tell you that vacation rentals require a lot more time and energy from a property manager and from what I have heard 25-30% is not out of line.

Be careful of such situations as it is very easy to get into a situation where you have to evict right after putting down good money to purchase the unit.
