Friend of a friend with a portfolio of 30+ homes was contacted by them to basically sell his portfolio to them in exchange for shares.

What are the other properties in the area worth and was are common features in them?

I can get you in contact with my realtor.

Those connections are true but worth it in many ways.  

@Danielle DeCormisKey would be to find a DSCR lender that would allow for a second and then with that loan do you still meet dscr ratioA better bet would be to bring in an equity partner

With short notice, I'm looking for any insurance who can insure a house in Irvington, NJ 07111.

The more you can do before the tenant moves in the less of a headache you will have when they move in and start asking for things to be fixed. 

My tenant wants to buy my house through a lease to own or seller financing deal.

But first the backstory….My father immigrated to this country over 30 years ago and has been able to acquire 4 properties in that span. 1 family home in long island, two 2 family homes in Queens and 1 vacation home in his country.
