I'm 47 and only recently started investing in real estate after a successful career as an Engineer (still my day job!). 

While there are so many successes stories and get rich quick flipping seminars my wife and I just want to share our stories and hope to be an inspiration to other flippers and real estate investors.

I noticed in these meetings the successful hang with each other.

An experienced hungry investor who has just successfully flipped a home nearby and made a bundle has offered to give us $50k to wholesale our property to him.

He has four identical townhouses in the downtown district that he has been AirBNBing out himself very successfully for the last 5 years.

But it's the paperwork (the Lease Agreement, the Option Agreement, etc.) that will have the biggest impact on your success or lack thereof.Do not do lease-option unless you have received adequate training and have access to excellent documents.Since you are here in Georgia, I would strongly recommend you look at the training and documents offered by Dyches Boddiford.

I wish you much success. 

Anyway, can anyone recommend a licensed NJ architect who has worked with Union City, NJ City Hall with success?

Back in "the day" we would get the same info and a weekend long event for $497 (Wow, now i starting to sound like my grandfather)Today, because of technology being so widely available and inexpensive, you can get the vast majority of the core information that you need to be successful as a real estate investor,  for free!
