Now the county is threatening to take the General Contractor license unless the money is reimbursed 😳!  

@Jennifer Brown;  normally I would either seek more info to help out on a posters question or give some direction on your Real Estate Investment path.  

We still own the condo, we just have tenants in there who are willing to pay the HOA fee and the increased taxes in order to access the slightly better school system up there.Bottom line, someone who just shows up alone and out of the blue, says they make 3x your rent, offer you nothing else when you explain the income verification problem, and object to a month-to-month rental contract or an increased security deposit, well, they're probably lying about how much money they make.

We still need to send the business plan to one of the private lenders who we have been talking to and who has been giving us pointers helping us along the way as we are new Real Estate Investors. 

We found it on Zillow, notified our real estate agent we were interested.

With baseball, you start making money once you reach the big leagues, in the minor leagues, every player's salary ranges from 34k to 39k.

I am a 42 year old newbie to Real Estate; out of New Jersey.  

Booking.com is even more expensive than VRBO/ABNB, so you will likely be costing yourself money for every Booking.com reservation.

I am looking for a recommendation for best book to introduce me to syndication as a real estate investment strategy.  

I think money can still be made however, I wouldn't be willing to invest there currently.
