Hi everyone,

My goal is to house hack (live in one unit and rent out the others) a duplex - 4plex in New Jersey for 1 yr or until I am able to refinance. For prices around 100k-200k. I plan to have a co-signer for my FHA loan (I dont have W2s but I have cash and a great credit score) and place my reserves into fixing up the property and getting it rented. I would like to remain "close" to NYC.

Does anyone invest in New Jersey have any advice on creative ways to find amazing deals on duplexes-4plexes that may need work ?

Are there any areas in NJ that are perfect for this specific model of house hacking?

Thanks!

Hi, 

Who are some amazing mortgage brokers in Wichita KS, who specialize in investing?

@Jonathan R.

I appreciate your suggestions. I will look into each of these banks.  If I were not able to secure financing through these banks, are their any other suggestions you have? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Can anyone recommend some investor friendly lenders in their state? I am looking for a loan that is 50k or less, I understand more small banks can do this. I will be investing out of my hometown in California to somewhere in the Midwest or down South.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone, 

I live in Los Angeles and I was wondering ... how can I find a local investor to show me how to find, negotiate, and close on a real estate deal ? 

I understand I have to bring value to the table, which I am certainly willing to do but where do I start...I cannot afford to finance a property in Los Angeles ... BUT I have an enormous amount of time and energy that I can leverage in exchange for knowledge and experience. 

Any advice ? 

Thank You !

I can understand the safety concerns. Since I have seen so many rundown properties being bought throughout the city that is what I assumed investors were planning to do. The city looks like it has so much potential I am excited to see what it becomes 10yrs from now.

I don't think anything is easy when it comes to real estate investing. You're an investor in Baltimore so I am sure you know how tricky or not, it can be investing in such a place. Are there any positive sides to investing in pats of Baltimore ?
