@Karla Parraga It's definitely doable. I live in NJ and invest in PA. Have been talking to realtors and investors in the Lehigh valley area, and apparently this kind of commute is pretty common. When gas price went up though, people moved back closer to NYC because commuting became too expensive. Who knows what will happen in the future.

Steve you should go to networking events to find wholesalers. There are a couple of them I have been to. You can find them on meetup.com.

Mark, generally looks good. I usually budget 10% capex and 10% property management. Since you budgeted miscellaneous it should come out very similar. Good luck!
