Title: NJ Investors & Buyers — Let’s Connect 🤝 | BbuyNJLLCHey BiggerPockets 👋My name is Badr Lamtaifi, and I run BbuyNJLLC, focused primarily on New Jersey SFHsI joined BiggerPockets to connect with other active buyers, wholesalers, lenders, and operators who are actually doing deals —and talking about them 😄Whether you’re:Buying or selling in NJLooking to JV on tricky or distressed assetsMoving deals you can’t take downOr just want to compare notes on what’s working right nowI’m always open to conversation and collaboration.A little about my approach:Boots-on-the-ground mindsetNumbers first, emotions lastWin-win deals only (if it doesn’t work for both sides, it doesn’t work)💡 Fun fact (because why not):The Sahara Desert wasn’t always a desert — around 6,000–10,000 years ago it was actually green, with rivers, lakes, and grasslands.

In general there are more upkeep and surprises that a early 1900s building can have compared to a 1980s building for example.

I spend a lot of time connecting investors and operators who value conservative underwriting and clean communication, which seems to reduce a lot of that friction before it becomes a deal-killer.Always open to comparing notes as well.

There will be less scrutiny and due diligence compared to a ground up construction loan.

Some PMs are excellent in certain submarkets and struggle in others, so having the right team on the ground is often more important than the deal itself.

If you’re out of state, having solid boots-on-the-ground management and cleaners makes or breaks it, it gets stressful fast.

I have a few rentals locally, but the majority of my portfolio is in Decatur, IL, where I operate BACH — our management and acquisition company.Right now, I’m focused on:Expanding our Tucson, Orlando, and Denver footprintContinuing to acquire, stabilize, and operate rentals in the MidwestNetworking with investors who prefer hands-off, well-managed propertiesExploring potential property trades between marketsBuilding relationships with people who have construction, management, or acquisition expertiseConnecting with out-of-state investors who want boots-on-the-ground partnersHow are things looking in your market right now?

Those typically come with higher rates, but more flexibility on experience and speed.Current rough ranges I’m seeing (very deal-dependent): • Bank construction: SOFR/Prime + 1–3%, lower fees, stricter underwriting• Private/bridge construction: ~9–12% interest, interest-only, 12–24 months, 1–2 pointsFor a first-time fourplex, the biggest underwriting focus tends to be the team (GC + subs), budget accuracy, and contingency rather than just the borrower alone.Happy to share what structures are working right now or point you in the right direction if you want to compare options.Best of luck on the project.

I regularly source off-market and wholesale flips through my local boots-on-the-ground team and work not just in the area, but across Ohio, so we can pivot to wherever the best margins are.
