FSBO can definitely be an interesting space to explore, and learning from local investors and agents is a great way to get up to speed quickly.

Hi Chetan,I am an RE investor in NJ.

I was fortunate to have a mentor when starting out (thank you @Bob Malecki) and later joined a note investor group( @Tracy Z.

I even know some builders that will allow 100% down, which some investors like. 

I got interested in real estate when I read books about how some wealthy investors generated wealth.

House hacking in NYC can be tricky because of prices and regulations, so a lot of local investors end up looking out of state for better cash flow.

I’ve been hearing from a lot of investors that the current lending environment feels tighter than usual.Some are turning to private lenders or alternative financing just to keep projects moving.Curious to hear from the community:Are you finding traditional banks harder to work with right now?

Consistency and networking with other investors will really help you scale over time.

Looking to make connections on here and pick the brains of seasoned investors that do the same thing. 

There is plenty of money to made in this area for the experienced investor, especially those with experience in construction and development, but is not the right location for those that are already cash-strapped.Note: This information is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.
