Never bet on a loan before you have it without a healthy margin. 

If you're talking owner occupied, meaning you're going to live there, it seems like choosing between those two areas is the primary consideration, then once you've picked that market you can dive down to consider specific properties.For your own personal residence, usually other life factors such as proximity to your place of employment and family considerations (spouse/partner, children, parents/extended family) are even more important than real estate investment.

If you have anything for us, please send me an email bryan@calyanirealestate .com   We are willing to pay 6% commission rate for working with us or maybe even more than that if profit margin is huge, Thanks!

It is also possible to find properties at the amounts you are seeking depending on the specific area in South Jersey you are looking to invest.I have had clients find success using the strategy you describe. 

We have a forum specifically for agents (select the Forums tab when that opens select the brows forums tab)Keep in mind the investor world and the agent world are very different.

Would you recommend the general MDREIA as the best place to start or one more specific to my area?

Because my specifications on buying a park is unique, I will create leads that I am not interested in putting under contract for.

Finally, certain types of property are specifically excluded from Section 1031 treatment.

It might sometimes make more sense to go with a smaller unit with a lower price or better margins. 

Our plan right now is to sell a condo in Seattle and use a 1031 tax deferred exchange and the equity gain as leverage to buy our first “replacement’’ property in Spokane once the renters lease is up at the Seattle property.We are looking for a specific property that we will be able to refinance after it is rehabbed and rented out so that of course we can repeat :) We are learning just what it will take to pull that off!
