I am a traveler therapist.

Now maybe I am wrong and all the POH homes are spectacular and very well maintained with new roofs, furnaces and no water leaks. 

I am new here just trying to learn and gain knowledge to start buying my own rentals 

I am a Broker Salesperson in the Jersey City/Hoboken area with over a decade of experience and have worked with many investors. 

because I was paying my bird-dogs vs having them pay me and just promise how someday, maybe just maybe they will bring the grand-slam of a deal and then I will be paying them oh-so much $$$$$ Seriously, from those buying into this I gotta understand how your mind works, no insult meant, I am genuinely intrigued and baffled because if it's a good deal you can go to any number of investors and get $, not a one will charge you for the opportunity to present them deal. 

I am over my head.

I am a local real estate investor and own a local real estate/property management company.

Also, I have coached a few agents who wanted to get more heavily into investing and I am happy to share what we found worked easily for them. 

I purchase my 1st multi family in Durham last sept, I was debating between str and long term, I went with str and I am loving it so far. my dec occupancy is Unit one 2b1b: 82%unit 2 studio: 79% So far so good and already thinking of getting another one in 2025 🤤 These are great numbers for this time of year!

I am no expert and just do what I am told.
