    JARX Sellers agree to offer!!!!

    Special on the road episode directly from my car. Our offer for an investment property in Newark NJ has been accepted. Now we move into the fun stage of Lawyer Review to then be followed by a whole lot of paperwork and bureaucracy. YAY.  Hopefully, if everything goes smoothly we will be closing in the next few weeks and getting the property ready for new tenant moving into the spring. Thus turning this property from a cash drain to a cash flow.

    JARX Real Estate Hunting

    When the times get tough, the tough think outside the box. During these challenging Covid 19 Real Estate markets, the hunt for investment opportunity is challenging, so I decided to look around at what else is out there. I left my comfort zone and explored Real Estate investment opportunities I had previously ignored. I hit up some open houses, took a trip to a day spa in Bayonne and even looked at investing in a 2 bedroom in Harlem. Allot is learned and now I am more than ever focused on finding the next right deal.
