Pursuing the dream...

I'm based in NYC and would love to invest in one of the boroughs but feel that as a new-comer to REI I'm probably priced out of the market.

I'm looking at option in Jersey City (specifically JSQ area) as I have lived there before so am familiar with the area. Also have been hearing some noise about major growth potential in Harrison NJ over coming years. 

My target is to pick up a duplex by year end in the 200-300 range so am keeping my eyes peeled and reading as much as I can on the side to equip myself with as much knowledge as possible before plunging in..

Would be interested in hearing from any other local investors to get their feedback on JSQ and Harrison as investments for a newbie investor.. My aim is to start with 2 units and try grow it from there!
