Trying to pull the trigger in New Jersey

[Cody Jensen]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to pull the trigger with purchasing my first investment property in NJ. I have ran hundreds of properties numbers within the past 6 months to a year.

Do any of you have properties in NJ ? How are they performing ? My realtor keeps pushing me to invest in cities which crime and taxes are significantly higher then some areas of NJ even though taxes are crazy here. 

Everytime i run the numbers i feel like making $200 per month isnt worth dealing with 2 section 8 families on a monthly basis. Im looking into multifamily properties, not section 8 in a decent area. 

Do you have any tips to get me in the right direction. Is it just me or am i being mislead?

Thank you !
