Newcomer to the NJ real estate market

Alex Kenny
Posted

Hi BP members,

I am a 22 year old college graduate looking to buy my first home/condominium in New Jersey (why rent from someone when you have the option to buy). My current job pays $90k and I’ve got a little over $20k saved up. 

My goal is to buy a property which I can live in and fix up (owner occupied loan), whilst saving up for another property/duplex in the nearby area which will go under renovation and eventually be rented out.

I ask you for advice on my game plan and on the location where I could make this all possible. I am single and would be fine with settling in any city from Atlantic City up to Jersey city. What markets in NJ are expected to increase over the next 5-10 years? Do you see Atlantic City experiencing any sort of boom in the near future?

I’d appreciate any feedback and look forward to getting my journey started!

- Cheers

Alex Kenny
