I think I have a good plan

Tom Sears
Posted

So my plan is to use 10k from my 401k and 10k from NJ first time home buyer program. The hitch is that in order for the NJFTHB loan to be forgiven I have to stay in the place for 5 years. I figure this limits me to a triplex or 4-plex if I want to not only have the mortgage paid but also make money at the same time. If I save the proceeds and save the money I'd be spending if renting I should have 20k to invest again in about 2 years. I'm hoping by then I'll be less leary and have some decent experience in real estate.

Does any of this sound good?

This is South Jersey Camden County area.
