First Time Buyers in major areas

[John Duclos]

Hi Community. 

I live in New York City as a real estate broker (started in residential now do commercial leasing). My biggest concern is that in this market even a total fixer uppers in less than A+ neighborhoods go for high six figures.  

How would you suggest starting out in an area where the financial barrier to entry is rather high?

Thanks All,

Jack

Hi John - Northern Jersey definitely will give you better value if trying to start out. Towns that are on the train line area always going to be popular out there. Hop on the path train to Jersey City and check out some of the areas there too, Places like Journal square are particularly up and coming in my opinion!
