First time buyer- Looking for MF in Jersey City/North Bergen

[Joe G.]

Hi everyone -

First time investor here looking for some advice on buying a MF home to rent out in the Jersey City or North Bergen area.  Specifically, what are the best areas in JC that are close to Bus/Train/Lightrail besides Journal Square? Thought about the Heights as well.

Also, is it best to look for MF homes that already have tenants in place?

I've only started looking at listings online for the past month but want to get serious now.  Currently live in Bergen County.  Not sure if there are better opportunities there but would love to hear everyone's input.

Hey Joe,

I am an investor and I work in Hudson County as well. I own property in Jersey City, but I am familiar with areas like Union City and North Bergen as well. I'd be happy to discuss different areas and the different transportation options that could make sense for you as a first time investor. Send me a direct message and we can talk a bit further!

Best,

Erik
