First time home buyer looking to invest PERTH AMBOY NJ

[Charles Salumn]

how's it going guys Im in the market to buy my first piece of property  

Originally I was looking at single family homes in Hazlet, Aberdeen, matawan , old bridge  however I was told that Perth amboy Is up and comming with Lots of development 

Does anyone have any experience in this area ? How bad is it.  I will be living there for a few years at least.  My day job is in Manhattan do I will have to commute there everyday   

   I don't want to put myself in the slums.  

Any help would be great

I did some preservation work on a house about a year ago on Charles St in Perth Amboy. I would stay away from investing in that area unless your slum lord.

I would look at Aberdeen/Matawan/Hazlet area more. I just scooped up a single family in Aberdeen, 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1000sqft for $102k
