Is New Jersey a state worth looking at for deals?

[Quzandor Headen]

Hi All,

For the past couple of weeks I have been looking at some deals in NJ and I was wondering if anyone has any insight to the market? Are there any areas to definitely stay away from? What I am looking to do is some fix and flip to raise "quick capital", however I mostly want to do buy and hold for the long term.

I personally live in NY and it doesn't take much to commute to the area to see the property first hand, I just don't want to take a trip for nothing. If anyone has information or is in the NJ/NY area any information would be greatly appreciated.
