Buying my first multi-family

[Michael Vieira]

Hello all, my credit score is around 700  and I plan on buying a multi-family when I graduate in 3 months and living in one of the units. I am looking around 2 places ( depending where I choose to work), Jersey City, or around the Bethlehem/ Allentown (Pennsylvania area). What are some good sources to find good deals in specific areas like foreclosures etc. Is anyone familiar with these areas? Where do you think in these areas I should look for good deals. How much flexibility do you think I have with my credit score? And lastly, what kind of loan or other funding strategy would be most helpful? Thanks!
