New Jersey House Hack

[Kevin Hoodwin]

Good afternoon BP community,

I am in the military and will be stationed in New Jersey starting next month. I'll be moving from Texas. I was thinking about using my VA loan to acquire a property and house hacking it. I already called USAA and got preapproved. After I PCS to a different base, I'd rent the property outright to a tenant.

I wanted to know your thoughts on the NJ market, laws, trends, etc...?  I'd appreciate any and all input/feedback!

Best,

Kevin
