New long time New Yorker looking at New Jersey O.o

[Yinna Wang]

Hi Bigger Pockets Community!

After multiple google searches about real estate kept leading to biggerpockets.com, I couldn't help but be pulled in. I do wonder though, shouldn't it have been called deeper pockets? :))

Regardless..this site is seems so healthy and full of information in every direction, I'm excited to get started!

After 27 years living and renting in New York, I'm finally ready to own and build my passive income. But NY is so overpriced that I'm actually thinking about New Jersey, specifically Essex County. 

I'm interesting in finding even cheaper (smarter?) ways of getting in, ie foreclosures, fha loans, brrrr, owner-occupy on multi-family properties. Any leads in these areas would be awesome!! x
