Northern NJ - Multifamily vs House Flipping

[Nicholas Sheridan, Jr.]

Hello BP community!

I have been a member for a year or so but thought it was necessary to redo my intro post due to my relocating to NJ. I just started my full time position a few months ago and have narrowed down my REI options to Multifamily Rentals and Low Income House Flipping.

I was originally interested in purchasing a multifamily house (triplex/quad etc.) and occupying a unit while renting out the rest. However, I was wondering if others have had much success with multifamily housing in NJ despite the ridiculously high property taxes. 

I have read through the Ultimate Beginners Guide and am about 1/4 the way through the BP podcasts.

Thanks
