Seeking first multi family in northern NJ and/or surrounding area

[Portia Bright]

Hello everyone, my name is Portia Bright born,raised and sauteed in Harlem New York :-)  I moved  into a townhome in Hackensack NJ 2 yrs ago

I am actively researching where to purchase my first multi family home(2-4 doors). I've ruled out the ever brilliant house hacking(husband is against it..bummer). I think my first property should be near so i can gain experience as a property manager but I'm struggling with homes that are more affordable in surrounding areas (Pennsylvania, Delaware, I am a Delaware State grad, and prop taxes are almost nothing).

Anyway.. there's my introduction (breathes fro the first time) :-)
