Recos for Slow Flip and/or House Hack in Northern NJ

[Prem Schoff]

Hello BP NJ - 

Wife and I are looking to purchase home in NJ (we currently rent in NJ). Our preferred area is Morristown but we're open to Northern NJ. We are planning on staying in this home for about 5 years. To maximize the investment I'm interesting in going the slow-flip or house hack route. I'm not finding too many duplex or 4plex. Wondering if anyone has feedback on if they've had success finding slow-flips or multifamilies beyond typical via MLS or non-MLS routes. Also was hoping to get some recommendations for investment-focused real estate agents that cover Morris County and Essex County. The real estate agent(s) we're currently using don't seem to have much REI experience and I don't think they are ideal with what I'm looking to accomplish.

Thanks!
