NJ is a tough market? Why?

Marsha F.
Posted Mar 12 2019, 10:59

I always hear and read about how New Jersey is a tough place to invest but that is all that's mentioned. I live in NY and I'm looking to house hack in either Newark, Jersey City, or the Oranges. What makes these areas so tough? I know property taxes can be a bit steep but you can find a house for 300k in NJ (fixer upper) as opposed to NY. What are some laws/items I should be aware of before investing? What makes NJ so unique?
