Is House Hacking in Union City, NJ a Good Idea?

[Christina Chatzoglou]

I’ve been researching real estate investing for a while and am ready to take the first step. Since I have to move from California to New Jersey next year, I’m considering house hacking with a multi-family home in Union City, NJ.

However, I haven’t found many examples of people doing this in that area. Does anyone here have experience with house hacking in Union City? I’d really appreciate any insights or advice.

If this isn’t a good idea, I’d consider investing out of state in single-family homes instead.

Thanks in advance for your help!
