Hello:

Looking for an experienced New Jersey real estate agent/broker who is also a real estate investor (investor-friendly).

The areas broker must be well versed are: Kearny; North Arlington; Lyndhurst and Rutherford.

The reason I am looking in these areas is that my budget is up to $650k for a Legal 4 family residential property.

I'm also looking to attract the white collar office professionals in these areas; the commute to NYC preferably be less than 45 minutes

The types of residential properties I'm seeking for in these areas:

--- Must be "Legal" 2, 3, and 4 family residential properties, with valid Green Cards, and walking distance to buses and trains that lead to NYC.

--- Properties preferably in turn-key condition, however, cosmetic and minor upgrades will not be a problem.

--- No Section 8, or other low income program renters. Looking specifically for maximum market rate rental properties.

Thank you,

Thank you Chris and Scott for the link

Hello all:

With many of the stories on Bigger Pockets, it seems that there are some states, and when narrowed down certain cities, in the U.S. that owning and renting out residential properties can consistently do very well with Cash Flow, but not necessarily with appreciation, if any at all.

Then, conversely, there also are many areas that do well with appreciation, and marginal with cash flow.

1.) Could you folks please provide opinions on the Top Five geographical U.S. locations for residential real estate (single family and multiplex properties [1-4 families]), in good areas, that have the best cash flow potential, but where the appreciation is basically flat?

2.) And, also, could you provide opinions on the Top Five geographical U.S. locations for residential real estate (single family and multiplex properties [1-4 families]), in good areas that have the best current appreciation and potential for near future continued appreciation, where the cash flow is respectable?

3.) Aside from Case-Schiller, could you recommend other great sources of real time data that provides appreciation rates for the U.S.?

Thank you all in the Bigger Pockets community for your time and expertise!

Best,

Bradley

Hello gentleman.

Nicholas, David, Austin and Arian -- thank you all for your points of view on my question of creating an LLC.

Though all approaches are compelling, insurance no doubt will be a big part of a solid foundation.

However, I will still give some more thought of creating an LLC, as it seems it can act as the rebar in a more durable foundation.

Thank you once again gents.

Best regards,

Bradley

Hello:

When I purchase my first property I do want to LLC it; however, it will be in another state than the one I live in.

Over twenty years ago, there was a lot made of the Delaware LLC as it offered certain benefits, as compared to other states, and your property did not have to be located, nor did you have to live in Delaware to reap the benefits.

Today, are there any states that stand out for offering certain benefits of using their LLC, or has it all evened out at this point?

Thank you Bigger Pockets community for youprofessional feedback.

Best Regards,

Bradley
