Hello,

Does anyone know of any meetups in central NJ ? Maybe zoom meetups because of Covid 19?

@Jacob Malakoff Thats great I also commute to Manhattan for work so that is ideal for me as well. Is that considered Linden Downtown area? Thank you. 

@Jacob Malakoff Hi I’m actually looking at Rahway and Linden for house hacking. What area are you in Linden? Closer to the train station ?

@Kevin Hill This is a great discussion thanks for starting it. I’m a new investor and I’m thinking about waiting to purchase my first property at least 6 months to a year as the current market is a little tough. I’m looking to house hack and haven’t seen any multi family in central NJ that makes sense or in areas close to the train station for my NY commute

Hi,

I'm new to REI and BP. Quick question does getting a preapproved from a lender cause a short or hard pull on credit?

Also if I’m not looking to buy until 6 months- 1 year when should I apply for the preapproval amount ?

Thanks,

Briana

@Rick DiAgostino thank you! That’s great that you were able to easily find tenants. When you were looking for MFH where exactly in central NJ ?

Hi,

I am a new investor and also new to BP. I currently moved to central NJ a couple of years ago and wanted to know if anyone has experience with buying and holding in the area? How are the cash flows? Is it worth investing in the area ?

@Rick DiAgostino Hi I’m currently looking for a MFH in central Nj. Was it difficult finding a tenant to occupy the other rooms?
