I am ready to start investing in properties with the BRRRR method and am trying to figure out which of these three areas is the best? For North Jersey, I was thinking Newark since I am familiar with that area and rents are high, but I don't know much about philly/Lehigh Valley market. I am willing to learn more and study another area if its worth looking into. Please advice before I stick to one market. Thanks!!


 Hi Daniel,

I would suggest the Lehigh Valley for the BRRRR method. Prices are still relatively low so it would be a great spot to start your journey. Also, if you did end up wanting to keep the property, the laws there are landlord-friendly and cashflows are still strong. Happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Best,


I'm in the Lehigh market. Have you done BRRRR deals in the neighborhood recently?

I can tell you who to utilize as a contractor and I know an investor friendly realtor there. If you need pre-approval, I know who will lend there on properties for as low as $40K.

Wow @Brian. I'll DM you. Thanks for sharing.

Hi fellow BP members,

As the subject line suggests I'm a newbie. 

I'm an out of state investor and am ready to commit to a deal. 

I'm seriously looking into a deal along side with a trustworthy real estate agent. My agent (buyers agent) took some pictures and  I'm also planning on having the property inspected by a licensed home inspector. My question is, is there any need me for me to go down and walk the property my self?

My naive opinion is that I have no idea of what I'm looking at even if I choose to look at the property.  

Your take and personal experience will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance,

I'd like to invest in an out-of-state property (since the ROI is attractive) but since I'm working in my full time job I don't have time (=rat race) to go down to see the property, so I had a creative idea to hire wegolook.com to complete a property report with photos and then to double check on him I would hire a local licensed property inspector to go look at the property and then compare them to see if the information match. Once it does I would just go for it 

would you invest in a property unseen with the method mentioned above ?

My name is Chaim, Kernkraut from Brooklyn, NY starting out as a newbie investor for short term investments as like Land flipping but my long term goal to acquire as much Buy and Hold residential properties to produce wealth and passive income 

For my long term goal I'll looking into the strategy described in the ebook from @Brandon Turner "7 Years to 7 Figure Wealth" 

Wishing everyone good luck,

Hi fellow BP community, 

I recently got excited of @Brandon Turneridea from his book "Seven Years to Seven Figure Wealth." and for those of you that don't know, the concept of the book is be able to buy more houses just from the free cash flow of your prior rentals. My question now is which state to start looking for an investment matching this criteria? living here in NY there isn't anything to buy everything seems overpriced 

thank you,   

Well done!! Congrats! 

in which state would you advise me to start looking for deals, living here in NY it's almost impossible to even think of acquiring property for a decent Cap rate
