I have lived in DC, chicago, Madrid, and hoboken/jersey city. Chicago is awesome, if you don't mind cold weather, but it might not be THAT much cheaper than NYC. I've stayed in hoboken/jc for 13 years, so I am probably biased toward that region. Again, not incredibly cheap, but you can find options more affordable than NYC, and you can still access NYC easily. In my travels I have been intrigued by Nashville, San Diego, Charleston, and Denver (not necessarily a walking city), likewise with Scottsdale. I didn't feel like Atlanta was a walking city. Portland and Seattle have walkable parts, but might not hit your price point. I hope this helps

Hi Michelle, in what state is the property located?

Hi Nicholas, I am licensed lender and broker in NJ, I have a few investment property loans in the works and they are pulling between 3.25% and 3.5%, no points paid. Of course each scenario has different components, if you want to chat or have me run your scenario to get an estimate, just let me know. -Christene

Hi Mike, I am a licensed broker in NJ and I can say that the main bank I broker with says, "there is no leeway. Investment properties are not allowed on FHA." I also do private lending, if you have any questions, or if I can help, let me know.

Craig, I would say look for a private lender, or a hard money lender. I can't speak for others, as to if they would lend that amount, but I do private lending in NJ and I would definitely entertain this loan. Or maybe find a partner who would buy with you and then you can structure an agreement where you buy that partner out over a specified period of time, with periodic payments or something agreeable to both of you? 

Hi Craig, In what state is this located?

Hi Adrien (and everyone else)... congrats on the 6th property! I have been in Jersey City for 12 years. I work in television, but also have 2 rentals and do some private lending. I too would be interested in chatting about our market/area or even meeting up for an outdoor coffee or drink to kick some ideas around. 

Hi there, I have worked with John Losquadro twice for investment properties I purchased in Hudson County, I thought he did great work
