I tend to put more blame on the government. However I believe government, who we choose to lead us, are a reflection of us. In that respect we deserve what we get. We need to change. So the government can change.

@Account Closed Great question. I am interested in knowing expert opinions too.

@Chris Masons

I live in Piscataway. I am interested in any emerging areas with multi-families, currently I am thinking good neighborhoods in Newark and Jersey City.

Thanks @Brandon Turner that was helpful.

Some basic questions.

1. How do I find, or where do I look for, small (residential 1-4) mutli-families that needs some fixing up, in NJ?

2. My strategy is to hold them, but just curious to know the possibilities of flipping residential multi-families

3. How do I find the going cap rate or GRM of a neighborhood?

Thanks.

@Marek Sanecki Hey welcome aboard. A sea of resources (forums, blogs, blog comments, podcast, books, experts, wise men, newbies etc. etc.) to learn from. Jump in, swim, take action to navigate yourself to the shore..i mean your first deal :) Good luck!

@Joshua Dorkin Yes I have seen the fliter; it is good but limited in use I think.

I meant the standard advanced search. I am sure you have seen it. You can look at other bulletin board software as inspiration (e.g. I just looked at phpbb and one another)

For example I can think of..

• Search in content types: forums, articles, blogs etc. One chooses one or more options.
• Search by user names - I want to know all the posts of one expert in Marketing forum for example.
• Find threads started by a user
• Search for forums with at least/at most n(type in number) replies
• Sort search results by last posting date, number of replies etc.
• Search entire posts or titles only
• Search in Forums. (Btw, what are categories?), so I can choose which forum in advance.
• Etc. etc.

@Ibrahim S thanks for your insights about Newark and other areas and also the tip "What you DON'T want to do is to go into a rental area with a 'rehab to flip to a retail buyer' strategy". I am thinking of focusing on 1-4 multifamilies now.

@Annette Hibbler Detroit is hot market really?

@Brandon Turner thank you for that link, i was looking for a good book on smaller multifamilies and found it!

@Joshua Dorkin Not sure if it is mentioned elsewhere, I would suggest a better/advanced search feature. I think It would help many to take full advantage of it. I don't mind this being part of paid membership.
