@David Da SilvaWelcome to BiggerPockets! Looks like we're from the same area. I'm also looking into buying and holding. I think its a great way to earn passive income.  

For a couple months now I've been reading numerous articles on real estate including multi-family homes and listening to podcasts on BP. I started analyzing properties in northern NJ and I was wondering if anyone on BP had experience in this market. I'm not sure what the rents are for these areas since there is a range of rental pricing given online. I was curious what the typical rents were if one was to rent out a multi-family house in northern NJ that has two units, one unit has 2 beds & 1 bath while the 2nd unit has 1 bed & 1 bath. The house is overall in good shape and in a good neighborhood. Thanks again to you all and looking forward to some feedback!

Thanks I really appreciate it! @Judy Parker & @Odie Ayaga

Thank you guys for the feedback!

Hello everyone!

My name is Jose Arismendi and I'm a new investor looking to gain experience in the real estate industry. I work full-time as a structural engineer for a private firm in Fairfield NJ and look to work part-time in real estate. 

My goal this year is to acquire a multi-family property (Buy and Hold) in the northern NJ area (Bergen, Essex, Morris, Hudson & Passaic counties) while also house-hacking. I'm familiar with these areas and think this is a great way to start investing.

Furthermore, I'm interested in concentrating on one particular niche which is buying and holding rental properties. I also look to connect with more investors that I can assist and learn from.

Feel free to reach out with any questions and/or comments.

Thanks!
