Hi Phil Z. , My parents live in that area so I have been considering looking into what kind of opportunities there are around New Haven. Would love to connect to hear your thoughts and experiences. Best, James

Hi @Ryan Cheung,

Thanks for the advice! Sounds like I need to find an agent first and then get pre approved. If you have any referrals for agents or lenders for the Northern NJ area, I would greatly appreciate it!

Good luck!

Hello,

I am looking to buy a multifamily property in Hudson Country or Bergen County. I live in Manhattan so I would want something with an easy commute (Ideally Union City or Jersey City). I have been looking at a few properties but I still don't know the market that well. My goal is to live in the property and rent out the other units to be able to live for free after all monthly expenses and the mortgage payment. I would love to get in touch with any Realtors that work in the Northern New Jersey area that could help me find a cash flowing property. 

Thank you!

Hi @Lawrence L.,

Thanks for the tips! I listen to the podcasts on my commute to and from work everyday but I still have a ways to go before I listen to them all. I need to read more and I will look into the books you recommended. Also, I will definitely be at that meet up. 

Thanks again!

Hi @Ryan Cheung,

Congrats on finding this deal! Just out of curiosity, did you get pre-approved for the FHA loan before finding this? If so, how did you decide which lender to use? I am also looking for this kind of property in the same area using an FHA loan.

Thanks and good luck!
