@Rafal Mielniczek that sounds like a great deal!! 20 unit building...thumbs up to you!

I currently live in Little Ferry and have been watching and researching all of northern Bergen county along with some of Hudson and Essex for almost 2 years. I have thought about possibly buying a multi in Hackensack, but it doesn't meet my wife's criteria.

the main areas of growth are along the main street area (courts and river street). there a new building going up on main street and mercer. Its supposed to be 14 story's with a lot of residentials a few commercial on the bottom. It is a great area, near the park, river, stores, govmt buildings along with a good coffee shop (71 main street)

not sure where your building will be, but if you get the chance, check out

the main street alliance has been around for years.

the other major area is a triangle of construction is  btwn RT17, Maywood ave & central ave.***this is Maywood, but near Hackensack.  I don't know what is being built there. my guess is office space. there was a single family listed for sale along Maywood ave for almost 8months.

**if I were to purchase in Hackensack, it would be near the hospital & east of the train tracks. remember, Maywood residents send their kids to HS in Hackensack. The town is currently trying to figure a way to send them to Paramus.

@Ken Dayal, can you send me the breakdown? I tried looking for the property, but I was unable to. I did find 

@Kevin Hill, I have seen the property when I was looking in Hillsdale. the one things that stopped us from the purchase was the back yard. do you have any ideas on how to combat that drop in the back?

@Alina Trigub, there used to be a meet up in the Panera on rt17 in Bergen county. do you know anything about that one? I would like to attend one of the REI meeting, but come and go so fast. I live in Bergen county and I want to begin investing in Bergen county.

@Malik Gray, where is this house located? I haven't seen anything on the NJMLS nor GSMLS. please let me know, I am very interested. 

@Mark Kurian, I would hold the property. start by updating what you can, make it presentable so you can raise the rents. Clifton isn't a bad town in NJ, but it isn't the greatest. its a mid point for the average NYC commuter. good luck

Hey BP,

I am looking for a realtor that is good with foreclosures. I am looking in the Northern New Jersey area, Bergen County.

@Curtis Rouse, thank you very much for the positive feed back. 203k is something i have been thinking about. ive seen a few properties that only accept cash or 203k. definitely something to think about.
