@Ray Reed Paterson is very challenging area i grew up here all my life, even the decent areas are fill with crime, my street was involve in a shooting 2 times this year and where i live is a decent area. Plus the property taxes here are higher than other towns.
@Ned Carey the kind of investment im looking for is a buy and hold, im trying to get good COC im thinking long term as 30 years from now. I was thinking of buying foreclosures and rehabbing them than renting them out. Paterson is not a good area i know their are many many investors here who buy the property and section 8 them. not looking to do that right away maybe down the road, for the most part most people i know in certain areas do pay their rent.
@Account Closed thank you i will do that, im trying to figure out what would be a good benchmark to go against for example, should the property i purchase be 10 to 20% below market value, should i buy short sales or foreclosures than rehab them refinance them than rent them out etc. something of that sort of line.
