Olga Roginkin would you have any leads on a good area in NJ, an hour commute is definitely do able and with good schools around is definitely a plus. The area your talking about would perfectly fit what I'm looking for if you could Elaborate, if not thank you very much!

This is really basic but I'm going to be doing the majority or my "shopping" from California and only will have a realtor if it is suggested when my sister actually goes out there. What do you guys think the best way sites etc is the best way to go about this as a buyer?

Exactly, she will be working in the heart of manhattan. She is a single 25 y.o. And this will be her first move out of the state as well, is there any catch to buying property out of state? So will be looking to have her house hack by getting a 2 or maybe 3 bedroom so hopefully enough to pay the mortgage and get a little cash off the back end. Is the housing market there looking like a buyers market ready to explode or a sellers looking stagnant?

My sister is moving to NY and was going to rent, I would much rather purchase a home and she will pay the mortgage as well as have another tenant pay rent that we will split. I know nothing about NY and would like to know what areas would be safe for my sister, profitable for us both (especially if we decided to sell in a few years), and convenient to commute to work. I have just started to scrape the surface of the market there and am not opposed to her living in NJ if there is a reasonable property and convenient any ideas on this whole situation or questions to clarify. Also this will be my first property not looking to go above 200,00$. Please any info is much appreciated!
