Mark F., youd be surprised but there are opportunities in Essex for single families for around 400k in west orange, south orange, south montclair etc...

Lucia Rushton, I currently live in NYC. So moving out to Jersey is a lot easier and doing the move to Dallas which you're right, I have to live in the property for at least 6 months to use the VA loan

Hi everyone, I recently retired from the Army with total disability which means I'm fully Exempt from property Tax on my principle residence in NJ TX and FL (I heard they dont care if you rent after you lived in for some time). I am looking to buy a property using my VA loan live in it , renovated it and later on rent and refinance it, basically BRRR

I'm pre approved in NJ for 400K, in TX and FL for 600K.

in NJ I'm mostly interested in Essex county as long as it near the train to NYC. I like Fort Lee/ teaneck too, but seems harder to find deals over there. In TX I love Dallas but super competitive and far from me. In FL I was thinking of Orlando.

Does anybody have recommendations on how to take advantage of my property tax exemption and VA loan? What cities/areas you'd recommend to focus on ? Considering I can deduct the PT, cashflow should be better.

would you recommend TX or FL over north NJ?

Thank you for your advice !!!

Hi Guys! thanks for stopping by :)

I'm here to learn from Y'all and seek some advice!

I currently live in SD CA, learning the local RE market, but regardless. I am interested in investing in TX/NYC/NJ and leverage the Veteran benefits (like VA home loan) and my disability benefits (full property tax exemption in some states like TX or NJ)

I have about 75-100K to invest, VA Home loan, TX VLB Loan, NY home for veteran loans and other states have similar loan programs for veterans.

my biggest debate is whether to buy my first property in Hudson County NJ (jersey city, Hoboken) or DFW TX.

another thing, anyone has experience doing business with Federal or state government? anyone knows about Service Disabled veteran-owned small business?

Thank you! looking forward to hearing from you!
