@Giovanni DiBlasio Hey, I was looking into maybe investing around the Keansburg area for a FHA house hack. I'm currently living in a house hack in Newark & plan to have this place fully rented as I move into the next one. Is there any insight you can give on the area?

@Ana Klein hey Ana thank you so much. I’ll check them out.

Hey all,

Just wanted to know if anyone could point me in the direction of a good real estate attorney in essex county New Jersey. I’d like to have the taxes on my property assessed & hopefully lowered. There was apparently supposed to be a tax abatement applied to the property but it never was so my taxes are a lot higher than what was estimated at closing. Can anyone offer some help on this situation? I’d appreciate it.

Hey all, I’m a first time home buyer in New Jersey doing my first house hack. I recently discovered that there is a little water trickling from outside into my unit through the ceiling causing the paint to bubble & crack a bit. I was wondering if anyone can connect me with a good contractor or someone who can come & take a look at this issue for me. Doesn’t seem like a big fix but I could definitely use a professional opinion. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hey BP community,

I just recently purchased a 2 family in Newark & I am currently house hacking while saving to purchase another property. I’d like to do some work on the unit that I’m living in & was wondering if anyone could recommend a good contractor in the Essex county / Newark area.

@Angelique Diaz Hey, Angelique. Could you by any chance share some of the details of that deal in North Newark? I actually live in North Newark & Have been very interested in investing in the area but I still have some research to do. Also, are there any meetups or groups in the area for new investors?

Hey BP community,

I'm curious to know whether I can save on closing costs by purchasing 2 SFH at once. Does anybody know? I believe I heard a guest mention doing this on the Bigger Pockets podcast but they didn't give much detail. Is this a common thing?

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knew any good inspectors/inspection companies with decent pricing. I’m looking to have a duplex inspected. There’s a leak from the roof in one of the units, which is currently being rented out, & I’d like to see if it’s a major issue or if it’s possibly a simple fix.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of some good fair priced inspectors?
