Congrats on looking to purchase your first home.

If you're looking in JC and Bayonne I'd try to get something closer to the Light Rail.Also, if you're not that familiar with the area the Trulia crime map can give you decent idea of how things change block to block, particularly if you're set on looking in Greenville.

But on looking closely I’ve found a lot of discrepancies in the prices - I’m assuming that depends on the location of the property. 

@Alexander Price thanks for the tips on looking outside of the MLS.

My colleague and I are exploring our options for a 6 unit apartment building in the Kansas city area.  It's listed at $125k and it grosses $2,550.  We are looking for someone to come in with us with there own terms or...

Keep on looking.

Just let her go and focus on looking a new tenant 

I plan on looking at our next home (single or multi-family) analytically to buy it right, so when I move again, I'll be happy with the outcome and cash flow and can focus on building a portfolio and part-time business that I can be proud of and maybe transition to after life on the move!

I will run some more numbers and I will plan on looking further into this.

Always on look out for that.In Seattle metroplex, appraisers are assessing equal value and that is what I have experienced but that said, you are the master and I am just starting in this field, would definitely discount the basement in future acquisitions.ThanksRegardsInder
