My strategy in Arizona has been adding bedrooms and renting by the room - currently getting 850-950/room in nice neighborhoods.

I recently moved to Jersey City and I'm interested in buying a multi-family property in the area (specifically 07302/Hoboken and surrounding neighborhoods).

That is difficult to answer because even within neighborhoods, there are B,C, and D pockets.

I’m Arizona licensed and while I’m not an attorney or CPA, I’ve got a pretty wide network of investor-savvy agents and property mangrs who I trust.. folks who actually roll up their sleeves and dive into the trenches.The right guidance can help you identify stable neighborhoods in Austin where job growth still hums along nicely, or link you up to off-market multifamily properties in San Antonio that don’t get splashed across public listings.

Since your metric is modest cash flow with long-term appreciation, focus on neighborhoods with a history of steady growth and tenant stability.As a realtor, you already have the skills to analyze deals—so trust your instincts and take action!

The neighborhood I'm considering are Southwest Fort Worth, the Alliance corridor and Melissa/Anna.

I agree with Jaycee, but be cautious with other organizations having a "master lease" on your property.

Purchase price: $340,000 Cash invested: $20,000 I bought a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in a great neighborhood where my wife and I wanted to live and start a family.

Back when a close friend of mine; he’s a commercial landlord in Phoenix who once took on a quircky triplex in a tough neighborhood..decided to reshuffle his insurance setup, I saw firsthand how getting stuck in a clunky policy can really stall your forward momentum.

On the other hand, passive strategy will buy more expensive house at a nicer neighborhood.
