Hello everyone, my name is Portia Bright born,raised and sauteed in Harlem New York :-)  I moved  into a townhome in Hackensack NJ 2 yrs agoI am actively researching where to purchase my first multi family home(2-4 doors).

One has been tenant for 3.5 yrs.

We inhearited 2 tenants that were had been there for 3 yrs.

I bought the house for $65K (3 yrs ago) and have since aggressively down on that loan. 

I am expecting to add around $100,000 of value, but i suspect i can get more (contractor is a friend with super cheap rates,  RE market is really good, 3-5 yrs of political stabilization after a series of coups in the 90s and 00s and prime location).
