I joined bigger pockets for the vast amount of information, and I'm also looking to connect with someone I can bounce my plan off of and get honest feedback.Where would be the best forum to post, in regards to discussing financing options I already have and which ones to choose, attack plans, and basic entry into the real estate market?  

I will say that I have seen such a massive spike in the prices of homes over that way that it in such a short period of time rents have not been able to keep pace to provide great returns.The vast majority of all of the properties that I have been working on lately have been over in the NE along the 35 corridors.

Hi All,i am pre-approved for 350K and have been looking to buy a multi-Family house in north Jersey ( Bloomfield, Montclair, Rutherford, glen ridge etc), for the last couple months.I am actively reading the forums in bigger pockets (thanks to all of you for the vast ocean of information).I basically look at GSMLS for listings.

I suspect its because one bedroom is small, but to most students that didn't matter, as it is more than sufficient for a full size bed and a desk.

It is self sufficient for now and has appreciated quite nicely.
