I'm living in Jersey City.

I can't specifically help you with regards to Irvington, New Jersey but I would definitely recommend going to your local REIA group meeting and asking who other investors there use.

The entire thread needed to be removed as the whole thing went off the rails with insults and nonsense that added nothing to the forums anyway, which is now done.PS: you were just being Jersey.

I live in New Jersey and recently purchased a duplex in Columbus, Ohio, with my realtor managing everything remotely, including inspections and virtual tours.

The length of time before actual foreclosure would range from a little as 21 days in Texas to “years” in New Jersey and New York, and many other “judicial” foreclosure states.  

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on well-established groups that host meet ups in north / central New Jersey. 

It's the same on the Jersey coast where my in-laws had a house for decades.  

Here’s my current calculus in my area of New Jersey NJ - each 1 furnished room rents for $1000-1200/mo with like 5% vacancy and each furnished 2 bedroom apartment rents for $2500-3000/mo with 10-15% vacancy.

One was a Chinese owned in NYC and another was owned by Hasidic Jew in New Jersey.

Yes, I am licensed in New Jersey as well.
