for adding apartments up high in a home you will need to put in fire escapes which can be costly fyi.as you know edgewater/hoboken are the areas to be right now for up and coming although not sure about the REI opportunities there.also i agree with the poster to look for public transportation lines in those areas and try to purchase accordingly.

As a civil engineer with a concentration in transportation, I am trying to understand how others have used their Professional Engineers License to benefit their personal real estate ventures. 

All of the main activities of daily living will be provided, including 3x meals, transportation, medication management, laundry & housekeeping, wellness/recreational etc. 

If you invest in a location that is desirable, has a diverse economic base, good transportation, access to desirable amenities, and a reasonably pleasant climate, you'll come out okay, even if values go down in the near future. 

On the services side, margins led the way, with final demand trade services (margins to wholesalers and retailers) rising 0.8%, and final demand services less trade, transportation, and warehousing (think hospitals, financial services, and lodging) increasing 0.4%.

The closer your property is to public transportation, famous landmarks, etc., the more likely you are to run a successful operation.

@Logan Caudill without even seeing the numbers I don't see this as being very profitable at $450 rents by the time you add all the associated costs (land, homes, transport, set up, decks, utilities and I would use at least a 50% expense ratio and more realistically a little higher). 

While you do need some means of transportation to visit your rental property, you would not normally buy a new truck for occasional trips.

I'm looking for help in where I could potentially buy one, how to arrange for transport, any permitting for transport or government auction maybe?
