I want to focus (I think) on family-friendly higher end neighborhoods. 

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).

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

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.

I will also look for houses with deferred maintenance and search them to see if there is an absentee owner and/or older in age, maybe ready to move or downsize!

Highlight nearby conveniences and any neighborhood growth to attract interest.Focus on framing the size as a bonus that buyers get more space and value for their money compared to smaller homes.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

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

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.
