I'm looking to purchase a newly renovated 2 family home in Jersey City Heights less than a block from public transportation into the city. 

First, you aren't going to save much (if anything), second, you gonna depend a lot on transportation (either UBER or use your own car and pay for parking).

There's a lot of warehousing, transporting, farming, etc.. industries there.

The estimated total population as of April 1, 2010 was 4,238,736 million, estimated to reach 4,569,642 in 2015 – a projected 7.8% growth between 2010-2015.The Bay Area has easy access to local, national, and international markets due to a good transportation system, a major international airport, and deep-water port with access to the Gulf of Mexico.

You will need to have a civil engineer, traffic/transportation engineer, lawyer, architect and others involved to developer plans.

Train=Job=Rent Paid and most of the Philadelphia neighborhoods have strong transportation.

All my NJ Real estate anchors near transportation and have had stronger appreciation and rental increases over the years.

I also work full-time in the Aviation Section of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.Although I am currently working as an agent servicing clients, my interest now is to use my license and experience to allow me to develop a passive income source. my short term goals are to develop my "toolbox" of skills for locating good deals, analyzing them to determine the best type of transaction for the situation, and obtaining the funding to execute the transactions.Long term, my goals would be to put those skills to use in slowly building a portfolio of properties that would allow me to have some options in designing a lifestyle that will allow me to accomplish the things I want in life, both professionally and personally.I'm only just starting to dig into the Bigger Pockets world with the podcasts, forums, and books, but I thought I'd take a few minutes to introduce myself first.

I've obviously noticed the higher than average crime rate, but it also has lost of rehabbable multi families, a large number of people looking to rent and a reasonably low vacancy rate, and new programs and infrastructure(they just put in a new sidewalk and they have better than average public transportation).

Student wants living space, ideally own room, ambience, public transportation (if available), in house laundry, price, and proximity to shopping centers / fun places.
