Lastly, look for access to mass transit, major traffic routes etc.

Three years ago, I transitioned the duplex into a triplex.  

You have 3 years to save for your 22YO transition.

What is the best way to handle the transition?

Question: Is there a way that I could transition my existing tenants into a subsidized rent program?

I could use that money to transition into the bigger investments (apartment complex).I have two properties in California which do not bring me that much positive cash flow, but have gained a lot of value over the last 5 years.

All residents have been served papers for the transition to new property management.

Greetings.We are finally transitioning most of our rentals into working central AC units (we had 4-5 issues we're working through). 

But I do agree with investing in an area along a good public transit line into Camden, and starting checking out along the River Line, specifically Riverside, NJ. 

Maybe your first year you have to accept non-college students and transition totally in 2019?
