Where are the best markets to target in and/or near NJ in 2025?

I signed up for their investor profile because I am interested in the appreciation in the North Texas (or northern suburbs of DFW) market.

Your realtor will be able to give you a much more detailed market specific answer but with house hacking and a VA loan it should be possible to get 0 out of pocket.

Welcome Surya, I work the Atlanta market.  

When I worked with a property management company, we had someone buy a unit (single family) that had a STR and marketed it as a STR.

I know this is also a National issue, especially in land constricted markets.

Very solid market, been investing there over 10 yrs and the rents continue to climb! 

If we are losing money every year, but do plan on holding on to it long term, with our goal being appreciation of the market and someone else paying a good chunk of our mortgage, is this worth doing on any level? 

The only two ways to rectify this are (1) purchase the property far below market price or (2) significantly increase the property net income usually through some method of “repositioning”. 

Networking and market research will be key to finding the right deals and scaling your portfolio.
