check Regency Village in North Plainfield, not too far from Edison area.

On the other hand, I use Yelp and find out what people think of their building department and can get some insight on what I am walking into should repairs be in order.http://www.yelp.com/biz/village-of-brookfield-broo...Generally, if you take a couple hours online and do some research, you can avoid a lot of hidden issues.

Also, my house in Maryland is in Chesapeake Beach (Chesapeake Village neighborhood).

@Upen Mody,While I understand your pain, I would think that it is up to us as the prospective end-buyers to verify the wholesaler's deal analysis and/or comparables, as appropriate and base our decisions on our own findings.I agree that what ever someone is selling, it would be wonderful if they didn't hype it to the heavens and leave us to sort truth from exaggeration and fiction.

I really like Charles Village, Locust Point, Federal Hill, etc., but I am buying for cash flow and it doesn't seem that for the purchase price in those areas that rent prices do not make up for the difference.

Hi, I have two investment properties in Jersey City and I currently rent in the West Village in NYC. 

I heard stories about the village here, and we had our own permitting issues as well. 

Kevin, We do a ton of work in Wicker Park, Bucktown, UK Village, Noble Squre (50+ buildings).  

Silver, echo park, Atwater village, Eagle Rock etc etc.

I've read some people here on the forums warn that investments in properties at less than $40k/unit usually turn into money pits, so I'm cautious of the latter option, but would love to be able to capitalize on the appreciation that has made some early investors in the Short North and German/Merion Village areas rich.
