Winter doesn't bring too much extra cost as long as the home doesn't have outdated appliances and has sufficient insulation.

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).

The problems with the project mostly stemmed from the crawl space work, which required shoring, replacing structural members, leveling floors and insulation. 

*Development plans for expanded Hoffman Town Center*Although specific tenants have not been named yet due to the development being in the earlier design and planning stages, the vision as described by Hoffman Co. is a commercial and residential mixed-use development including a new public school, storage center, city agency training, a farmer's market, festival space, beer garden, and "other similar uses approved by the city".Sources:Developer laying groundwork to go bigger in Alexandria’s Eisenhower corridorAlexandria considering big plans for properties next to Eisenhower Avenue Metro stationPotomac Yards Alexandria: The 2$ Billion Sports Arena is not the Biggest Development in the Pipeline for Potomac YardsThe Sports Arena was a recent idea that was part of a bigger plan approved in 2017, that called for a massive shopping center at Potomac Yards and the surrounding area to be redeveloped into 1.9 million square feet of office space, 1.1 million square feet of residential space, 900,000 square feet of retail, 300 room hotel, and 9.3 acres of open space by JPG Smith.

You will see that this is a pretty tight knit community and you will soon find yourself surrounded by the right people if you put in the time and effort to connect with people. 

They were encroaching onto the property, and beginning to surround me.

Not enough people to generate the demand to sell enough houses for that size property and not enough people for a factory or something to come to because they wouldn't be able to get enough employees from the surrounding areas.Is that a good hunting area?

The surrounding lots are developed and have houses, It is not a closed community but it looks like one.

U want an attorney NOW to explain to you in detail the laws surrounding how the mechanics work.

Happy to talk further on the area (we are large enough to offer options to focus on student rentals/UW Madison campus, and anything from Class C to A locations or suburban/surrounding communities) but to help you consider broad initial search, you could start by deciding how important cash flow is.
