I would recommend focusing on good school districts where people want to be, which is going to dictate over average price and rent appreciations. 

Wow and I thought I was old school!!

I became a realtor, what I would love to do is move to a place like Mexico but I have kids still in school. 

Also the school districts have been increasing property taxes in A LOT of investment properties thus eating some of our profits. 

You decided to become a real estate agent.You went to school, bought your books, passed your exam, got hired by a broker, ordered business cards and took a head shot.

Experienced managers can help evaluate potential investments by providing insights on rental demand, market rents, tenant preferences, and location-specific factors that affect leasing success.For example, rental properties need to be close to conveniences like major roads, shopping, and schools.

Northern NJ is not the best place for retirement but it is a great place to raise a family due to the great schools and for those needing easy access to NYC.

New construction, townhome style or even small simple house style - coupled with nice neighborhood amenities, and in a good school zone 

The home is in a nice area with good school.

Funny story is my ex wife's mother went to grammar and high school with OJ.
