Hi @Stacie Elizabeth - First of all, your renovation is right in line with what all the other flippers are doing, so from here (online), it looks like what buyers are looking for these days!

Michael and Elizabeth Chang would be a great resource for you to check into, and recently I learned about Preston Seo but I don't know very much about him.

Check Bayonne, Maplewood, Union, Elizabeth, North Newark(near forrest hill) Linden, Bloomfield, the towns @Lior Solomon mentioned-- Lior made good points in his post as well.

@Elizabeth Colegrove that's totally what I thought!

I have a friend who is an agent in Elizabeth City if you want to start looking for homes. 

@Elizabeth RoseIt’s usually not the lenders who have the issue it’s the county and getting the documents recorded with the county.

We'd like to get closer to my work in Perth Amboy but need to be within reach of NYC so we're targeting the cities with NJ transit stations in eastern Union/Essex Counties (Rahway, Linden, Union, Elizabeth, Irvington, Oranges etc.)After saving and researching over the last couple of years we are finally ready to start putting our team together.

Look for BREW on Facebook, hosted by some good friends @Todd Nurnberger and his lovely wife Elizabeth and the kids.

Like Curt Davis and Elizabeth Wilson said, it all depends on the investor and their preference.

To reiterate what Elizabeth Wilson said you can’t really go by entire zip codes or not.
