However, achieving success in this space requires more than purchasing property—it takes strategy.

Hey Jaron, congrats on the success thus far.

Very few successful investors get by without experiencing their fair share of bad tenants/evictions.Selling tenant-occupied properties with uncooperative tenants is challenging in NY. 

Hi there :)
I'm brand new to real-estate investing but motivated to take action and start gaining momentum on my dreams of building a portfolio of properties. 
I currently own a townhouse (2400 sqft, 4bd, 3bth) in E...

Congratulations on your success and hope to see more of your stories. 

@Christian Artusoyes - short answer: don't start with a long distance BRRRR.the more hands-on you can be, the more likely your BRRRR is to be successful. 

Purchase price: $160,000 Sale price: $170,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven and Jamari Sprueil secured this Dover Ct property in Riverdale, GA, for $160,000 and successfully sold it for $170,000 on the same day.

I had the lightswitch moment after investing in NC for a while and I would get ok cash flow, but the properties I owned all doubled in value in about 5-6 years and I realized I could appreciate my way to financial success much faster than I could cash flow my way there. 

Simply put the concept of live in one unit rent out the other is not a strategy, there is much more to successfully house hacking in NJ. 

Not to say it can't be done... but I don't think there's any "one size fits all" deal structure.
