Markets with relatively affordable housing may offer more opportunities for investment.Rental demand: Markets with a high demand for rental properties can be attractive to investors, as they may be able to generate steady rental income.Foreclosure activity: Markets with a high number of foreclosures may offer opportunities to buy properties at a discount, but they may also be riskier due to the potential for lower property values.Transportation: Markets with good transportation networks, such as access to public transit or major highways, may be more attractive to renters and buyers.Amenities: Markets with a wide range of amenities, such as shopping, dining, and entertainment options, may be more attractive to renters and buyers.Ultimately, the best market for you will depend on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation.

There is the trolley in downtown which allows for some public transportation as well.

Become familiar with comparable sales, market rents, proximity to points of interest (transportation, shopping, downtown areas,etc), and begin running numbers.

Our proximity and transportation to NYC makes North Jersey extremely desirable especially for house hackers. 

I had an idea to provide bicycles as transportation.

Areas like Lawrenceville, East Liberty, Bloomfield, and Highland Park have exhibited favorable potential due to their proximity to amenities, transportation, and the continuous growth of the local economy.

Surely, more businesses will pop up, more residential and we're sure to see an influx of travelers with the new ease of transportation. 

Stay close to public transport, transit oriented hubs and developments i.e 1888 film studio coming to Bayonne coming to Bayonne's old Texaco site which will be NJs largest film studio and walkable!!

Personally I prefer the Height property just based on appearance, it's a nicer property, however, my reservation is its distance from transport and local amenities like grocery stores.
