Have you considered house hacking? 

My purchasing power can afford me a house down there and I also work in South Jersey (Cherry Hill) and live in central jersey.

Both larger 5 bed houses near BSU. 

Nobody wants to stay in the house hack.

I like the area and wanted to use the house as a vacation home.

My wife and I wouldn't have done it when raising kids and now that they are out of the house, we still wouldn't.But we love rentals. 

Hi BP,I own 2 rental properties in Baltimore MD and i am first having trouble deciding on whether to place them in an LLC or not (I plan to slowly scale and house hack a new property once a year).

I am in the process of buying a venue with 15 cabins and was wondering if I decided to live there. Could I get a conventional loan on the property? The interest rates are crazy, and most term limits are 15 to 20 years...

We bought the house in 2021 and have a 3.5% interest rate. 

Are you looking to get an investment property at 20% down or a primary residence you can house hack (rent the rooms in the house you are living in), or a primary residence (better for people who are married/have kids/don't want roommates) where you live in it for 12 months then rent it when you buy your next property to repeat the process.
