Anywhere the light rail runs would be considered a path of development, as there is an obvious need for alternative transportation, which to me means area growth. 

i think thats similar or even higher than boston ! 

I could also use some help learning about NJ population movement, housing supply, employment, planned public utilities, transportation, etc, if you know of any resources.

I think we spoke about this at the last meetup, but that $800k price point just has a limited buyer pool in this area.It may be worthwhile to talk to your listing agent about marketing the place in some unconventional ways, and also market it in areas outside of the Triangle such as Boston, San Fran, etc.

Many of them were no longer interested in making new investments in DC, NYC & Boston because the cap rates are becoming oppressively low in those markets.Philly has a few major issues it needs to address like tax structure, unions & the school system, but it is by no means a dying city.

What do most nurses do for transportation, now that Uber is so convenient do they require a car and how much of a premium is added for condos that are walking distance to hospital etc. 

One of the reasons that poor people remain poor is that they are the greatest consumers.....my lower income renters have the $1,500 tv's and latest smart phones but they take public transportation and will rent forever.

Why wouldn't such tests be taken before the goods are transported into the US?

I will definitely do some research on East New York, broadway junction is such a convenient transportation hub, which is excellent for the renters. 

Stick around the Boston area and continue to invest locally.
