@Ashley Guerra - I live and invest outside of Philadelphia, so I can't comment on your specific markets in central and south Jersey, but can provide my perspective on things to think about to help your decision.1) I would consider speaking to 3-5 people/investors in each market you are considering (central and south Jersey) to listen to their thoughts on pros/cons of the area and how they invest.

Sorry I couldn't help the dad-joke.

Maybe God can help them, but I give up lol 

This all comes back to a data sheet to help us run our numbers. 

Follow along in case anything is helpful for you too!

I have my RE license but primarily focus on off-market deals and helping out of state investors get started there by plugging them into my team and helping them from start to finish do BRRRR deals.Anyway, happy to connect with you or anyone else.

Talking with an experienced QI like @Dave Foster can help you with the rules. 

(It also helps if the banker knows you, knows what your business does, and you have positive bank account history.)Hope this helps!

I'm in the program and it's been extremely helpful.

We help investors do BRRRR's in Detroit.
