Or commute to Jersey?  

I'm actually reading the Long Distance Investing book right now by Mr.

@Jeremy Taggart HiFirst, we had limited options to areas when we have some connection, we thought long distance investing have to hold some control from local party (family member, a friend).

How do you feel about brrrr'ing a 4-plex thats an hour+ drive away?? Property management seems like a must for me. I found a 4 plex with great numbers but my wife is saying its too far. Thoughts?

I would try and look around a short commute area.

Gloucester City, Oaklyn, Clayton, Glassboro, and even Blackwood all MFHs where you can househack and be only a couple hundred dollars out of pocket.If you want to break even you could venture down to Vineland/Milville/Salem but you have to be prepared for a longer commute north and have a thicker hide.Best Luck!

Hi all,My wife and I are currently looking at long distance investing, buy+hold rental properties outside of our local area.

Currently, I’m located in the California Bay Area and the market is hot so I’m looking into long distance investing in a cheaper market (no predetermined market just yet).

Walking distance to the Philly train and Main St. w/ good breweries, restaurants and shops.

Neil we've been targeting low property tax town next to train stations in easy commuting distances to NYC.
