Just waiting on one of my houses to sell.

We would like our next purchase to be a small multi-family property that we can house hack.

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.

It offers coverage for guests even when they are away from the house.

Determined to buy a house to fix and flip and looking to find someone I can connect with to maybe show me the ropes!

You’ll probably end up having to pay any buyer’s agent a commission so you’re really trying to save 1-2% max on your seller’s agent before you pay for advertising, professional photos, doing the open houses and showings and paying to be on the MLS.

I have a neighbor right next-door to me whose house is in pretty bad shape.

Reading up on Montgomery County, MD but can't definitely tell - When does a house hack fall into an ADU?
