Hi Everyone - I am looking to do my first house hack in New Jersey.

I live in New Jersey and I would love to connect with someone who can help breakdown the whole process for me.

That's because New York City's metro area, defined as places within commuting distance to the city center, encompasses Long Island and upstate New York as well as parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.   

Also, if there are any investors living nearby in the Hoboken/Jersey City area, I would love to connect!

I would love to start networking and connecting with other investors, especially around the Jersey City / NYC area, but also open to connecting with other investors over zoom.

Try moving down to Jersey or some of the outlying areas.

Originally we though we'd live in the condo 2 years and then the multifamily 2 years, but it'd be nice if the primary residence designation is easily changeable....if the multifamily does not close, then we would have the condo as our primary residence. not sure if that important of an issue...4) The contract that has disclosures about lead and radon...we live in New Jersey, so for renting we sign disclosures about lead, since all the houses here are old and anything prior to 70's will have lead, so in the contract when they have radon....lead....naturally occurring substances in New Jersey, is this standard in the contract?

The Jersey shore and surrounding areas are very attractive but you have to strongly consider seasonality and other costs like potential flooding and risk management that goes with that.  

This is exactly what I had in mind and I’ve already noticed SOME adjustments in a couple of areas in my state (Hoboken and some Jersey Shore towns with beachfront homes).
