@Shanna Mosby In the 23222 area there are deals to be had, you really have to be on the ground there and find the deals where others have blazed the path and just ride their coat-talis, don't try to go in there and start on a new block.

We'll be house-hacking a 2-family detached house in Union City, NJ, about 12 min bus ride from Manhattan Port Authority.  

But it should be one hell of a ride.

There is a big difference in wind and hail insurance between Hurricane Zone 1 and Zone 2.

remember the cardinal rule about real estate ... it's the location first...you want the bad property in the best neighborhood...all the money is made in the buy. you buy wrong and your dreams will take a hit. trust no one with a conflict of interest ...the most dangerous sharks have beautiful pearly whites ...pay an old retired rehabber to ride around with you!

@Tyas Frantz  Hope you'er ready for a great ride to the top by using all the free tools and more.

., over 10 years ago, mainly riding the coattails of others. 

WOULD IT BE GOOD IDEA TO PAY  OUT   A RENTAL  HOUSE  AND SAVE ON THE INTEREST  ON THE LOAN OR  LET  THE  LOAN RIDE  AND  CONTINUE  TO MAKE PAYMENTS  LONG TERM ? 

My name is Cesar Romero, hailing from North Brunswick, NJ.

In the end I got a great deal for what is now a nice cash flowing property but it was an interesting ride to get to that closing table.
