(South Jersey) However, things are pretty expensive in my area, I wanted to start out with duplex/triplex however any one that I find needs a ton of work or is just way too expensive for my budget.

I have a client who is in the process of selling an investment property in Miami and is looking to 1031 into a property in New Jersey where she currently resides.

I just was discharged from the USAF where I served as a heavy pilot flying C-17s in May of this year (2023)I am now an active realtor with KW (license no. 2331741) and am on here to connect with folks interested in the South Jersey area for investment real estate. 

My short term goal right now is to buy a duplex or triplex in Jersey City, Journal Square area near the path train. 

I am a local real estate investor in south jersey.

@Robert Gilstrap We're in New Jersey.

But generally, Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, Southern Texas, almost any southern state, almost any mid west state but avoid the obvious - California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania - all have high taxes and failing pension funds so taxes will only go higher.States with large illegal populations are going to see dramatic increases in vacancies and you want to avoid vacancies.

I'm from New Jersey and theres a city; Newark NJ.

Hi @Jorge Hernandez - I work for a real estate investing company and we manage short term rentals for investors along the Jersey Shore. 

Hi Josiah,I ended up taking a 2-week class in-person class in New Jersey, which apparently satisfies the requirements to take NJ and PA licensure.
