I have very busy days so to stop and spend quality time with a stranger to teach them what I know when I haven't seen my closest friends in weeks.. is far beyond what I'd like to do at noon on a Monday haha.

It’s completely updated very nice comparative to houses around it without some of the upgrades so it has maintained interest as well as long term quality renters.

Buy Quality for your first buy and hold, not just numbers.

I can't speak with experience to any of the markets you've suggested, but finding quality value-add deals in Union City, and anywhere in Hudson County, at this point, is going to be quite a challenge, unless you're sourcing deals yourself or have some other form of deal flow.

Property management companies for the most part are all about the quantity of properties they have rather than the quality of properties and the quality of their property managers.

Especially from a good quality tenant...you're right it'll cost me less in the long run.

Thank you so much for the information - I've been looking into quality meet-ups in the area and this sounds perfect for where I'm at in the process right now so I will likely be there.

The unit I saw when viewing the property was definitely the best unit as far as quality and clutter. 1.

My hope is that this discussion will give me and others here a basic point of reference to form quality questions from when I sit with my attorney.

I buy solid, high quality / low maintenance properties, in great, blue collar neighborhoods.
