If anyone spends 5 minutes in the area, they can see that they are hot! 

Shrewsbury, Marlborough and a few of the other boroughs in the area are hot at the moment.

Then don't forget to add the required air vent valves, (if you can find them) .

In hot markets like yours, you should (hopefully) see good appreciation of both property value and rent, and be able to cash out a decent amount via refi in a few years to reinvest.

I'm guessing if it's a hot market it lags behind the market rates. 

I've been running some analysis and on most of the deals available (it's still a hot market down here regardless of C 19) and the rental values are usually $200-$400 lower than the mortgage cost with FHA 3.5%- conventional 5% loans.

From what I hear, Hudson County market is hot due to people wanting to get out of NYC.

And man, by about 3pm my phone line was hot and so were the people calling!

Central Air.

I went today to check on the performance of the repaired unit and it was running (tenant used it from 9am - 5pm today) and the apartment was cooler and cooler air was blowing, but the temp inside the unit (500 sq ft studio) was still hovering around 75 degrees F, which still seems warm.
