Any resources or tips on how to best go about making sure I have a checklist of the items needed to be successful?

2 tips.   1.

Pro-tip: Find SFRs with multiple living spaces (ADUs/mother-in-law suites) and house hack those.

I understand getting the property and house built at the right price is critical Any tips and tricks are appreciated. 

Thanks again for the tips. 

Thanks for the tip Andrew!

Having an LLC I see alot of my accountant between sales taxes, income taxes and has given me numerous advice/tips over the years. worth every penny.

@Caroline Gerardo Lots of good tips. 

I've went through a pre-approval from different lenders and it looks like I'm eligible to purchase up to 760-780k depending on the property that I buy.My gross income is about 119k / FICO 750-770 / paying student loan $560/moI'm looking for an advice to purchase a property in Bergen County, NJ - specifically leaning into Fort Lee & surrounding areas.I prefer to purchase a multifamily property but it looks like my purchasing power is a bit out of a reach in Fort Lee.I'm also starting to learn that Fort Lee is not a good rental investment area with my purchasing power.My main intention is to get somebody to live with me so it lowers my monthly payment, rather than creating a massive cash flow or return ATM.So I'm also open to buy a single family house that can have a solid layout for a room or basement rent.The fact of the matter is, I'm really not sure about the housing market in Bergen County and NJ in general so please give me a tip/info/advice!

I would love any tips or suggestions.
