I'm in port Jefferson station n work for Coldwell banker in Mt Sinai :))

I was in the Navy, stationed overseas with two rentals I'd purchased in 2004 and 2005 with very little money down. 

I’m looking to house hack and haven’t seen any multi family in central NJ that makes sense or in areas close to the train station for my NY commute

@Padric Lynch Semper FiI currently have a rental property in Hubert while I am stationed in Okinawa.

@Jaron Walling:  That's kinda like saying a milkyway bar cost 5 cents in 1960 and now it's $1.50 and you can't buy it in a service station that washes your windows when you pull in.

However, due to my researching it appears some sewer department services (an uplift station) will need to be upgraded.  

Just ponder the probable fate of the absconding tenant with a used major appliance....Think how the tenant probably is sore from trying to carrying it away quietly in the night; may have messed up their old SUV or station wagon trying to fit it in the back; and could have damaged the frig in the move--so all their food will spoil this week when it goes kaput; or they get an expensive repair and may even find out the hard way an old frig can be a liability and costly to dispose of...I like the advice of it being a small price to pay to be rid of them... but do consider a security deposit offset for the replacement cost.

Hi, my name is Leo I am currently stationed in Fort Campbell, KY.

I can't say it worked yet as I am negotiating pricing with multiple stations.

I take the train from NY to Rahway which stops at Elizabeth and North Elizabeth station.
