First and foremost, it's important to note that there is really no single right answer for your marketing decisions, because each of your decisions can only be made relative to YOUR unique objectives.  

The smartest thing is what works best for your unique investing situation.

What unique obstacles do apartments present?

It’s unique to say everyone has a story in Real Estate.

It’s a long term hold, very unique property that would work well as a vacation rental.

I'm currently in a unique situation.

Given that it sounds like you already work hard and have a nice family (profile photo), I would suggest allocating any additional precious income-producing time to something where you have unique skills, a competitive advantage and can maximize your hourly pay rate. 

Hello everyone.I've run into a rather crazy/unique situation.

Each neighborhood is unique.  

I have recently made my first investment in the area and will be a "house hacking" a unique property in Union City, NJ (2 detached single family homes (3br & 2br) on a single property that includes a dedicated parking spot in addition to a car port, out door space, and a bus stop to Manhattan on the corner) Any and all feed back regarding what I can expect for rent rolls, appreciation, development of the area, etc... would be greatly appreciated.Lastly, I would love to join any local meetup groups and more than happy to grab a coffee with investors in the area to network and see how we can help each other.Thanks,Wayne
