Worth and surrounding communities I can recommend for great rental properties.

I really hadn't considered many properties outside of the 465 loop since I'm much more familiar with the city itself than the surrounding suburbs.

The houses in the surrounding area are all going for $500k+ but this is the only one on the major road, the rest are in the adjacent neighborhood.

The tenant, an elderly woman, lit a fire in the fireplace (14 hours) and it started a fire in the house burning all surrounding areas.

The Villages have pretty much surrounded us and actually have built a recreation park along one side of our property, another side is lake front.

My other concern is that the property is 150 years old and I'd be expanding to an area where my main bank does not do business in; The town has 5,000 people and surrounding areas with 40,000 people so I wanted to get a feel and see what the BP community had experienced in this situation.  

I’d love to ask questions and gain some more insight on the market and learn the do’s & don’t’s when buying my first 2-family home.I’m currently looking at middlesex county, monmouth county, mercer county and have at times looked at areas like North Newark, Kearny, etc, but my ideal location is middlesex county and a radius of 15 miles surrounding it.Reach out, i’d love to chat with everyone!

Being a new to the investment world, I’m trying to take advise from others and surround myself great tax and legal professionals, to make sure I have a clear understanding as to what all I will need going forward for my business.

It seems there are so many boxes to check to ensure the market I choose to invest in will provide the most appreciation long term: low crime rate, employment growth, acceptable median income, attractive surrounding cities, etc..

It's also crucial to surround yourself with the right people.There are many people that you will need to surround yourself with.
