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
