I will definitely research Fort Lee and the tri-cities. 

You are definitely off to a great start and if you JUST graduated college - you're in a good position to get your real estate investing career started.

If it were me I definitely wouldn't cash out retirement with those hefty penalties, you have 2 years to find something in the same pay range and area, maybe nothing comes up but it only takes one over the span of two years.

You've definitely come to the right place.

Assault with a deadly weapon and shooting on an occupied dwelling tend to only happen in the worst.Having lived there for over 10 years location is definitely #1 as the neighborhood quality can change pretty quickly from street to street, so make sure you work with someone who really knows the area.Other than that, be sure to do your due diligence on the property itself as @Abraham Bar suggested.

Definitely opportunities to be had if you know where to look.

Definitely looking to sell the whole lot in one transaction if possible.Thanks!

I definitely don't have the answers but it is interesting to see things changing a little bit. 

I definitely would have declined an application with that many tenants, but now they are accepting a rent increase which is pure profit on top of an already cash flowing property.
