Buy & hold investing in NJ impossible? Anyone from NJ investing outside of the state?

Hey Everyone!

I have been actively listening and learning on bigger pockets for about 6 months. Since then i have been looking for buy & hold properties in my state of New Jersey AKA Dirty Jerz lol

After running a ton of numbers on hundreds of properties it is really hard to find a cash flowing property because taxes and home values are soooooo high!

Anyone from NJ investing in NJ for buy and hold or any of our neighboring states like PA or CT?

NJ can be quite lucrative.  Finding deals is far from impossible.  The biggest issue is that NJ has a higher barrier to entry than most areas and to me that's good.  Keeps those who want but can't out of the market.
