Where to house hack in New Jersey
I am looking to purchase a multifamily in New Jersey to house hack via FHA loan. I have two school aged children and need an area that has good schools and is within 40-50 mins from Staten Island (I will be commuting to work there). The area has to also be desirable so I can rent the second unit. I plan on staying there 1-2 years, refinance, and move out.
Do you have any recommendations for such areas in NJ that will appreciate over time and are desirable for people to want to rent (as I plan to hold on to the property long term)?
Thank you all in advance for your recommendations and input.
