I’m looking to purchase my first Multi-family home and/or complex in New Jersey. I’m looking for advice on what’s the optimum way of doing so particuliarly in New Jersey. 

Anyone local to either Bergen county or Manalapin area would be preferred but all comments are appreciated 

Thanks

Hi @Account Closed. Owner occupied Duplexes is what my wife and I are doing.  The properties we find tend to need updating or major renovation. It is tough to find turnkey type properties in NJ that cash flow.  I am currently in Union County, in the process of purchasing next duplex in Essex County.  We stay close to public transportation, particularly train stations.
