@Ryan Goldfarb I have researched a couple of different areas. I am interested in the woodbridge area preferably downtown near the train station. I live nearby so I would be in my comfort zone plus there is a convenience factor.. I am also considering Asbury Park. (About 40 mins away from where I am now) I an intrigued by Asbury bc have noticed a turnaround over the past few years. Majority of the homes are in C neighborhoods. But there has been revitalization on/near the boardwalk with a hipster vibe.

Sorry @Account Closed, I missed this.
Woodbridge and that neck of the woods are not my area of expertise, but when in doubt, you're always better off near a train station.
My mom grew up going to the Jersey Shore back when Springsteen was making a name for himself playing gigs in Asbury, so I've been hearing about it for years. I've driven around a few times but don't know it too intimately. I know it has a cool vibe and has become a bit of a destination in recent years, but I'd be more likely to consider something like that as a hybrid investment/summer vacation spot than as a full-time investment.
Are you looking to buy and hold? Fix and flip? Single-families or multis?
