Would anyone mind sharing their experiences as a MF investor in Newark City and/or East Orange. Thanks

You can't be an out-of-towner to invest in Newark or East Orange in my opinion, unless you have a very good agent or advisor. These areas can have potentially great returns when done right, but many fall prey to looking at the increasing ARVs and thinking they apply all over. Both areas have to be evaluated within the context of the block within the greater blocks to really understand what your appreciation will look like, which is a big plus to cash flow when it's hard to hit close to 1% rule.
