Where to HouseHack in Jersey Shore of Ocean/Monmouth
Hello everyone!
I'm pretty new to all this but I'm hoping to really get into house hacking a 2+ unit property in the shore area in Ocean and Monmouth County by this time next year. My range is basically from Toms River to Seaside Park all the way up to Tinton Falls through Long Branch.
I'd prefer to stay in Ocean County or southern Monmouth but maybe something more up north would work better for me. Regardless it seems like there's not many multiple unit properties available in these areas.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what areas or towns to keep an eye on? Has anyone successfully house hacked in these areas? Are there any areas that have really vast tradeoffs like being cheaper or more secure? Am I missing anything by focusing more on multifamily homes? Should I just rent and look into out of state investing? Any other tips besides leaving Jersey?
