NJ newbie looking for Duplex in College towns- Eastern PA
Hello BP community.
After getting married, first home (townhouse) into second home (SFH) and job stability I am finally ready to acquire my first rental property! I am living in NJ just outside the NYC area and have found that the cost of property VS rental&taxes just doesnt seem to add up for my budget (250K). Therefore I am turning my attention toward eastern PA. I have heard from many, that areas with large/medium Universities can be promising. I have some experience as I rented all through college and later during grad school. So in short, I thought this would be a good place to start. I would love to hear any feedback for any of the above regarding location or strategy in general. Also if anyone knows a good agent in Monroe County PA that would be great!
Thanks In Advance! Looking forward to making new connections!
