@Mark Nolan - Thanks Mark! I appreciate the words and yes, the podcasts are what got me here, haha!

@Kenneth B. - Thanks for the tip, Kenneth! I actually set that right after reading that. Really appreciate it. 

@Michael S. - Thanks Mary, I appreciate the words!

@Andrew Elkins - Andrew, thanks for this post. Insightful stuff. I'm in contract for a property in the West Side Ave/Bergen-Laf section right now, and have been hesitant to look into Greenville for all the reasons you usually see everywhere. I would love to connect further and learn a little more from you. Feel free to shoot me a message.

@Jason Deutsch - not sure if you're still looking, but I just bought in the Heights 2 months ago and would love to answer any questions you have. I also worked with a great realtor who was instrumental in closing the deal, so feel free to shoot me a message and I'll send you all his info. Good luck!

Sorry for the double post, it's been a long day, haha.

Thanks Nick! Just shot you a message. 

What's up everyone,

I'm a recent home buyer/investor located in Jersey City, NJ. A few months ago, I closed on a condo in the Heights neighborhood (after going through a brutal sellers market), and am currently in the process of closing my first investment property. 

I would love meet more people in the area as well as get some feedback from anyone with experience investing in the JC/Union City/Newark areas. There's definitely a lot of activity going on here and it reminds me a lot of what happened in Brooklyn, NY (lived there for the 8 years prior).

Particularly, I am curious about less touted sections of JC -- West Side Ave, Bergen-Lafayette and the areas around there. Do you see these areas being more popular for rentals now that a lot of JC has become expensive, and does anyone have experience with rental properties in and around there? I know crime and safety and still major issues in this area, which I'm sure is one of the reason why investors haven't piled in here yet. 

Look forward to hearing any thoughts/feedback. Thanks!

What's up everyone, 

After many months of listening to the BP podcasts and lurking on the forums, I've decided to jump in for good! Actually, my tipping was point was, after recently recommending BP to a friend, I found out that he had already started posting and meeting up with people, while I was still tip-toeing the diving board. The early bird...well, you know what happens.

Outside of real estate, I'm a big Boston Celtics fan, I work in the music industry and my favorite city in the world to visit is Tokyo. Look forward to getting to know y'all!
