@Brett Grz Hey Brett where are you located? Happy to help. I've built a small portfolio in just a couple of years in the multi family space. Feel free to reach out. I've surrounded myself with agents who invest primarily so if I don't have the answer to a question I can certainly find out

@Pierre Antoine Mbe Fokam Welcome! Here are some of the strategies that I used to scale my portfolio in a short period of time in NJ. 1) Partnering. This is key as it's hard to have all 3 pieces (Money people deal) to acquire the property. 2) Raising Money. You will, no matter how much $ you make in your job eventually run out of $. Many businesses do the same when growing. 3) Networking all the time. This is where you never know what connection you can make to fit into #1 and #2.

@Simbo Toe Multi family in south NJ is where I invest. Happy to assist. 

@Neel Save Hey Neel, Agree with the folks here, house hacking the way to go. 400k in those markets is going to be tough unless its in disrepair or in tougher location. There are other areas in NJ that could very well fit the mold you are looking for though depending on your criteria. Happy to discuss or assist further. 

@Alden Fernandes  Hey Alden, If I was in your position I would begin attending meetups in your local areas. Attend many and various kinds of these events and do so frequently. You will eventually build rapport with people who are experienced, and actively investing in the type of asset and location you are looking for. Your best bet would be to partner with these folks, learn the ropes, accelerate your learning curve and then over time do this on your own. 

@Aidan Herrera Hey Aidan sorry for your loss. I believe your best bet is to get educated and partner with people so you can learn exactly what it is you want to invest in, how to invest in it, and why you want to invest in it. The best way to learn is by doing and having someone with experience, positive outcomes guide you. This will accelerate your learning curve & reduce your expenses. You can meet experienced people like this at meetup events or one on ones with people in the industry here. Happy to guide you on your journey. I am a fellow multi fam investor in NJ myself.

@Abraham Berkowitz Welcome to the forums! There are plenty of other markets or asset classes that may fit your needs of improved cashflow and steadiness of tenants. I invest in Newark but also invest down in South NJ. Better bang for your buck in my opinion and the rents are rising. Can also consider investing in different asset classes or partner with other folks to continue to get a return on your money without dealing with the tenants, toilets, trash and other headaches
