@Darren Sager, that’s a great advice. Didn’t know that Newark had one of the strongest languages in rent control. Thank you so much! I’ll highly take your 2 cents into a consideration. 

@Antonio Cucciniello, No I live in NYC but looking for an investment property near Manhattan!

Thank you so much @Natalie Schanne!

I’ll definitely make a consideration of your advice. I’m playing more around student housing idea. Bit of cash flow and good appreciation down 5-10 years would be ideal.

thank you!

Thanks so much for your advice, @Antonio Cucciniello! 
I also looked into Newark, but it seems like the neighborhood has a bit higher crime rate than I would’ve liked! I’m not sure if that assumption is correct!

Hi Bigger Pockets members.

I am a first time real estate investor who is looking to invest in NJ or NY (within 1 hour ride to Manhattan).

My budget is max $500,000.

Which town would you recommend to look into for an investment property?

Also, any tips you can give in terms of finding a website where I can do more research about investment worthy neighborhoods?

Looking forward to your tips!

Thanks,
