@Lamont Newsome Hi Lamont! As others have said, taxes, taxes, taxes. I'm currently house hacking a duplex in south jersey and am continuing to look for deals in that part of the state as well. Taxes are a tad lower and so are home values. 

@Mike Dorneman Sounds like that first deal was a home run and really helped you take off. I've looked in PA, but don't know the areas well so am hesitant but as you've proved, the deals are there.  Congrats!

@Amina Sanders oh no! does did mean the Collingswood deal fell through?

@Justin Fraser Congrats Justin! Great example of hard work paying off. Would love some more details about the deal. I'm also interested in your return on this. As a new investor (one duplex), I'm curious as to how a small piece of a big pie compares to owning a bunch of small pies. What was your original goal, did this deal help you meet that, what's next for you? 

Congrats, again!

 Hi Amina,

I second James post. I regularlly attend those and find them very valuable. I was unable to attend the InvestHer meet up but am keeping my eye out for the next one. I have a duplex in Haddon Township and am looking for another in the general vicinity. Good luck with your search!

@Joe P. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking at two properties, one is a few blocks from that intersection north and the other is more towards Max's Seafood. Unfortunately, I do not have section 8 information. Sorry I couldn't be of further help. 

Hi Joe, congrats on the new property! I have duplex in Haddon Township and there weren't any additional inspections/paperwork besides those you mentioned. One extra thing is parking permits, I know that's for the tenants but would be good to pass onto them. 

Where in Gloucester City is the property located? I've been looking in the area for the next multi and am still trying to navigate between the nicer and not so nice areas. 

Unable to attend this one, unfortunately. But I will definitely be at the next one. Have fun, guys!

Hi @Frank A Piccirillo II

Welcome to BP! I'm currently househacking a duplex in South Jersey. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Good luck!

 James with the solid advice. Now if only I can take it!

Congrats, Tyler! Super excited for you! Property #2 is where I'm struggling as well. Another house hack, a row home in camden, a triplex in Philly, a single family out of state? So many options!
