Here is the link to property tax calculations. Tax rates are pretty much the same for Montclair and Newark, it is all based on the property value.

I was surprised to see areas like Irvington and East Orange to have the highest rates, but property values are very low.

Hope this helps :)

Hi Altamar,

I am a new B to real estate investing, currently in process of educating myself.

I saw this post, just wanted to ask why are you interested in Essex county area? I currently live in Bloomfield, very familiar with this county, been living all around here and there for about 10 years.

As far as i know this is one of the most expensive counties in NJ in terms of property taxes.

@ Nicole H. - Thank you for your input!

@John Kent - I will  check the school. Thank you

@Jonathan Drago - I think that is the way to activate your license, you have to be associated with broker. Even though you will be flipping houses - you still will need to buy/sell property which will be done through the broker..It appears you bypass the agent and you are your own agent..I might be mistaken, correct me if I am wrong.. :)

Hi Lundy!

I am interested in Online programs since I am not physically in Florida unless there is a class offering in New Jersey that I can take..as far as I know it is not an option. NJ offers classes for NJ License and it is not one of those 8 states that Florida has "agreement".  

Congrats on passing exam, yay to that!

Hi All,

I have decided to go for real estate license in Florida; I ve done research on it and the great news to me was the fact that you may take pre-license course online. I wanted to ask whoever took online pre-license to recommend the institution/program. There are very many options out there plus I am not  a resident in Florida, would be great to hear from someone who took the course. Thanks so much!

Thank you All for welcoming! Looking forward to new learning experiences!

Hi All!

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I just signed up for Bigger Pockets and wanted to introduce myself to the community. I currently reside in NJ and looking into real estate investing in Orlando, Florida. I am also planning to relocate to Florida within a year. I am a "CPA" (pending license), my background includes tax/accounting for Private Equity and Hedge funds. I am looking to create multiple sources of income, which would include real estate investing, and network with like minded people.  I am very excited about joining this community. I am open to learning about this industry and would want to provide value in return for expertise and knowledge.

Thank you all!
