Avoid investing in cities with anti-business environments.Metro population >1M: Companies require significant infrastructure.

New Jersey has the 1974 Anti-Eviction Act.

However, ensure that your decision does not violate any anti-discrimination laws or local ordinances.Make sure that:The records are accurate and pertain to the applicant.You have established written criteria for tenant screening, which should include reasons for denial such as prior evictions, judgments, or debt-related issues.

After all that I'm sure it sounds like I'm anti real-estate.
