for sale: New Jersey Apartment Complexes | Multi Family Investing - 05/09/11 10:49 AM
As the Northern New Jersey housing market works into its final stages of finding the bottom in many sub-markets, more and more demand for rental units continue to heat up.  Challenging home financing requirements, foreclosed / short sale homeowners who are pretty much forced to rent, and preference of lowering personal living expenses are just a few reasons for why people are renting, resulting in lower vacancy rates.  As a result, more investors are on the hunt for New Jersey apartment complexes for sale.
Finding the right apartment complex or multi-family dwelling can be tedious but tremendously rewarding.  As inflation nears, … (0 comments)

for sale: Distressed / REO Florida Apartment Complexes - 10/17/10 03:17 AM
We have been preaching multi-family real estate investing for almost 2 years now.  The reason is simple.  More foreclosures, less credit, less loans.  The rental market has surged over the last 18  months.  Rental rates are increasing and inventory is much tougher to find.  Our team provides real estate investors of Florida apartment complexes a full service.  We assist in identifying the asset, negotiating the price, and budgeting a Capital Expenditure report, all the way through stabilization.
You will find hundreds of apartment complexes for sale on LoopNet and eBay.  My feeling is that once an apartment complex that is distressed … (3 comments)

for sale: Buying a 2 family home in New Jersey - 10/08/09 06:08 AM
Recently, I have been a huge advocate of first time homebuyers having an open mind to multi-family homes in northern NJ.  For the sake of argument, I am going to use Clifton, NJ as my example since my most recent inquiries were for Passaic County. 
Let's assume renters, or you are paying $1,250 for half of a 2 family home.  Their apartment is likely 2 bedrooms with a full bathroom and a total of 5-6 rooms.  This is about the average. 
Are you familiar with FHA financing?  If you are still renting because you cannot afford conventional financing's requirement of 20% … (0 comments)

for sale: Ramsey NJ Real Estate Report on Homes sold and for sale - 09/17/09 07:22 AM
Due to popular request, I am going to do a mid-month Ramsey NJ real estate report.  Due to increased website traffic and homebuying inquiries, it looks like there are a few indicative factors.  First, the tax credit available until the end of the year has people determined to hit the deadline.  Second, low rates may have buyers thinking about inflation control where the Feds could increase the key interest rates soon to stave off inflation.  And three, historically low home prices.
So without further ado, the real estate report below is from housing data gathered from both the GSMLS and the NJMLS.  … (0 comments)

for sale: New Jersey Home Sales UP, Confidence UP... Does this signal the bottom? - 08/26/09 05:05 AM
Bloomberg reported that home values in 20 U.S metropolitan areas probably decreased at a slower pace while consumer confidence climbed.  Could this be a sign that the recession is letting up as real estate inventory dissipates?  Of course this is a major part in dictating a bottom, but lets also not forget that we have an unemployment problem to fix that could take some time, however, the housing market signs are pointing upwards.
For the first time in 2.5 years, home sales are higher in the Northeast than they were the year before.  Although most of the sales came from distressed … (0 comments)
