To invest in a fix and flip real estate property, the most important step is finding the property. While it’s important to ensure the numbers make sense and that the rehab is manageable, a significant factor in selecting a property is the neighborhood.
Fortunately, New Jersey real estate properties are a hot commodity right now. This is primarily a result of the COVID pandemic, with many New York City residents moving to New Jersey. While this trend appeared temporary in the beginning of the pandemic, it’s now obvious it is here to stay. This is in large part due to companies still allowing employees to work from home for an undefined amount of time.
