Buying this Year!

The only one I know of is Prudential New Jersey, but it passed. I'm sure u can call them or anywhere else to see if they're having one.

Do you live in Bloomfield? They usually mail information about seminars to residents. You may also find it on their website. The first I attended was given by HUD. You can check the HUD site for information.

A NACA workshop may also answer questions for you. http://www.naca.com

Plus, there is a lot of information one YouTube and on city-data.com. Go to the forum & scroll to the real estate professionals page & post your question. http://www.city-data.com/forum/

You're still going to have to sit with a realtor, but these places are a start.

Good Luck. - Sat Aug 22 2009, 12:50

Thank you for your help. I found a lot of information on http://www.propertyshark.com/ and http://www.starledger.com/str/indexpage/taxes/taxstreet.asp. - Wed Jul 15 2009, 21:35

The more I look in Piscataway the less I get the "neighborhood" feeling. I want sidewalks and to be able to walk from the train station home if I want to. Attending open houses helped a lot. I want what Bloomfield, Montclair, & West Orange offers with lower taxes. I might have to bite the bullet and stay in Essex County...Ugh! - Mon Jul 13 2009, 15:01

Thank you everyone for your responses!

A few suggested Western New Jersey which I haven’t considered. I’m not sure how wonderful that’ll be when traveling to work in the snow but I’ll look into those areas as well.

I am looking for a condo, townhouse, or duplex. Minor repairs are ok. I’m not interested in a multi-family or a major fixer upper.

I welcome any listings and open houses you’d like to forward to me at muski31@aol.com. - Fri Jul 10 2009, 08:01
