of course that’s my plan. gotta sit in 8 hours of work first i fear

I am ready to give up lmao

Superintendent resigned and gets 200k, im sorry, 186k a year until 2025. After resigning and blaming the victim and her father. Shameful shit

People seem to think that owning a home or renting out a home is some form of charity.

The bad guy is not the individual landlords...it's the commercial real estate groups, banks, investment firms and insurance companies.

There are always ways to make anonymous tips.

La Niña has been in effect for over a year. It affects global weather patterns for the whole year, not just the winter, lol. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not what’s happening.

You'd be demanding parasitic profit by threatening to withhold a basic human need (shelter). It isn't just that passive income is unethical.

If you want to invest in housing ethically, build a house.

Buying stocks doesn’t include leeching off people’s labor. Renters will pay you more than your mortgage. You’ll take their money then pay your mortgage getting credit for THEIR money. You’re directly profiting off their labor by inserting yourself in the process. There’s zero upside for the renter. If you’re ethically ok with that then be a landlord. It’s a choice you need to make for yourself.

Go to a car wash that does undercarriage washing.

Dam Rahway is getting cute? What part lol. It was still pretty not nice when I grew up around there

Don’t listen to all the broke babies here. Everyone has the same opportunity to buy if they want. Rent it out.

The only thing I would add is with rates the way they are now your profit margin on a single unit is probably low. If you were living in the other unit solidly worth it still.

"Limiting the number of licenses to one cannabis cultivator license, one cannabis manufacturer license, one cannabis wholesaler license, one cannabis distributor"

There it is.

😂 I’m over here in the trenches just trying to look at a cape cod without standing on a line at an open house. Housing market is rough in jersey…

Thanks! High taxes combined with below standards schools seems like a red flag to me.

So how does one ethically invest in anything? If I put money in the market, I'm also making money sitting on my dead ass right?

Oh that is an interesting concept. Thanks

Rahway has a nice downtown area, great shopping nearby, the parkway and turnpike are accessible and close by, great parks, shade, sidewalks (in theory it's walkable, depending where you live), a major hub train station that has two train lines running through and depending on the train it can take 40-50 mins to get to midtown manhattan (and you're usually only waiting up to 20 mins to get on the next train in or out of NYC). Only drawback is that the schools suck and the taxes are high. Parking can be annoying too for some of the homes or apartments with no driveway or lot.

You already have that landlord mindset of thinking you're providing a service. Ugh.

I don't know - I just like it. Cute little shops and restaurants and independent bookstores and coffee shops. Very diverse unlike most "cutesy" towns in NJ

Because you’re just making money off the renters labor. Kinda goes with being a landlord.

seems like its probably still below market value.

> Neighbor Kim Forsyth didn’t hear the boom because she sleeps with earplugs.

Whatever company makes those earplugs has a new marketing campaign, damn.

“Neighborhood is getting cute, let me help gentrify further and scoop up a house that an actual family can buy and occupy.” hm

Exhibit A demonstrating why rents are sky high and homes are impossible to afford.

Property taxes probably went up for landlord, too. It sucks but at the end of the day, their purpose is the make $ on the property
