  3. New York vs New Jersey

    Never said I wasnt diversified. And I know we happened to do our sale/purchase transactions at the right time. Neither of us bought our first places just to flip them a couple of years later. We also didnt buy more than we could afford - which seems to be part of the problem with some of the...
