Yes, absolutely. And to really boost your credibility, you should remember to throw in your brilliant exterminator intel.
Don't forget to include your tone deaf I'm-not-racist-but-- anecdotes about "off the boat", "usually one specific type of people" who trash everything and force everyone else to pay higher rents. That's exactly the kind of commentary that's encouraged and embraced in the real estate business.
With your fast track smooth talking ways, you can rent to whoever you want. When your commercial property looks and smells like a third world country, I guess you'll have your way and really teach me a lesson.
I will admit its a chit hole. But there also are a lot of good spots, great spots actually to dine downtown. The close proximity to the city is what drives the rental and home values so high
It's definitely cleaner than NYC. And that's because there are less people and it's less crowded. Although it is in a different state, it is essentially an extension of NYC. One thing I will say...and I'm sure many will agree... the tap water in JC (and Hoboken) is dirty and nothing like NYC water. Which, for me, would be an issue living there. I got a stomach ache from the water once.

Really? I learned in this thread that rents are high because people have to compensate for off-the-boats not paying rent and turning it into a smelly third world country.

If you plan on owning real estate/being a landlord in downtown Jersey City, all you are doing is shooting yourself in the foot by portraying the area as a third world country inhabited by off-the-boats who don't pay rent.
Furthermore, if my investment property looks and smells like a third world country, it's because either I'm a slumlord, and/or completely incompetent at being a landlord and vetting potential renters.
Maybe you (or your friend's family, or your friend's brother, or whoever the characters in your story are) had some bad landlord experiences, but to try and make it seem like it's a commonplace issue in downtown Jersey City of all places is preposterous.

I agree regarding the tap water. I run it through a Brita for household consumption and it is fine. But straight from the tap it's not the best.

I thought you wanted to rent to any one and everyone.

OK, quote me where I stated I would rent to any one and everyone. I am fascinated. Also, what are you drinking? Where can I get some?
