I think the price declines are very regional. There are parts of NJ that are stubbornly resiliant to the downturn while other areas are highly affected.
The areas where I think there is the most opportunity is in low end housing. It's not as ritzy as investing in higher quality properties, but the cash flow is tremendous.
I put in only 2 offers yesterday instead of 4. The areas are "tough" but after it's all said and done, I have a cash flowing machine. These 4 or 5 bedroom properties rent for $1300-1500 per month. After RE taxes, insurance and other expenses, I will make my initial investment back within 4 years.
These properties sold for 150k a few years back. My offers are 10k. I plan on spending 25k to fix them up to make them as water proof and indistructible as possible.
One of the properties countered me at 20k.... I'll settle for 15.
