We are fans of this! Uber drivers around the country are on the lookout for distressed properties. They’re capturing photos of the houses on their phones and then sending them to real estate investors.

If you have a lead for a property, get in touch with us!

Some food-delivery and ride-sharing drivers are finding a new use of their downtime: scouting property targets for house flippers.

We are very excited to hear and see that such a great project is underway near the train station. The lot has been empty for a while, and the new development will enhance the appearance and activity around the area.

A property near one of Downtown Newark’s two major train stations has been vacant for decades. Now, a developer has filed plans to construct a 255-unit project with retail space, an art gallery, and pocket parks.

We really like the idea behind this. To show how safe Newark really is, there is a 24-hour soccer game going on. Yes, even at night!

NEWARK, NJ – Throwing a 24-hour soccer game in Military Park isn’t just a way for one online sports review startup to publicize its website.

Shaq is giving back, kind of. If you didn’t know, Shaquille O’Neal is originally from Newark, New Jersey. Shaq is giving back in a way, by building a beautiful 22 story building, worth 80 million dollars with an amazing view of New York City. Inside will be 168 units ranging from $1800 – $2700 a month and $150 a month for the parking garage.

Apartments offer panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline or of Newark’s downtown. The roof will have cabanas, TVs, grills and, of course, an uninterrupted view across the river to New York City.

The first floor will house office space and one retailer, Boraie said. There will be a gym, a library and a large dining room for residents to use.
