[NJ] I’m looking to buy a 1st time duplex/multi-family home and live in it

-Plan is to get pre approved for a $500,000 max 30 yr conventional loan with 5% down

-type of home: multi family duplex (more bedrooms/units the better)

-plan on living in said home

-have 2 more roommates I’m friends with that I could rent to from day 1

-north jersey market ideally within walking distance to train to NYC

About me:

-25 yr old single male

-$75,000 annual income

-805 credit score

-$25,000 in savings for down payment

-DTI is less than $1,000/month in car loan/student loan/credit card payments

Any feedback on my current plan would be greatly appreciated. I’m sick of throwing money away every month toward rent. I know it’s never a good idea to bite off more than you can chew when it comes to a big mortgage so if something were to happen I’d need to be able to pay the entire mortgage myself and I understand the responsibility. I’ll also need to boost my savings a bit more before buying so I have a solid 3-6 month emergency fund. Thank you for reading :)

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
