It depends.
New Jersey requires you to file a return as a nonresident if you earned over $10,000 (single or Married Filing Separately) or $20,000 (Married Filing Jointly, Head of Household, or Qualifying widow) from all sources, not just based from New Jersey sources.
If you meet those requirements, you will need to file a nonresident New Jersey return (Form NJ-1040NR). Be sure to mark the property as being located in NJ in the federal interview section.
Prepare the nonresident New Jersey return before preparing your state resident return.
Make sure you only reflect the New Jersey source income in the interview section. This will ensure you are only taxed on that income.
